Posted on: Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 15:00 CST

reWorks Environmental Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: REW), is pleased to announce that it has changed its name to Forterra Environmental Corp. and the trading symbol to FTE.

The Company will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under its new symbol FTE on February 22, 2008.

At our annual and special meeting of Shareholders on January 30th, 2008 the shareholders voted in favour of the special resolution to change the company name to Forterra Environmental Corp. "I was happy to see the shareholders get behind the new name," said Don Green. "The favourable response from the market place after changing the subsidiary's name in July of last year gave me complete confidence that the new identity was received well. We had a need to align that identity with the public entity to ensure continuity for our customers and shareholders alike."

"We have been working very hard over the past months ramping up our production facility and generating interest from some serious customers," said Gary Gould "we have done our market research properly, conducted definitive 3rd party scientific testing on our product and made significant contacts within our identified initial target markets. With the proper sales tools in hand and an understanding of the increasing demand for our product this growing season we will be able to, not only demonstrate the demand for the product with some significant sales, but ensure the product is properly positioned as an economically viable effective solution for our customers that will enforce the long term viability of the company"

About Forterra Environmental Corp.

Forterra Environmental Corp. is an emerging leader in the production and marketing of premium organic soil enrichment products. These environmentally friendly products boost fertility while replenishing the soil with organic matter, using worm castings, for sustainable, long-term benefits, including stronger root growth and drought and pest resistance. Forterra is the first company to commercialize the indoor, large-scale production of totally organic soil-enrichment products. Essentially, Forterra uses red wriggler worms to convert organic waste into vermicompost or worm castings. Worm castings contain micronutrients, which are required for healthy plant development. Worm castings also contain microbes, which increase the rate at which plants take up available macronutrients and micronutrients.
