Concord, ON.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-October 20th, 2008. Environmental Solutions
Worldwide Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced
today that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada Inc. (ESWC) has
received orders for its proprietary (3.)Level III diesel catalyst branded
ThermaCat(TM) from International Truck and Engine's "Green Diesel Technology"
division.

The ThermaCat(TM) active Level III catalyst systems, manufactured by ESWC, were
delivered in the first week of October and installed on school buses in South
Georgia fleet. The ThermaCat's(TM) were engineered to be a complete bolt on
retrofit kit designed to replace the buses' existing mufflers.

The ThermaCat(TM) is engineered to reduce the highest level of Particulate
Matter (PM) while operating in low temperature applications such as school buses
and waste truck haulers. The ThermaCat(TM) is currently in the government `on
and offroad' verification process with the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As an important part of the
verification process, units have been installed on several applications and have
logged thousands of accumulative durability hours.

Mr. David J. Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, "We are very excited to
see the first sale and installation of ThermaCat's(TM) into the school bus
community. Due to the low temperature operating conditions required for the use
of the ThermaCat(TM), we believe it has the potential to be sold into the
largest demographic of these types of applications."
