Aflac Goes Green With Totally Green's ORCA Green Machine

Totally Green, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TLGN), a
pioneer in organic food processing systems and compostable
packaging alternatives, reports another successful test pilot of
its revolutionary ORCA Green™ Machine with Aflac, Inc. (NYSE: AFL),
the nation's number one provider of supplemental insurance.
Aflac purchased the Green Machine for a corporate kitchen at the
company's headquarters in Columbus, Georgia. By establishing an
effective means for rapid, on-site food composting, Aflac expects
to divert as much as 60,000 pounds of food waste per year with the
help of the ORCA. The installation reflects Aflac's SmartGreen®
philosophy, including its goal to reduce 75% of the solid waste it
sends to landfills.
When Aflac purchased the ORCA Green food digester about four
months ago, it joined more than 45 institutional, commercial and
government organizations across the country operating the machine
in their kitchens and food processing plants. Using microbial
enzyme activity to break down the waste, the ORCA Green Machine can
reduce up to 2,400 pounds of food waste daily, turning it into a
nutrient-rich liquid similar to 'compost tea.' This liquid can be
used for irrigation or flushed into the sewer system rather than
filling landfills at great expense, both economically and
environmentally. Besides the increasing cost of traditional garbage
disposal, the organic waste decomposing in landfills is one of the
greatest producers of methane gas, and other air pollutants.
"Since we have always prided ourselves on being good corporate
citizens, environmental issues have always been important to
Aflac," said Rob Holleman, Aflac's facilities maintenance
construction director. "The ORCA Green Machine is a way to extend
and expand our efforts to be a better partner, not only for our
shareholders and policyholders, but also for the environment. We
are very pleased that the ORCA Green Machine helps us improve our
overall footprint."
Nate Baker, president of Totally Green, commented: "Aflac
represents another strong validation of our ORCA Green technology
by another major corporation. Like Costco, Lowes, Whole Foods,
Royal Caribbean, Morgan Stanley, and a number of federal agencies,
including the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and GSA, Aflac looks to
us to help them advance their sustainability initiatives and reduce
their carbon footprint. They are a shining example of responsible
corporate planetary stewardship that all should follow, and it
comes as no surprise Aflac was recently ranked by Fortune as one of
the World's Most Admired Companies."
Video interviews with Aflac's operations team and demonstration
of their ORCA Green Machine are available here or in the investor
relations section of Totally Green's website.
