Market Leaders Create Strategic Relationship To Divert As Much As 250 Million Pounds Of Waste From U.S. Landfills

Sun Valley Worldwide, a premier global recycling and environmental services company and Sigma Stretch Film Corp., the largest U.S. and Canadian producer of industrial stretch film, create NextLife.

DELRAY BEACH, FL July 11, 2004 -- Sun Valley Worldwide, a premier global recycling and environmental services company and Sigma Stretch Film Corp., the largest U.S. and Canadian producer of industrial stretch film, have entered into a strategic relationship. The program, called NextLife, is a program designed to recycle, versus dispose of, used stretch film from the marketplace. This program aims to recover millions of pounds of stretch film each year, which may have otherwise filled our nations landfills.

All stretch film produced in the United States must either be recycled or disposed of. The NextLife program provides the end users of stretch film with a convenient method of recycling stretch film and are even compensated for their waste at market competitive prices. Under the agreement, Sigma will market and promote the program to its sales force and customers, while Sun Valley will purchase the materials and recycle them into resins to produce recycled products.

Bob Nocek, President of Sigma Stretch Film describes the significance of this new program. With the NextLife program available to stretch film waste producers, a channel exists that is convenient, reliable, consistent, profitable and environmentally-sensitive that never existed before. Diverting millions of pounds from the landfill to a productive alternative is a win-win for Sigma Stretch Film, our customers and the environment.

Daniel Schrager, President of Sun Valley Worldwide, contributes his enthusiasm to the NextLife program. It has always been the mission of Sun Valley Worldwide to create value for our customers and strategic partners, without compromise to the environment. The resins we will produce from the recycled stretch film will be used in the production of products in multiple industries including construction, automotive, agricultural and consumer goods. We cannot be more pleased to have Sigma Stretch Film, the worlds leading stretch film manufacturer, as a premier recycling partner.

Program launch is scheduled for August 1, 2004. For information regarding the program or to participate, visit www.nextlife-recyle.com or call 877-NXT-LIFE.
