SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Jun 19, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) ----Paul Roszel, Chairman of RecycleNet Corporation (OTCBB: GARM)is pleased to introduce the Recycling Offset Credit (ROCs) program. This program provides a certified measurement system to recognize and reward companies for their recycling efforts. RecycleNet will issue/award Recycling Offset Credits (ROCs) for each ton of material recycled by participants.

As a result of the increased awareness of climate change and global warming, more and more people have become concerned about greenhouse gas emissions and are developing strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. Many companies, individuals and institutions have implemented carbon neutral goals.

The Recycling Offset Credits (ROCs) program is an effort to provide a universally recognized standard to measure and certify recycling efforts and to demonstrate the economic impact of the recycling industry. Recycling Offset Credits (ROCs) may be used to calculate an equivalent offset of your carbon footprint.

RecycleNet Corporation invites any company, institution or organization to participate in the voluntary ROCs program by reporting materials recycled. There is no fee to participate and the program is open and applicable to anyone in all stages of the recycling/reverse distribution supply chain.
