China Industrial Waste Management's Hunan Hanyang Subsidiary Receives First Installment of RMB 21 Million Government Subsidy

DALIAN, China, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CIWT) ("China Industrial Waste Management" or the "Company"), a leading environmental services and solutions provider in China, announced today that the Company's subsidiary, Hunan Hanyang Environmental Protection Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hunan Hanyang"), received a RMB 21 million (approximately $3.1 million) government subsidy, representing the first installment of a total expected government subsidy of RMB 110 million (approximately $16.1 million).

As previously disclosed, the total expected government subsidy represents 60% of the total projected RMB 185 million (approximately $27.1 million) cost to construct the Hazardous Waste Treatment Center of Changsha City, Hunan Province ("the Center"). Hunan Hanyang has a franchise agreement with the Bureau of Environmental Protection of Hunan Province pursuant to which Hunan Hanyang has the right to construct and operate the Center for 25 years upon completion of construction. The Center is one of the 55 hazardous waste treatment centers included in the Chinese government's National Construction Planning of Hazardous Waste and Medical Waste Disposal Facilities and it will be responsible for collection, disposal and treatment of hazardous waste generated from 10 cities in northern Hunan Province including Changsha, Zhuzhou, Changde, Yiyang, Xiangtan, Yueyang, Zhangjiakou, Huaihua, Loudi and Xiangxi. The Center will include a storage facility, an incinerator, a hazardous waste landfill, and an industrial effluent treatment facility, with a total capacity of 46,000 tons per year. The Company anticipates it will take two years to complete the construction and the Center will be operational in early 2012.

"We are pleased to receive the first installment of the government subsidy to construct a Hazardous Waste Treatment Center in Changsha City, the capital city of Hunan Province," said Mr. Jinqing Dong, Chief Executive Officer. "Hunan Province is an attractive market for China Industrial Waste Management. Hunan's GDP growth rate during the first three quarters of 2009 was 13.1%, significantly higher than China's national GDP growth rate of 7.7% over the same period. In addition, Hunan is home to several large state-owned enterprises and large companies operating across many growing industries. We believe the strong industrial performance of the province offers our company an attractive market opportunity for future growth as both government and industry look to establish stricter environmental standards, while continuing to increase domestic market demand."
