Startech Environmental Chooses Schwartz Communications as Public Relations Agency of Record

    Environmental Technology Company Partners With One of The Nation's Top
Technology PR Agencies to Accelerate Sale of Revolutionary Waste Destruction,
              Pollution Prevention and Resource Recovery System

    WILTON, Conn., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting company, today
announced Schwartz Communications, Inc. as its public relations agency of
record.  Schwartz Communications is the Nation's second-largest independent
public relations agency focused on high-tech, medical and biotechnology
companies.
    "Our job is to make sure that people understand the benefits of Startech's
leading-edge technology by increasing media coverage," said David Close,
executive vice president of Schwartz Communications. "Startech has perfected a
safe technology that can help communities and industries solve their hazardous
and non-hazardous waste problems, while generating cost-effective, clean
energy as a byproduct.  It's important that potential users of this important
environmental technology understand that it's affordable, highly effective and
it's available now -- and that's what we're going to do."
    Mr. Close also said, "This revolutionary system prevents pollution by
safely and economically processing all solid, liquid and gaseous wastes, and
in addition, it produces valuable commercial products, including hydrogen,
from those materials.   The need for an affordable solution to the waste
crisis is evidenced by the 200 million tons of hazardous waste generated
annually in the U.S. alone.  An additional 13 billion tons per year of
nonhazardous waste are also generated in the U.S.  The market for Plasma
Converters is world wide and measured in billions of dollars."
