Nature Of Business and Going Concern [Abstract]
NATURE OF BUSINESS	NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
	Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company” or “ESW”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of diesel emissions control technologies. ESW also provides emissions testing and environmental certification services with its primary focus on the North American on-road and off-road diesel and natural gas engines, chassis and after-treatment market. ESW currently manufactures and markets a line of emission control technologies for a number of applications focused on the medium and heavy duty diesel (“MHDD”) market.
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $42,205,040 and had cash and cash equivalents of $8,306,428.  Based on cash and cash equivalents, anticipated revenues and spending levels, the Company estimates that it has sufficient cash resources to meet its anticipated net cash needs through the next twelve months.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ESW America Inc. (“ESWA”), ESW Technologies Inc. (“ESWT”), ESW Canada Inc. (“ESWC”), ESW CleanTech Inc. (“ESWCT”) and Technology Fabricators Inc. (“TFI”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
	REVERSE STOCK-SPLIT
	On May 24, 2013, ESW affected a one-for-two thousand reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result all outstanding common stock, and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock-split for all periods presented. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a decrease to the outstanding shares on a post-split basis. In lieu of fractional shares, holders were paid cash equal to the number of shares of common stock held by any such holder immediately prior to the reverse stock split that were not combined into whole shares, multiplied by the fair market value of one pre-reverse stock split share.  In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company paid holders cash in aggregate of $51,516.
	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, the valuation of the stock-based compensation, conversion option derivative liability, warranty provisions and deferred taxes.
	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
	The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $62,470 and $250,862 was appropriate as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company wrote off $250,862 (December 31, 2013 - $0). The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company records expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10-10, "Compensation — Stock Compensation," and related Interpretations. Disclosures required with respect to the fair value measurement and recognition methods prescribed are presented in Note 12.
	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
	The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates apply.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between 5 to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
	The Company follows the ASC Topic 360, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future discounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use of ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss represented by the difference between its fair value and carrying value, is recognized. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell.
	PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
	Patents and trademarks are measured at the cost incurred to acquire them from an independent third party (see Note 4). Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the ASC requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
	Patents and trademarks were acquired as part of the Cleaire asset acquisition (Note 4) and were being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Amortization expense was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 - $4,200).
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	The loan payable is measured using Level 2 inputs; the interest rate on this loan approximates a market rate based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
	Our conversion option derivative liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is measured using Level 3 inputs.
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
	The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
	Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
	The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
	The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its diesel emission control products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 2.9% and 3.6% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
	EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
	Income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted income per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $353,662 and $121,259 are included in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $110,753 and $97,091, which are included in cost of revenues for year ended December 31, 2014 and in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as an operating expense as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures.
	For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $689,163 and $692,431, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $0 and $40,946, respectively.
	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
	The functional currency of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement. Gains and losses recognized upon such translations are included within foreign exchange (gain) / loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income / (loss).
	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and 4% of revenue for off-road products.
	SEGMENT REPORTING
	ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ESW operates in two reportable segments; medium and heavy duty diesel emission control operations and air testing services (see Note 15). ESW’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Executive Chairman.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	NOTE 3 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	“Income Taxes (ASC Topic - 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”) was issued during July 2013. FASB issued guidance on how to present an unrecognized tax benefit. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASC No. 2014-08 (Topic 205 and Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASC update modifies the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This update also requires additional financial statement disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The updated guidance is effective prospectively for years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company expects that the adoption of the accounting pronouncement will not materially affect its financial position or results of operations.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and apply to all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also addresses the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as real estate, property and equipment. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2017 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance related to the recognition of share-based compensation when an award provides that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period.  This guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ASSET ACQUISITION	NOTE 4 – ASSET ACQUISITION
	On April 18, 2013, ESW through a new-wholly owned subsidiary ESWCT, completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated April 1, 2013 with David P. Stapleton (the “Receiver”), as the receiver for Cleaire, a Delaware limited liability company.  Prior to shutdown of its operations in January 2013, Cleaire was engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of emission control systems for on-road and off-road diesel engines. Subject to the terms and conditions of the asset purchase agreement, the Company was selected as (and agreed to act as) the “stalking horse bidder” to buy certain of Cleaire’s assets for a purchase price of $1.4 million plus a portion of gross profit realized on a certain purchase order. The purchased assets included inventory, machinery and equipment and patents and trademarks.
	Upon the completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement and in accordance with FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, the Company determined that the above noted Asset Purchase Agreement transaction does not constitute a business combination, and accordingly has accounted for it as an asset acquisition. The total consideration paid was $1.4 million in cash, plus a portion of gross profit realized on a certain purchase order.
	The purchase price allocation was allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired at the asset acquisition date:
	Assets acquired		18-Apr-13
	Inventory	$	1,260,000
	Machinery and equipment		98,000
	Patents and trademarks		42,000
		$	1,400,000
	Effective December 31, 2013 the Company performed an annual impairment test of Patents and trademarks and concluded that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets are less than their carrying amounts. Patents and Trademarks were impaired and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $37,800 (net of amortization) that reduced the carrying value of these assets to zero.

