The recently announced digester contract with Carnival Corp. coupled with the ramp up in operations at our HEBioT resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, are indicative of our Company's promising future in providing sustainable disposal solutions that make a difference. I know from my work on the Global Sustainability Steering Committee at Walmart how important that is for our future business growth as well as the future of our planet. Equally important to our success is our ability to manage all aspects of our business from planning through product delivery and customer relations. I look forward to working closely with the entire team at BioHiTech to manage our growth and create lasting value for our shareholders."
