Cape Town, South Africa -- (SBWire) -- 05/07/2013 --Julian Moses, president of Symphony Trade and Investment 57 (Pty) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eccotopia Ltd., http://www.eccotopia.com/ , has announced that Eccotopia and Pacific Tree West are in the process of signing a joint venture agreement for the marketing, development and implementation of Megafolia© tree plantations throughout the Republic of South Africa.
The ultimate goal of the projects is the creation of jobs through the development of Megafolia© tree plantations. The Megafolia© tree has been designed to provide a distinctively broad variety of uses including the phytoremediation of ground water and topsoil, production of biofuel, the production of timber from which a wide variety of timber products can be made, biomass-to-energy production, and carbon sequestration. This broad spectrum of uses for the Megafolia© tree will enable the provision of numerous new non-mining job possibilities in any regions in which the plantations are developed.
The Megafolia© tree has been shown to be uniquely able to utilize waste mining water as the trees are cultivated, creating a welcome solution for the inherent mining waste water issues throughout the Republic of South Africa. Megafolia© trees are characteristically suited for the process of phytoremediation, as they are able to flourish utilizing polluted mining water which is an abundant by-product of the mining industry.
Upon the successful implementation of projects, Eccotopia, founded and developed on the basis of over 30 years of research and development in the fields of forestry, farming, business and agricultural investments with a focus on sustainability, will have the exclusive marketing and development rights in specified geographic territories or regions, to include the Republic of South Africa.