	On April 25, 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary ESWA entered into the MELF Facility with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for up to $500,000 for the purchase of equipment and related purchases. Two (2) draw-downs were permitted under the MELF Facility by ESWA. The first draw-down of $280,787 was made under the MELF Facility in connection with equipment purchased by ESWA on April 25, 2012 (the “Closing Date”). ESWA made one (1) additional draw-down of $219,213 on November 13, 2012 per the terms of the MELF Facility so that the aggregate amount borrowed under the MELF Facility amounts to $500,000. Terms of the MELF Facility include initial interest at three (3%) percent per annum with monthly payments and full repayment of the MELF Facility on or before the first day of the eighty fifth (85) calendar month following the Closing Date. As part of the loan agreement, within three years from the Closing Date ESWA is required to create, or retain, at its current location a certain number of jobs that is specified in the loan application. A breach by ESWA in the creation or maintenance of these jobs shall be considered an event of default under the MELF Facility. In the event ESWA defaults on any payments, the MELF Facility may be accelerated with full payment due along with certain additional modifications including the increase in interest to twelve and one half (12 1/2%) percent. The loan is secured by certain property and equipment and a corporate guarantee of the Company.
	As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the loan payable (current and long-term) amounted to $333,185 and $404,207, respectively.

Senior Notes [Abstract]
SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES	NOTE 9 – SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
	On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note subscription agreement and a security agreement (the “Agreements”) and issued senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “March 2013 Notes”) to four accredited investors who are currently shareholders (the “Holders”) and may be deemed affiliates of the Company (Note 13). Pursuant to the Agreements and the March 2013 Notes, the Holders made initial loans of $1,400,000 to the Company.
	On April 23, 2013 and June 27, 2013, the Company issued additional Notes in the principal amount of $1,600,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, to the Holders pursuant to the Agreements (together with the March 2013 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The Existing Notes mature on March 22, 2018. The Existing Notes are a part of a senior secured convertible loan facility of up to $5,000,000 which is now fully drawn down.
	The Existing Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded quarterly. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash and at the Company’s election, during the term of the Existing Notes, up to two accrued and unpaid semi-annual interest payments can be payable in the Company’s common stock valued at the lesser of $80 per share, subject to adjustment (“Conversion Price”), or the market value of the Company’s common stock, with interest payments commencing September 30, 2013.
	At the option of the Holders, all principal, and interest amounts outstanding under all of the Notes (as defined below) may be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company at any time, while the Notes are outstanding, issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. The anti-dilution protection excludes shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other securities granted to directors, officers, bona fide consultants and employees of the Company issued pursuant to a Board approved option or incentive plan or stock, warrants or other securities issued to a bank or other financial institution.
	The Notes are secured by a lien on and a security interest in all assets of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company: TFI, ESWCT, ESWA and ESWT, excluding certain collateral subject to pre-existing liens.
	Effective October 1, 2013 the Company elected to pay and paid interest on the Existing Notes in the form of common stock, as per the terms of the Existing Notes. The Company issued 8,000 shares as interest payment to four note holders for interest accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaling $200,000. The conversion price of the shares was $25 for the interest payment, which was based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of payment (determined by calculating the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding such date). The Company further agreed to conduct a rights offering to all of its holders of common stock, offering the right to purchase up to their pro-rata Company ownership amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes substantially similar to the Existing Notes.
