GreenMan Technologies Clarifies Position in Georgia

SAVAGE, MN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 16, 2007 -- GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GMTI), a leading recycler of over 12 million scrap tires per year in the United States, reconfirmed today in the wake of a recent fire at its former Jackson, Georgia location, that as previously disclosed in its Securities and Exchange Commission filings, GreenMan divested all Georgia-based scrap tire recycling operations in March 2006 (See March 6, 2006 Press Release). While GreenMan sublets the former facility to the purchasers of the Georgia operations, GreenMan maintains adequate property coverage as a condition of its primary lease.

GreenMan collects and recycles over 12 million tires annually into alternative fuel, alternative energy and innovative products. Today, our products are used as an efficient alternative fuel in large industrial boilers, as a substitute for crushed stone in civil engineering applications and as crumb rubber in playground and sport surfaces, rubberized asphalt and landscaping applications. We pursue technological processes and unique marketing programs intended to maximize the value of each tire we manage. To learn more, please visit our website at www.greenman.biz
