VANCOUVER, BC – 25 February 2009 – Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies Inc., developer and marketer of proprietary technologies that recover polluting nutrients from wastewater and recycle them into environmentally-friendly high-value fertilizer, today announced that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has been elected to the Company’s board of directors.

Kennedy is a prominent environmental advocate and a Venture Partner at VantagePoint Ventures Partners, a leading investor in 21st century technologies based in Silicon Valley, California. VantagePoint has been a significant Ostara shareholder since 2008.

Phillip Abrary, President and CEO (2005-2017) of Ostara, said the Company will benefit from Kennedy’s insights and experiences as an expert in balancing protection of the environment with sustainable recreation and development.

“Bobby is a recognized expert on water management and an active environmentalist. He is passionate about sustainability and keeping waterways clean for future generations – and we believe he will bring a unique and valuable perspective to our Board,” said Abrary.

Kennedy said he has been impressed with Ostara’s technology and its potential to help municipal wastewater systems increase the efficiency of their operations while reducing their environmental impact on waterways and the water table.

“I remain deeply concerned about the resource challenges we will face in our futures, and believe that by serving on Ostara’s board I will gain an opportunity to both advocate for environmental stewardship and help Ostara with its water treatment and resource recovery solutions,” said Kennedy.
