That being said before:

   a-  Cesmet is a firm qualified for technical and commercial factory
       consulting. It works also in international market directly or with

       document), to develop a general program of partnership, now named "GPDP"
       (General Plastic Developmental Program) finalized to import in Italy,
       and from Italy also all over Europe, some of technologies, machines and
       equipments (most of wich is patented by US companies). The primary field
       of action is on recycling and riusing plastic materials coming from the
       urban waste stream.

   c-  "GPDP" was a very interesting enterprise for the above people with
       different operated purpose. Each of them has references for GPDP's
       growth strategic contribution and for subscribing this summary agreement

       company. These licences could be leaving to other firms only if reliable
       requirements and a due market will be exist. US Companies must also

                                     GPDP
                      General plastic development program
                                  Description

The GPDP is an integral recovery, recycling and industrial reuse system that
allows the recovery of high percentages of the plastic at today present on the
market.

It is realized thanks to the coordinated actions of different operative
enterprises, all of them associated in one only commercial and centralized
structure (First Level Company). Institutions, government or regional but
operative structure as well, can be partners of this kind of associated
structure, depending on the law on environmental matters effective in the
country of interest.

The ideal GPDP can be realized at this conditions:

   -   existence of rules and laws obliging and controlling plastic recovery
       and production, on one hand, and, on the other hand, charging the
       plastic producers (reducing taxes when the producers demonstrate that
       the plastic is then recovered) and giving contributes to whom recovers
       it.

   -   existence of private enterprises that can cover the entire area of one
       country with their activity, and their ability in subscribing general
       and productive agreements with plastic producers or consumers (petrol
       companies, commercial and distribution structures, agricultural
       association{ellipsis})

   -   existence and availability of complementary technologies (for the
       recovery, sanitization and manufacturing. Second Level Companies)
       allowing the introduction on the market of products with high value
       added.

In case of existence of the above conditions the GPDP can be realized following
these progressive stages:

   -   definition of the general program and agreements with institutions

   -   subscription of agreements between the associated structure, or the
       single operators, and plastic producers or consumers

   -   agreements for the sale of the plastic with the final manufacturers

ITec can assist the interested subjects in the definition and realization of
the above-mentioned conditions and stages, and in the direct provision of the
necessary technology. Technology necessary both to the recovery operators and
to some of the final manufacturers (production of pallets, bins, container
parts etc.).

ITec makes its profit by:

   -   selling the machinery to recovery operators and manufacturers

   -   providing the technical, commercial and training assistance to the
       recovery operators rather than bigger structure like ESSO, for example

   -   realizing profits on the sale of the plastic, of course just in case of
       its participation to the association. Itec is not involved in the
       recovery stage because Eco2 users take care of it, or other operators,
       external to the GPDP, depending on the social politics and organization
       of the countries of reference (in Yugoslavia the waste recovery depends
       on the University, Safety Occupation Faculty; in Bulgaria depends on the
       no profit organization)

<PAGE>
The best conditions for ITec to start the GPDP in a foreign country are:

   -   subscription of agreements with big plastic producers (Esso in Hungary,
       Agip and Ip in Italy) to supply the GPDP with a huge quantity of plastic
       to be recycled

   -   subscription of purchase orders for the machinery with private
       enterprises

   -   organization of promotional campaign with local governments or
       environmental agencies.

In case one area requires the intervention of more than one operator, is the
operator itself, associated in the First Level Company, that requires the
intervention of a third operator not part of the association (Third Level
Companies).

The ideal running of the GPDP supposes:

   -   many Third Level Companies in charge of the plastic recovery, directly
       connected to the Second Level Company

   -   three Second Level Companies, or more: one for the treatment, and two,
       or more, for the manufacturing (one for HDPE and one for PET)

   -   one only association, First Level Company, controlling the entire
       organization and providing that the plastic not sold on site can be sold
       abroad

With reference to Italy, and to the European Union in general, the government
funds for the recovery program will be destined to the Second Level Companies,
while the tax reductions will be destined to plastic producers.

Itec will only earn in percentage on this funds.
