Auto Parts Become Fuel of the Future in World's First Emission-Free Recycling Machine

Gershow Recycling, one of the world's largest recyclers, is first
to purchase and implement HAWK 10, a self-sufficient,
environmentally friendly auto scrap recycler from Global Resource
Corporation that reduces waste, cuts emissions, and saves energy by
going green WEST BERLIN, N.J., May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Global Resource Corporation (OTC:GBRC) announced today that Gershow
Recycling, one of the world's largest recyclers, has agreed to
receive the world's first 100 percent emission- and pollutant-free
green recycling machine for auto shredder residue (ASR). Global
Resource will supply Gershow with its proprietary technology to
reduce landfill waste by approximately 65%, recover extra metal for
profit, and the process will generate virtually no emissions linked
to global warming. The revolutionary ASR conversion machine, the
HAWK 10, was invented by Global Resource Corporation. The
cutting-edge system uses high microwave frequencies to convert
"autofluff" -- textiles, foams, plastics, rubber, and light metal
content extracted from cars -- into oil and gas. This process
significantly reduces the amount of waste that Gershow will send to
landfills, and it is conducted in a closed-loop system that
eliminates pollutants. "Imagine running a major industrial process
like recycling with negligible fuel costs and zero emissions," says
Kevin Gershowitz, Executive Vice President of Gershow Recycling.
"It seems like the stuff of science fiction, but it's real, it's
proven, and it's available right now to companies like Gershow who
grasp the importance of fighting global warming. Recyclers are only
part of the solution. We too must strive for the same efficiencies
and green production processes that challenge industries
everywhere. Our agreement to acquire Global Resource Corp.'s HAWK
10 is a major step forward toward deploying processes that make
sound business and environmental sense." Located on Long Island,
N.Y., Gershow Recycling collects and processes ferrous metals,
non-ferrous metals, and paper products from scrap suppliers, and
turns them into high quality scrap products. A high percentage of
Gershow's scrap comes from automobiles. Obsolete automobiles are
the most recycled high-volume consumer product in the US. The scrap
industry recovers about 18 million tons per year of ferrous scrap,
mostly from shredded automobiles. The HAWK 10 will allow Gershow to
scrap more metal from materials that were difficult to separate in
the past, allowing them to reduce waste by 65%. For each ton of
steel that is recovered, between 500 - 700 pounds of automobile
shredder residue (ASR) is produced. ASR contains plastics, rubber,
wood, paper, fabrics, glass, sand, dirt, ferrous and non-ferrous
metal pieces. The current ASR disposal technology is land filling.
When ASR is landfilled, many high-priced materials with significant
embodied energy are lost. This loss, combined with the cost of
landfilling, more stringent regulations and shrinking landfill
space require new alternatives for ASR. Global Resource Corp.'s
HAWK 10 eliminates these costs and environmental hazards by
breaking down the autofluff with its patent-pending high-frequency
microwave technology. The microwaves gasify the materials -- a
process also known as "cracking the hydrocarbon chain" -- and
convert them into 80 percent light combustible gases, and 20
percent oil. The gas is then cycled in a closed-loop system to fuel
the next round of material breakdown, without emitting any harmful
waste. The alternative renewable energy system delivers sizable
savings in four ways: -- Combustible gases and fluids to energy --
Approximately 65% reduction of land fill tipping fee -- Additional
metallic material captured -- Alternative energy tax credits "We
expect Gershow Recycling to capture a full return on their
investment within one year of use, thanks to HAWK 10's incredible
efficiency, and its ability to lower expenses and recover profit,"
says Frank Pringle, CEO of Global Resource Corp. "Gershow's
agreement to implement the HAWK 10 is an excellent example of their
forward-thinking, tech-savvy approach to recycling -- one its
entire industry should emulate to fight global warming. We're on
the cusp of an energy revolution in our country, and alternative
energy technology such as ours offers a clear way to cheaper,
cleaner fuel, and higher profits." ABOUT Global Resource Corp.
Global Resource Corp. has a patent pending process that allows for
removal of oil and alternative petroleum products at very low cost
from various resources, including shale deposits, tar sands, waste
oil streams and bituminous coal with significantly greater yields
and lower costs than are available utilizing existing known
technologies. The process uses specific frequencies of microwave
radiation to extract oils and alternative petroleum products from
secondary raw materials, and is expected to dramatically reduce the
cost for oil and gas recovery from a variety of unconventional
hydrocarbon resources. GBRC's technology will not only be developed
to extract oil from shale, but from depleted oil fields in the US
and elsewhere, many of which still contain more than half of the
hydrocarbons originally in these fields, because the residual
hydrocarbons are too viscous to extract with conventional
technology. This news release contains forward-looking statements
