Chief Executive Officer Joseph Caywood said, "As I said previously, we have made remarkable progress and are very excited to be moving forward so quickly with our business strategy. Signing such a major equipment contract at the dawn of establishing our first waste disposal and processing plant is yet another strong vote of confidence by others who have chosen to join our initiative to address Mexico's growing demand for industrial, hazardous and toxic waste management."

IET's patented technology is capable of processing hazardous waste simultaneously without presorting for maximum efficiency. The system virtually reduces waste volume by 95 percent. The design of the system also reduces breeding sites for scavengers, rodents, insects and disease that are sometimes found in other processes.