	On February 12, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a Form S-1 Registration Statement under the Securities Act Of 1933 originally filed by the Company on December 23, 2013 (“Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the subscription rights offering to existing Company shareholders that the Company agreed to conduct in connection with the 2013 issuance of senior secured convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. The Registration Statement registers an aggregate of $4,596,929 new 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes” and, together with the Existing Notes, the “Notes”) as well as potential 152,899 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and, if applicable, as payment of interest on the Notes by the Company. In March, 2014, the Company filed a form 424B3 with the Securities And Exchange Commission (the “prospectus”) and commenced the rights offering by mailing the prospectus and related documents to the Company’s shareholders of record as of February 13, 2014. The rights offering was completed on May 9, 2014, and on May 23, 2014 the Company issued New Notes, in the principal amount of $122,486, to the shareholders that participated in the rights offering. The New Notes mature on March 22, 2018.
	Effective April 1, 2014, the Company elected to pay and paid interest on the Existing Notes in the form of common stock, as per the terms of the Notes. The Company issued 5,126 shares as interest payment to the holders of the Existing Notes for interest accrued up to March 31, 2014 totaling $256,300. The conversion price of the shares was $50 for the interest payment, which was based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of payment (determined by calculating the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding such date). Per the terms of the Notes, up to two interest payments could be paid in the Company’s common stock. The Company has used both options to pay interest in the form of the Company’s common stock, future interest payments on the Notes will be paid in cash.
	On March 22, 2013, April 23, 2013, June 27, 2013 and May 23, 2014, the Company recorded a discount on the Notes equal to the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability (Note 10). This discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method at an interest rate of 9.6%, 17.3% and 38.3% for the March 22, April 23 and June 27, 2013 Notes, respectively, over the term of the Notes. The May 23, 2014 Notes were discounted on recognition by $56,639 and the discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method at a rate of 16.5% over the term of the Note.

CONVERSION_OPTION_DERIVATIVE_L

CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Derivative Liability [Abstract]
CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY	NOTE 10 – CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
	The Company’s Notes are subject to anti-dilution adjustments (the “conversion option”) that provide for reductions in the Conversion Price in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock (with certain exceptions) for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. Simultaneously with any reduction to the Conversion Price, the number of shares of common stock that may be converted increases proportionately. The Company accounted for the conversion option in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”), under which the conversion option meets the definition of a derivative instrument and, since it is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock, is treated as a derivative liability.
	This conversion option derivative liability was measured at fair value on the dates of issue and at December 31, 2014 using a binomial lattice model, with changes in the fair value charged or credited, as applicable, to income.
	Since the Conversion Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Conversion Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculation.
	The inputs into the binomial lattice model are as follows:
		March 22,	April 23,	June 27,	December 31,	May 23,	December 31,
		2013	2013	2013	2013	2014	2014

	Risk free rate	0.80%	0.71%	1.38%	1.75%	1.17%	1.10%
	Expected volatility	110%	126%	114%	117%	125%	149%
	Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%
	Expected life	5 years	4.92 years	4.75 years	4.25 years	3.92 years	3.27 years
	The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability, as determined using the binomial lattice model, was $2,770,340 at December 31, 2014 and $1,131,745 at December 31, 2013. The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $1,581,957 was primarily due to an increase in the price of our common stock and high expected volatility, and was recorded as a loss in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $1,947,357 was recorded as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2013.

	Income taxes are provided based on the liability method, which results in income tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on current and accumulated deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than- not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
	The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total amounts of recognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. In many cases the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2014.

