MOUNT LAUREL, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 08/27/10 -- Global Resource Corporation (PINKSHEETS: GBRC), a developer of patented energy-efficient microwave-based technologies for recycling tires, upgrading petroleum products and converting other materials to higher value hydrocarbon-based fuels or carbon materials, obtained outstanding results from Professional Analytical and Consulting Services (PACS) on producing high quality Activated Carbon that is, according to PACS, 97% identical to the largest Activated Carbon manufactured materials. PACS is an industrial leading, independent laboratory and consulting services company, providing state of the art testing and data quality validation in the activated carbon market. The company is headquartered in Coraopolis, PA.

Activated Carbon is used in mercury vapor removal for electric power generation, gas purification, metal extraction, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment, air filters and many other applications. It is a much more valuable commodity than used tire derived carbon black and a true green commodity. World demand for virgin Activated Carbon is forecast to expand an impressive 9.0 percent per annum through 2014 to 1.7 million metric tons or 3.7 billion pounds. Its value ranges from $1.15 - $3.00 per pound.

For the above reasons, GBRC shall now focus its technology to produce Activated Carbon from its tire plants and work with GTI (www.gti-e.com), an environmental services and recycling company with over 20 years of industry experience to market/sell all of the Activated Carbon by-product produced. In addition to developing markets for GBRC's Activated Carbon by-products, GTI will play a major part in assisting GBRC with identifying key end users for GBRC's patented microwave technology. This development now allows GBRC and GTI to focus on the Activated Carbon market and although carbon black can still be produced, it is intended that Activated Carbon shall become the major focus of tire extraction for the aforementioned reasons and for the outstanding benefits that can be derived.
