FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL ANNOUNCES SUCCESSION PLAN 
WILTON, CT, April 22, 2008 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Startech Environmental Corp. (OTC BB: STHK), a fully reporting, Award-winning Environment and Energy Company today announced the implementation of the Management Succession Plan unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at its recent meeting held on March 26, 2008.
Joseph F. Longo, Startech president and CEO, said, “Startech is fortunate to have many fine people of promise and talent. During the past year, we have increased the breadth of the Company’s skills and strengths, and now the objective is to increase the depth of those skills and strengths with a particular emphasis on back-up positions. “Provisions have to be made for the possible loss of key-people resulting from such things as retirements, resignations, deaths and even long term-illnesses. The immediate, primary focus of the Management Succession Plan will be on our senor-executive-officer positions, including the office of President and CEO. This will allow for smooth transitions over time, and insure the stability, good order and future prosperity of the Company.” About Startech – the environment and energy company Startech is the internationally recognized, Award-winning Environment and Energy Industry Company producing and selling of its innovative, proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System™. The Plasma Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter how hazardous or lethal, and turns most into useful and valuable products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to improve the Public Health and Safety. The System achieves closed-loop elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy urban waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as electronics-waste (e-waste), medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty wastes, while converting many of them into useful commodity products that can include silicates, metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG) ™. Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to produce "Carbonless Electric Power” from Startech Hydrogen, Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other higher alcohol “alternative” fuels. Startech Hydrogen, for commercial use and sale, can also be recovered from the PCG. The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system producing valuable commodity products from feedstock-materials that were previously regarded as wastes. Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as valuable renewable resources and as feedstocks.
