TORONTO, ON -- March 14, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Amfil
Technologies Inc. (OTC
PINK: AMFE) is pleased to provide the following
update to the shareholders and the investment community regarding
our GROzone subsidiary.
The GROzone product line recently received a positive review
from Pennsylvania Certified Organic allowing their clients to use
our GROzone product line in organic production. Pennsylvania
Certified Organic (PCO) reviews products for clients located in
Pennsylvania and the surrounding states as well as for the CCOF,
(California Certified Organic Farmers) and now allows the CCOF
clients to use the GROzone product line as well. PCO confirmed that
our product line complied with the National Organic Programs (NOP)
regulations and the outcome was the receipt of a positive
review.
The USDA regulates the use of such terms as "organic" or
"organically produced". In order to market a product as organic,
USDA regulations require certification by an accredited
certification agency. Pennsylvania Certified Organics certification
program is accredited by the USDA for compliance with the National
Organic Program. Since marijuana is still a federally illegal crop,
the USDA currently does not recognize it as a crop that can be
organically grown or called certified organic just yet. However
being allowed to use the GROzone product line for any and all forms
of what is currently deemed agricultural production is reassuring
as marijuana cultivators that want to follow organic practices
essentially follow the National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines.
There are now alternate certifications being developed that could
be applied for specific to the industry, through agencies such as
the Organic Cannabis Association (OCA) or Clean Green Certified but
all relate back to the NOP regulations and guidelines.
Achieving organic status and being able to label a product as
certified organic, or in the case of the U.S. market, "Clean Green"
or "Certified Kind" usually will allow the seller to demand a
premium on the product. Even more importantly and in an industry
such as the medical marijuana industry, it would help to ensure
that the producer or manufacturer will never have product recall or
product failure due to any elevated levels of harmful ingredients
used throughout the grow process that can make them susceptible to
liability from the consumer. A well known example of this is would
be the recent issues in the media relating to residual pesticide
contamination in end use marijuana products and the product recalls
and lawsuits that have followed.
GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of
naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the
typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (such
as aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria,
fungus, microbes and surface mold, all without the use of
chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's
water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent
PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae,
bacteria or mold (which allows for comprehensive water recycling).
This completely eliminates the need to use pesticides and/or
dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production
problems, as is common throughout the industry today.
The GroZone System was originally developed in 2014 by way of a
Joint Venture ("JV") with Ambrose Fillis and A.C.T.S. systems, the
creators of the original ozone technology with successful
installations in companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun
Pacific and many others. Through the JV, the technology was
modified and developed specifically for the medical marijuana
industry. A.C.T.S. has recently rebranded itself under Advanced
Ozone Integration Inc. (AOI) and as a result the original mPACT
GroZone 60 system has been redesigned and engineered to make some
upgrades that will benefit the overall end result of the product
line. Our new product equivalent is now called the EcoPrO3 GroZone
Antimicrobial System. Some of the upgrades include:
- Unit is now all stainless steel.
Fully automated system with user friendly electronic interface
making operational control very easy to use and the ability to have
tighter control parameters.
Highly efficient in addressing most of the challenges facing
grow-ops with regards to mold and pest control, more effective
nutrient consumption, improved plant strength and quality.
Greater flexibility to scale systems up or down based on actual
grow-op application requirements.
Ability to integrate/adapt into existing facility
monitoring/control systems or develop independent systems where
required
Ability to control/monitor via internet or remotely.
Amfil Technologies Inc. will supply pictures of and more
detailed information on the new system through press and on
the www.grozone.bizwebsite in the near future once
the new patent application on the technology has been submitted by
AOI. We expect this process to be completed in the coming
days.
Further updates with regards to on-going progress being made
within our subsidiaries can be expected shortly.
The outstanding common share count of Amfil Technologies Inc. is
444,807,264 which is cumulative since its inception in 1985 as the
company has never had any recapitalizations in its 32 year
history.

2). The GroZone System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech
and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under
Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone
technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and
integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco,
Sun Pacific and many others. GROzone is a triple-function
sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water
and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that
wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider
mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces,
all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a
given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and
maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the
formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive
water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use
pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat
production problems, as is common throughout the industry today.
This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while
slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption
by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow
for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the
U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal
level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime.
