Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 28, 2008, ECO2 Plastics, Inc. (the “Company”) received $550,550.00 in the form of a convertible secured bridge loan (the “Loan”) provided by certain investors, including Tom Hutton and funds associated with venture capital firm Trident Capital (collectively, the “Investors”). The Loan is secured by all assets of the Company.  Pursuant to the Loan, the Investors received common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 18,351,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 cents per share.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to April 14, 2015.

The Investors have previously invested in the Company.  Trident Capital has a representative on the Board of Directors of the Company, and Tom Hutton is currently a member of the Board of Directors.

The Loan was obtained as part of a planned total bridge financing of between $3.5 to $5.0 million from certain accredited investors to be made pursuant to the terms of a note and warrant purchase agreement, the balance of which is expected to close by September 15, 2008 (the “Financing”).  The Company anticipates that the Financing will provide between $3.5 and $5.0 million in total new capital.
  
The purposes of the Financing are (i) to purchase new equipment for the Company’s proprietary CO2 cleansing equipment and other critical spare parts and equipment; (ii) to reduce trade payables; and (iii) to fund continuing operations.  The Company undertook the Financing primarily due to higher than expected equipment and installation costs and working capital requirements related to the expansion of production capacity in the Company’s Riverbank, California processing plant. This Financing will also help fund additional current and future projects and also support the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing cash and working capital needs.


Item 2.03                      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In connection with the Financing mentioned above, on August 28, 2008, the Company became obligated on a direct financial obligation in the amount of $550,550.00.  The Loan accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum and is due and payable on demand at any time on or after March 31, 2009.  Under the terms of the Loan, the principal amount of and accrued, unpaid interest on the Loan is convertible into certain preferred stock or certain other equity securities of the Company.

Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On August 28, 2008, pursuant to the Loan discussed above, the Investors received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,351,667 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.015.   The Warrants were issued pursuant to Rule 506 of the securities act.
