PROJECT SUMMARY
LEVGUM LTD. is an environmental technology company specializing
in rubber de-vulcanization. The Company has developed the world's
leading rubber de-vulcanization technology, turning rubber
recycling into a commercially viable, environmentally clean
enterprise.

Globally, over 1 billion tires reach the end of their life each
year and are dumped in already overflowing stockpiles and illegal
landfills. And this composes only 55% of the rubber waste
problem. This waste rubber is not biodegradable, is dangerously
combustible, and wreaks havoc on the environment.

LEVGUM's innovative new process involves breaking down the sulfur
links that are crossed between rubber polymer chains in
vulcanized rubber. This enables waste rubber to be re-used, while
retaining most of the properties and characteristics of the
original rubber. As a result of LEVGUM's novel technology
produces de-vulcanized rubber compound (DRC), which offers, for
the first time, high-quality recycled rubber that can replace
virgin rubber compounds at a significant cost savings, thereby
ensuring a better and more lucrative future for the entire rubber
industry.
LEVGUM's technology provides economic incentive for rubber
recyclers, allowing them to be environmentally sound and
economically feasible.

ADVANTAGES
LEVGUM's de-vulcanization process will reduce the amount of
rubber waste around the world. It will eliminate the need for
dumping in illegal landfills and save the environment from
hazardous incineration gases. It presents a sustainable economic
model for the problem of rubber waste.

MARKETS
LEVGUM's vision is that its patent-protected technology will be
responsible for 20% of the world's de-vulcanization market by
2014.


ENTREPRENEURS
Mr. Daniel Bar-On - Chairman of the Board.
M.A., political science and international relations.
Dr. Ran Zamir - CEO, Ph.D., theoretical
physics.
Dr. Lev Beirakh - Chief Scientist, vast
experience in chemistry, technology and production methods of
recycled rubber products in the Russian market.


PROJECT STATUS
The project has completed its incubator period.
Technology has been effectively proven in the industrial arena.
LEVGUM sells licenses for the use of its de-vulcanization
technology. With this, LEVGUM also offers a technical solution to
build the entire facility, financing program, and product
development services.

To date the company has seven licensees around the world:
Australia (Black - Orb), Brazil (Cibell), Greece (CYCLOELASTICA),
India (TVS Sundaram Industries), Portugal ,Turkey (MSA Kacuk,
Plastik, ith.ihr.San.Ve Tic.Ltd.Sti), and the United States
(Newrub Tire Recycling, LLC).

The leading tire company in the world has recently recognized
LEVGUM's de-vulcanized rubber compound (DRC) to be a better
material than any other commercially available materials. LEVGUM
has recently signed a joint development agreement with this tire
manufacturer aimed at maximizing the amount of its de-vulcanized
rubber in its tire compounds.


COOPERATION REQUIRED
Financial investors, strategic partners, joint ventures.
