           Vincent J. Truant Assumes CEO Responsibility September 1st

SANTA BARBARA, CA - August 29, 2005 - EarthShell(R) Corporation (OTCBB: ERTH),
innovators of food service packaging designed with the environment in mind,

continue in his new post as Chairman of the Board. Additionally, Mr. Hodson will
support Mr. Truant during a transition period to ensure continuity of all key
activities of the business, but will not be an employee or operational officer
of the Company.

"This is an important time for the Company as full scale commercialization and
rollout of EarthShell Packaging(R) begins through our licensees. We appreciate
the strong market support for these revolutionary products. Today's announced
change has been planned for many months as the next important step in our
business development. We support Mr. Truant in his efforts with licensees to
bring the Company to commercialization and expansion," said Mr. Hodson.

"At this time, our primary focus is the commercialization of EarthShell
Packaging plates and bowls, followed by additional business building efforts to
generate royalty revenue," said Vincent J. Truant, "Our joint efforts with
ReNewable Products, Inc. (RPI) are progressing well and production is being
readied for market launch. The strength of our technology and the market's
readiness to embrace EarthShell products continues to be strong." Mr. Truant
continued, "I look forward to working closely with Mr. Hodson during what will
be a very important transition period over the next sixty days. On behalf of the
entire organization, we will always value the many contributions that Simon
Hodson has made to EarthShell Corporation as one of its founders and we
genuinely appreciate his continuing involvement as board chairman as the company

With Mr. Truant assuming responsibility as chief executive officer, the Company
plans to move its corporate offices to Maryland and consolidate all business
operations there.

Mr. Truant has more than 35 years of business experience in general management,
marketing, brand management, financial management & funding development,
operations, manufacturing, training and human resources development. Mr. Truant
has served in key positions with Eli Lilly & Company and Philip Morris/Miller
Brewing Company and has been involved in numerous successful new product
introductions in the consumer and institutional markets, both domestically and
globally. Additionally, he brings a broad depth of experience relative to the
food service packaging industry as a result of 15-year tenure with the former
Sweetheart Cup Company, where he served as corporate officer, and general
manager of strategic business units and vice president of national accounts.

EarthShell Corporation is engaged in the licensing and commercialization of
proprietary composite material technology for the manufacture of foodservice
disposable packaging, including cups, plates, bowls, hinged-lid containers, and
sandwich wraps. In addition to certain environmental characteristics, EarthShell
Packaging is designed to be cost and performance competitive compared to other
foodservice packaging materials.

EarthShell sandwich containers, plates, bowls and wraps are designed with the
environment in mind. Developed over many years using a "life cycle inventory"
and in consultation with leading environmental experts, EarthShell products
reduce the environmental burdens of rigid food service packaging through the
careful selection of raw materials, processes and suppliers. The products are
made primarily from natural limestone and starch from potatoes, wheat or corn.
The new packaging poses substantially fewer risks to wildlife than polystyrene
foam packaging because it biodegrades when exposed to moisture in nature,
physically disintegrates in water when crushed or broken, and can be composted
in a commercial facility, where available, or in your backyard.
