(www.perfgogreen.com) ("Perf Go Green") (OTCBB:PGOG), the leader in biodegradable plastic products and everyday green solutions, today announced that Steven Stark has been named General Manager of the newly formed Green Electronics Division that has launched PerfPower(tm) Alkaline Batteries containing 0% lead, 0% mercury, and 0% cadmium. PerfPower(tm) high-performance batteries and packaging materials are recyclable and are made with recycled materials. Perf Go Green offers the first totally free recycling program for PerfPower(tm) Batteries and encourages consumers to recycle the packaging and batteries through www.irecycled.com.

Stark will provide strong direction and leadership to our new division," says Perf Go Green Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy.
