For Release                         7:00am                          13 June 2005

                             TEG ENVIRONMENTAL PLC:
            State Veterinary Service Grants Positive Release Status
             Impacts Revenue Generation, Opens Larger New Markets

TEG Environmental Plc ("TEG" or "the Company"), the leading edge green
technology company which converts organic wastes into natural organic
fertilizer, is pleased to announce that it has been granted positive release
status by the State Veterinary Service. This permits it to process Category III
animal by-products ("ABP") and paves the way for securing full ABP validation.

This approval, at the Company's original composting plant at Sherdley Farm, near
Preston, represents the highest possible classification in the organic waste
treatment market.

It allows TEG to open Sherdley Farm to the highest value organic waste stream
and generate revenue, as well as opening up larger markets for the company.
Sherdley Farm already has planning permission for expansion and a full waste
management license.

Commenting, Michael Fishwick, Chief Executive of TEG Environmental, said:
"Achieving positive release status from the State Veterinary Service is the
major hurdle we needed to overcome to achieve full certification for our
composting plants. To date, Sherdley Farm has provided a strong reference for
sales and given TEG the ability to develop its product. We are now able to
secure disposal contracts for the plant and turn it into a revenue generator.
This development also opens up new high volume markets for TEG from the big
waste management companies, supermarkets and multinational food processors, who
all seek approved plants."

TEG expects to receive full ABP approval in three months, which will make it one
of a handful of companies in the organic waste treatment market to have
accreditation for its technology. So far, only three other companies have
achieved full approval to process category III ABP in the UK.

Britain introduced ABP Regulations ("ABPR") after the BSE and Foot & Mouth
outbreaks, with EU legislation following in May 2003. ABPR prevents the use of
animal by-products from being fed to other animals or disposed of via landfill.
The 1.6 million tonnes of animal by-products the UK generates each year include
products previously applied untreated to land, such as abattoir waste and, from
31 December 2005, former foodstuffs that contain or have been in contact with
meat products, catering waste and supermarket food waste.

The ABP Regulations specify composting, incineration, rendering and anaerobic
digestion as the only approved disposal methods achievable in the UK and the EU.
The impact of the ABP Regulations is that approximately 1.6 million tonnes will
soon need treatment in the industry, creating a larger market for composting
provided by TEG's in vessel composting plants.
