RIVERBANK, Calif., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ECO2 Plastics, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: EOPI), the eco-friendly recycling company that is changing the way plastics are recycled, today reported its 2009 third quarter financial results in a Form 10-Q filing. The Company reported the following results:

        million during the same period in 2008.
    --  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30th were $3.0 million in
        2009 versus $5.4 million in 2008.

    --  Excluding a one-time impairment of assets related to the closing of the

During the quarter, the Company closed its existing facility in Riverbank, CA.

The Company has not yet executed a lease agreement or a purchase agreement for the equipment, which will be subject to raising additional financing. Additionally, the Company filed a second amendment to a preliminary 14C and 13E3 with the SEC to conduct a 1 for 2000 reverse stock split. The filing continues to be under review and a definitive 14C will be filed following completion of answers to the SEC's comments.

Rod Rougelot, CEO of ECO2 Plastics stated, "Raising additional financing remains our primary focus with the goal of being operational again in the second quarter of 2010."
