Press Release Summary: PaceButler Corporation, a major player in the cell phone
recycling industry unveiled today the company\'s plan to integrate their marketing
and promotions activities with those of other recycling and environment initiatives.
PaceButler will actively seek to establish alliances with recyclers in other
industries and environmental advocacy groups while continuing to work with its major
partners in the industry and the charitable organizations.

Press Release Body: Oklahoma City, OK - April 21, 2008 - PaceButler Corporation, a
major player in the cell phone recycling industry based in Edmond, OK announced
today the company\'s plan to integrate it\'s marketing operations with those of
recyclers coming from other industries and with organizations and local communities
advocating for waste reduction and environmental protection.

\"This is one solid vote for the environment,\" says Michael Arms, spokesperson for
PaceButler Corporation. \"We have contributed significantly to the cell phone
recycling industry since we entered the business in 2002. We will continue to do so,
working with our partner companies and charities.\"

In the US, an estimated 130 million units of cell phones go out of use annually and
most will end up as part of the 70,000 tons of cell phone garbage dumped into our
landfills and dumpsites. Only a small percentage, about 8%, are recycled.

\"We intend to double our collection rate in 2008, by reaching more communities in
our effort to help educate the public in the benefits of cell phone recycling,\" says
Arms, who also heads the IT Division of the Edmond firm.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that if Americans are able to
recycle all the 100 million cell phones discarded last year, we would save enough
energy to power more than 194,000 US households with electricity for one year.

\"It\'s a drop in the bucket, there\'s so much opportunity ahead, and we all must do
our share,\" continues Arms. \"This year we will work with all groups and individuals
who are advocating for increased recycling and environmental protection.\"

The company through a planned blog segment in it\'s website and through outreach
initiatives now embarks on a strategic plan to develop its own network/community
primarily to help spread awareness about recycling and current environmental
challenges.

\"It\'s predominantly an information-dissemination and community-building campaign and
for the most part internet-based, since more and more people use the web to find
networks and groups with similar agenda. Working with others in this advocacy will
definitely bring about more positive results,\" Arms concluded. \"This is but a
natural offshoot of the way we do business - every day at PaceButler is Earth Day.\"

PaceButler Corporation was founded in 1987 by current president and CEO, Tom Pace,
and has now grown into a multi-million dollar business. Since 2002, it has focused
in providing cell phone recycling solutions to over 70,000 businesses partners,
individuals and non-profit organizations.
