Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2016) - Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. (CSE: EAC) ("Earth Alive" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received an order for its MC2 microbial insecticide from a Latin American corporation based in the Caribbean. The corporation has ordered 75,000 units of Earth Alive's MC2 product which will be used on a large scale pilot project in residential settings across the region. MC2, a biodegradable microbial formula, is effective in controlling the proliferation of the "Aedes aegypti" mosquito, which is in part responsible for the spread of the Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika viruses.

"Earth Alive's mission has always been about harnessing the power of nature to unlock the potential of microorganisms and help us address serious issues facing humankind, such as air pollution, the world's food security challenges and diseases," stated David Gilmour, CEO of Earth Alive. He added, "The World Health Organization recently declared that mosquito-borne viruses are a global health emergency and that, right now, the best way to stop their proliferation is the use of prevention measures. Our MC2 product is an effective and environmentally sustainable insect control alternative to the use of chemical insecticides. We have been working for over two years to bring this product to the Latin American market and we are happy to begin shipments of MC2 to the region."

Mr. Gilmour further added, "This order not only represents the beginning of the commercialization of MC2 in the Caribbean, but we are also actively working with other Latin American potential clients to begin commercialization of MC2 in other markets in the months ahead."

"MC2 has undergone extensive laboratory testing in various countries in Latin America, and we are proud to provide this environmentally sustainable technology to assist efforts of disease control," stated Miguel Monroy, Director of Business Affairs at Earth Alive. "We believe that MC2 will be a solid contributor to the fight against harmful mosquitos and diseases in Latin America and we look forward to its growing use in the months and years ahead," he added.
