EXPLANATORY NOTE

Startech Environmental Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement No. 333-119668, as amended, originally filed on October 8, 2004 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”), to amend the Registration Statement to deregister 8,765,780 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, which were registered under the Registration Statement but which were not sold  (“Registered Shares”) by the selling securityholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Securityholders”). The Registered Shares are being deregistered because the Registrant is in the process of filing one or more new registration statements to cover the resale of the Registered Shares by certain Selling Securityholders identified in the Registration Statement that continue to have registration rights, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.
