NEWS RELEASE





                  ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE, INC. CEO
                      ISSUES UPDATE LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS


CONCORD, Ontario, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental Solutions
Worldwide Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW)
announced today that David J. Johnson, President and CEO sent the following open
letter to its shareholders:



Fellow Shareholders,

Subsequent the long haul to secure our initial Active Level III California Air
Resources Board (CARB) Verifications in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2009 for both
On-road and Off-road diesel powered vehicle and equipment applications, the
stage was finally set for ESW to enter into the diesel emissions retrofit
marketplace providing viable and economic solutions. The Company's Therma
Cat(TM) Active Diesel Particulate Filter Plus system, which we believe is more
efficient and cost effective than current conventional catalytic conversion
systems, has been installed on everything from school buses, trucks, cranes and
construction equipment to armored vehicles. Further, it is our view that we have
the best CARB Verified Active Level II Plus system available in the market
today, which is echoed by our growing sales and the ratio of competitive bids we
are winning.

In the nine months period that has followed the final approval in August 2009
great strides have been made in growing our customer base and development of
Therma Cat(TM) applications. Many of the orders that the company has received
since this time do not warrant individual announcements but collectively we
believe they are significant as our customers have given exploratory orders to
confirm that our products deliver what the Company states. We anticipate in the
3rd quarter of 2010 that the early Therma Cat(TM) orders will indeed become
significant. In the interim, the Company is continuing its program of broadening
the scope of the existing Therma Cat(TM) technology verifications with CARB to
cover a wider demographic of applications and expects to announce the success of
these ongoing programs when they materialize.

The Company's Xtrm Cat(TM) Marine and Locomotive diesel engine retrofit
emissions technology has continued to prosper in this new and exciting emerging
market as we make inroads and sales of the Xtrm Cat(TM) into what we believe are
highly visible and significant applications. In November of 2009 we announced
the $2m grant to apply 13 Xtrm Cat's(TM) into a fleet of inland marine vessels
operating on the Mississippi River corridor. This program, one of the largest
single applications of retrofit emission reduction technology in the history of
the industry, has proven to be extremely successful with on-ship EPA testing
demonstrating meaningful emissions reductions above the originally anticipated
levels. Based on the success of this demonstration program, we are currently
moving the Xtrm Cat(TM) through the EPA Certification program with the
expectation of the technology culminating to a full product Certification in the
4th quarter.

In order to meet the retrofits industry's growing demand for technology based on
the ever expanding CARB/EPA regulations; the Company made the strategic decision
to engage with a major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's)
components/systems manufacturer combining our Therma Cat(TM) with their OEM
based Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) reduction system. In order to meet the upcoming
regulations for NOx reductions in the retrofit market, a combination of
Particulate Matter (PM) and NOx reductions in one system will be required. Our
Therma Cat(TM) was chosen by our new partner as the technology of choice based
on the wide demographic of engine applications we achieved in our CARB
Verifications and the Therma Cat's(TM) diversity. We are currently working
towards the launch of a number of high profile demonstrations with CARB of the
combined systems, and are looking forward to announcing the relationship and the
success of this program in the future.

We have seen a substantial increase in our distributor network in the past
months across North America. We started the first quarter of this year with 17
distributors and are currently signing on the average of two new distributors a
month as the success of the Company's products gain customer acceptance. As of
today, we have a total of 36 independent contracted distributors with over 230
individual locations. All of the distributors have been trained and certified to
install our products on their customer's vehicles and construction equipment. We
believe the growing success of our distribution network is based on the
proficiency and stature of the companies joining the program.

The first quarter 2010 was in line with our expectations as production capacity
was being expanded to facilitate the expected sales volume. Over this period,
the Company addressed the lack of working capital to run sales up to meet
customer demand. To this end, we raised $3m in a private placement and
simultaneously arranged a $4m rolling credit line with the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce (CIBC) backed by Export Development Canada (EDC). The Company
is also taking the necessary proactive steps to support any future sales of
significant single orders with the support of the CIBC and EDC over and above
the current operating credit line. Subsequent to these events, all debenture
holders have converted their debt into equity reducing ESW balance sheet debt.

I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and
patience as we have transitioned from a research/Intellectual Property (IP)
company into a manufacturing company that has an exciting future in the diesel
emissions retrofit market. To this end, I am delighted to report that Q2 2010 is
expected to be cash flow positive, and I anticipate continued performance
improvement in the second half of the year.

It is our view that ESW is in a unique position in the catalytic conversion
market. Our CARB/EPA recognized test facility located in Pennsylvania remains at
the forefront of the development and improvement of emission reduction
technologies and will continue to be a meaningful entity in the Company. Our
testing facility has begun to attract a number of OEM's requiring engine,
emissions and vehicle testing for CARB/EPA certifications, as well as research
and development projects. In Toronto our manufacturing facility is being
positioned to accommodate increased annualized production in excess of $75m
before we need to expand production capacity.

It is at this stage that I would like to address shareholder value. We believe
that the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB) no longer meets the
requirement of our shareholders and our growing international Company and is a
barrier to new entrants who would like to participate in our future growth but
will not invest on this platform. The Company's management and Board of
Directors are presently doing the necessary due diligence of investigating the
options to list ESW on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and or the American
Stock Exchange (AMEX). It is our expectation that this move will help to
facilitate a much broader shareholder audience as well as open the Company to
participation by investment funds.

In January of 2010, we were delighted to announce the appointment of our new
Chairman Mr. Elbert O. Hand, who brings to the Board a wealth of corporate
knowledge. Furthermore, Mr. Hand brings experience in the 'Big Board' public
arena that we believe is required at this stage of our development.

The Board has also taken the step of appointing Cameron Associates to manage our
investor and public relations. This New York based group comes with the highest
recommendations. Based on anticipated growth, we believe the Company has reached
the appropriate juncture to have a professional communication adviser with reach
into new investment markets and to keep the shareholders up to date with
significant developments. As an integral part of our communication strategy, we
have been hard at work creating a new updated website. This new website is
intended not only showcase the Company's products and services but also to
provide a portal of information for investor news and market dynamics. The new
website, which is expected to launch in the 3rd quarter, is being designed to
give our growing distributors the ability to virtually build and order the
products online speeding up the order to delivery process.

Our technology has the potential for global reach and in further announcements I
expect to clarify our plans to develop markets outside North America with
strategic alliances. In summary, we believe ESW is in a world leadership
technology position in the diesel emissions retrofit market with applications
onto a vast cross section of engines and platforms. This is a
multibillion-dollar industry; and we project that over the next few years the
Company will be able to achieve significant inroads into this growth area where
emission regulations and enforcement is on most governments' agendas.

Again thank you for your patience and support.