	On March 20, 2013, the Company received the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a proposal to approve and adopt the Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. 2013 Stock Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”). The 2013 Stock Plan replaces the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, which replaced the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan.  While previously granted awards under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan will remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the individual awards, the 2013 Stock Plan will replace the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan for future grants.
	The 2013 Stock Plan authorizes the granting of awards to employees (including officers) and directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of any combination of non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), incentive stock options (“ISOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance shares and share units, other stock-based awards in the Committee’s discretion, and dividend equivalent rights (collectively, “Awards”). Under the Plan, the Company may deliver authorized but unissued shares of common stock, treasury shares of common stock, and shares of common stock acquired by the Company for the purposes of the Plan.  Each Award will be evidenced by an agreement between the recipient and the Company setting forth the terms of the Award, as determined by the Committee.  A maximum of 20,000 shares of common stock will be available for grants pursuant to Awards under the Plan.  The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which any individual may be granted Options or Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year is 2,500 shares.
	The 2013 Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee has authority, subject to ratification by the Board, to interpret the 2013 Stock Plan, adopt administrative regulations, determine the recipients of Awards, and determine and amend the terms of Awards.
	Shares of restricted common stock issued were valued at the quoted market price on the dates of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $229,026 and $292,689, respectively, has been recorded in officers’ compensation and directors’ fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for shares to be issued related to restricted stock grants and the fair value of the vested portion of each grant of restricted common stock.

	LEGAL MATTERS
	There are currently no pending legal proceedings against the Company.
	From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, ESW believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on ESW because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
	WARRANTY PROVISIONS
	The Company is also exposed to warranty contingencies associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat and to the assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field. In 2013, ESW had estimated a one-time charge of $1,000,000 related to its assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field and a one-time warranty charge of $504,900 associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat. The actual amount of loss associated with such assumption of warranties and/or verification procedures, however, could be materially different.  Both of these warranty charges are based on the estimated number of operational units, average remaining warranty life and cost of warrantable failure. These amounts, as well as the on-road and off-road warranty provision have been included in the warranty provision of $1,561,293 as of December 31, 2014 on the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2013 - $1,723,769).
	For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the total warranty costs included in cost of revenue was $470,187 and $1,827,620, respectively.

As a result all outstanding common stock, and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock-split for all periods presented. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a decrease to the outstanding shares on a post-split basis. In lieu of fractional shares, holders were paid cash equal to the number of shares of common stock held by any such holder immediately prior to the reverse stock split that were not combined into whole shares, multiplied by the fair market value of one pre-reverse stock split share.  In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company paid holders cash in aggregate of $51,516.
ESTIMATES	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, the valuation of the stock-based compensation, conversion option derivative liability, warranty provisions and deferred taxes.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
	The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $62,470 and $250,862 was appropriate as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company wrote off $250,862 (December 31, 2013 - $0). The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company records expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10-10, "Compensation — Stock Compensation," and related Interpretations. Disclosures required with respect to the fair value measurement and recognition methods prescribed are presented in Note 12.
INVENTORY	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
	The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates apply.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between 5 to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
	The Company follows the ASC Topic 360, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future discounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use of ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss represented by the difference between its fair value and carrying value, is recognized. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS	PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
	Patents and trademarks are measured at the cost incurred to acquire them from an independent third party (see Note 4). Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the ASC requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
	Patents and trademarks were acquired as part of the Cleaire asset acquisition (Note 4) and were being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Amortization expense was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 - $4,200).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	The loan payable is measured using Level 2 inputs; the interest rate on this loan approximates a market rate based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
	Our conversion option derivative liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is measured using Level 3 inputs.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
	The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
	Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
	The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
	The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
REVENUE RECOGNITION	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its diesel emission control products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 2.9% and 3.6% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK	EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
	Income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted income per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $353,662 and $121,259 are included in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $110,753 and $97,091, which are included in cost of revenues for year ended December 31, 2014 and in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as an operating expense as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures.
	For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $689,163 and $692,431, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $0 and $40,946, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
	The functional currency of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement. Gains and losses recognized upon such translations are included within foreign exchange (gain) / loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income / (loss).
PRODUCT WARRANTIES	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and 4% of revenue for off-road products.
SEGMENT REPORTING	SEGMENT REPORTING
	ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ESW operates in two reportable segments; medium and heavy duty diesel emission control operations and air testing services (see Note 15). ESW’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Executive Chairman.
