NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Feb. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JBI,
Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB:
JBII) is pleased to announce that on February 12, 2010, JBI
consummated an Area Development Agreement (ADA) for 45 P2O sites in
the State of Florida with a newly formed entity (AS PTO, LLC)
controlled by Al Sousa of Largo, Florida.
Mr. Sousa is a seasoned executive with extensive business
experience in both the public and private sectors and has been

financing and governmental affairs.

About JBI, Inc.
JBI, Inc. is transitioning to become a global technology leader
whose purpose is to mine data from JBI's large information archive,
find under-productive entities to inject our superior proprietary
technologies into, and benefit from increased productivity and
profitability, beginning with Plastic2Oil. JBI has also acquired
the following operations:
JAVACO, Inc. ("Javaco") is part of the Supplier Diversity
Network, WBENC. JAVACO, Inc. currently distributes over 100 lines
of equipment from fiber optic transmitters to RF connectors. To
further enhance business in the United States, new distribution
lines are frequently being added including a line of home theater
and audio video products. Javaco will operate and manage the
Company's Plastic2Oil sites in Mexico.
Pak-It, LLC ("Pak-It"): Using the patented Pak-It(TM) delivery
system (liquid cleaner in a water soluble sachet) Pak-It can
deliver glass cleaner, disinfectant, multi-purpose, and many more
cleaning products (42 products currently) shipped in tiny packages
of condensed cleaner (inside a 'dry' 1 quart container). This
delivery method is "green" since it's fully biodegradable and saves
thousands of dollars in shipping. The user simply adds water to the
container without measuring or cutting the Pak-It. Large retailers
and many national Building Service Contractors already using the
product have documented significant cost savings from shipping,
training, inventory control and space.
Accordingly, our revenue sources presently include (i) income
from reading archived tapes (including microfiche) from clients
such as NASA, (ii) income from the recently acquired JAVACO, Inc.,
(iii) income from the sale of Pak-It products, and bulk chemical
facility which we realize beginning October 1, 2009, and (iv) from
the anticipated commencement of operations in the first quarter of
2010 with Plastic2Oil, a process and service that converts plastic
to fuel oil. For more information, please see http://www.jbiglobal.com, http://www.javacoinc.com and http://www.pakit.com/.
