March 2, 2013 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Eccotopia has agreed to the development, implementation, and management of Megafolia© tree plantations in South Africa, identifying land use, as well as the approximate number of local jobs to be created.

Cape Town, South Africa, March 01, 2013 — Julian Moses, president of Symphony Trade and Investment 57 (PTY) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eccotopia Ltd., http://www.eccotopia.com , announced today that Eccotopia has secured an initial test site in the Republic of South Africa. Phase 1 of the initiative will include implementation of a Site and Feasibility Study/Analysis that will identify land and plantation use, the approximate number of local jobs to be created, as well as the establishment of a greenhouse and propagation facility.

The project goal is job creation through the development, implementation and management of Eccotopia’s Megafolia© tree plantations for a variety of uses including Phytoremediation of ground water and topsoil, biofuel production, timber production, biomass-to-energy production and carbon sequestration. Also, the wide variety of timber products available from Eccotopia’s Megafolia© trees are remarkably able to ultimately provide numerous new job possibilities in the region.

The establishment of Eccotopia’s Megafolia© tree plantations can utilize waste mining water as the trees grow, creating a solution for mining waste water issues. Eccotopia’s Megafolia© trees are uniquely suited for the process of phytoremediation, as they are able to flourish utilizing polluted mining water which is an abundant by-product of the mining industry.

Eccotopia Issued ISIN and CUSIP

January 15, 2013 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The ISIN number (International Securities Identification Number) applied for by Eccotopia has been issued. Eccotopia also was issued a CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures) number.

Cape Town, South Africa – January 14, 2013 — Julian Moses, President of Symphony Trade and Investment 57 (PTY) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eccotopia Ltd., http://www.eccotopia.com , announced today that the ISIN number (International Securities Identification Number) that was applied for by Eccotopia has been issued. Eccotopia also was issued a CUSIP number. The ISIN number is VGG292031090 and the CUSIP number is G29203109.

An International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) uniquely identifies a security. Its structure is defined in ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 6166. Securities for which ISIN’s are issued include bonds, commercial paper, equities and warrants. The ISIN code is a 12-character alpha-numerical code that does not contain information characterizing financial instruments but serves for uniform identification of a security at trading and settlement.

Securities to which ISIN’s can be issued include debt securities, shares, options, derivatives and futures. The ISIN identifies the security, not the exchange (if any) on which it trades; it is not a ticker symbol. For instance, Daimler AG stock trades through almost 30 trading platforms and exchanges worldwide ( http://www.eccotopia.com ), and is priced in five different currencies; it has the same ISIN on each, though not the same ticker symbol. ISIN cannot specify a particular trading location in this case, and another identifier, typically MIC (Market Identification Code) or the three-letter exchange code, will have to be specified in addition to the ISIN. The Currency of the trade will also be required to uniquely identify the instrument using this method.

A CUSIP is a 9-character alphanumeric code which identifies a North American financial security for the purposes of facilitating clearing and settlement of trades. The CUSIP distribution system is owned by the American Bankers Association, and is operated by Standard & Poor’s. The CUSIP Service Bureau acts as the National numbering agency (NNA) for North America, and the CUSIP serves as the National Securities Identification Number for products issued from both the United States and Canada.

Eccotopia Planning to Apply for Matching Funds

January 7, 2013 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The South African government has a program that provides funds for environmental cleanup, while Eccotopia has a solution for the disposal of the large quantity of acidic mining waste water, using Megafolia trees for the process of phytoremediation.

Cape Town, South Africa, January 07, 2013– Julian Moses, President of Symphony Trade and Investment 57 (PTY) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eccotopia Ltd. http://www.eccotopia.com, announced today that Eccotopia has decided to enter into discussion in 2013 to apply for matching funds from the South African government for its project in South Africa. Eccotopia plans to offer a lasting resolution to the mine water problem in South Africa with the use of the Megafolia trees and their profound abilities in the process of phytoremediation. Currently the government has a program that provides funds for environmental cleanup projects that provide a “green solution”; the project is estimated to create thousands of jobs in the next six to ten years. Eccotopia has had favorable preliminary discussions with the labor unions in South Africa.

In addition to the environmental project cleanup system, the company will be offering a green energy solution starting in the 5th year of the project. Besides being an excellent natural resource for the process of phytoremediation, the fast-growing Megafolia trees are a rapid producer of biomass, offering the opportunity to produce both ethanol and diesel for trucks. While the first phase of the project will be to demonstrate that Eccotopia ( http://www.eccotopia.com ) has a solution for the disposal of the large quantity of mining waste water, the secondary benefits will be the production of “green fuel” for the vast needs of Southern Africa. Initial plans call for the hiring of 20 to 30 employees which will be trained the first year to be the future leaders in the rapid expansion of the project.

( http://www.eccotopia.com ), announced today that Eccotopia Ltd. has completed the necessary groundwork to start operations in 2013. Symphony Trade has secured a test location in Phokeng, South Africa. The initial location provides a test site of 40 hectares.

This will allow Eccotopia to have a side by side demonstration of the growing effectiveness of the Megafolia trees that the company will be planting. Julian Moses stated that the major reason there has been keen interest in this project in South Africa is that the trees have a high tolerance for using acidic water.

The following demonstrates the benefits of the Megafolia trees:
1. Each tree removes 48 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year. (115,200 lbs. per acre per year)
2. Each tree releases about 13 lbs. of oxygen per day. (31,200 lbs. per acre per day)
3. Each acre of trees will scrub 13 tons of harmful CO2, gases and dust from the air per year.
4. Each tree can absorb 24 gallons of wastewater per day. (57,600 gallons per acre per day.)

Currently the Government is under tremendous political pressure to seek a solution to the wide spread problem with the massive amounts of acidic waste water that is produced in mining business in South Africa. Symphony Trade believes that the proposed joint venture with Pacific Tree and the Megafolia trees will provide proof of a solution to this major problem.
