ITEM 8.01         OTHER EVENTS

         World Waste Technologies, Inc., a California corporation ("WORLD
WASTE"), announced today that, at a special meeting of its shareholders held on
March 6, 2009, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each of
World Waste's common stock, Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred
stock, adopted the previously announced merger agreement among World Waste,
Vertex Holdings, L.P., formerly Vertex Energy, L.P., a Texas limited
partnership, Vertex Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("VERTEX NEVADA"), Vertex
Merger Sub, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly owned
subsidiary of Vertex Nevada, and Benjamin P. Cowart, as agent for the
shareholders of Vertex Nevada. Upon consummation of the merger, World Waste will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Vertex Nevada, and Vertex Nevada will
succeed to World Waste's reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

         The parties believe that all of the conditions to the closing of the
merger will be met, and anticipate that the merger will be consummated March 31,
2009.
