About Perf Go Green

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:PGOG), www.perfgogreen.com, is engaged in the distribution and global marketing of eco-friendly, non-toxic, food-contact-compliant, biodegradable plastic products. All Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an oxo-biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for the products. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the oxo-biodegradable applied to our products, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade within two years, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, Perf Go Green effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time, similar to a tissue box.
