Perf Go Green Expands Distribution to United Hardware Distributing Company



          Retail Network Encompasses More Than 1,200 Stores

           Full Line of Perf Go Green Products to be Sold

NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. ("Perf Go Green") (OTCBB:PGOG) (www.perfgogreen.com), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, today announced a distribution partnership with United Hardware Distributing Company. A full-line wholesale hardware distributor, United services more than 1,200 retail stores in 18 states and had sales of more than $170 million in 2007.

"United offers a great opportunity for Perf Go Green to bring our environmentally friendly products to a whole new set of customers," commented Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. "We're especially pleased that United will carry our full line of products, including household and commercial bags, plastic drop cloths and pet products. All in all, United is stocking nine different Perf Go Green items, each one of which offers households and business the opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint."

United Hardware Distributing Company, which has developed a dominant presence in the upper-Midwest, provides a wide range of products, retail programs, and support services to independent retailers. Headquartered in Plymouth, Minnesota, the company is 100% owned by its member-dealers, located in 18 states. United services its members from a 400,000 square foot distribution center located in Milbank, South Dakota. The distribution center stocks a complete merchandise assortment of more than 55,000 items.

Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products were honored for their design quality and innovation. Perf Go Green -- whose products are now available online and nationwide at approximately 15,000 retail outlets -- is proud to be part of the nation's "go green" movement, which is poised to become a $500 billion market by 2009, according to Landor Associates.

Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an Oxo-Biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for its bags. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the Oxo-Biodegradable applied to our bags, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade within two years, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, Perf Go Green effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time, similar to a tissue box.
