2 Introduction Cumapol, company introduction Current activities Future plans

3 Introduction Marco Brons 10 years Akzo Nobel 10 years Wellman PET Resins Introduction EcoClear, bottle-to-bottle rpet in 1997 Cumapol is founded in 2007

4 Production facility Cumapol took over the former Akzo/Wellman PET production plant in Emmen, the Netherlands in 2010.

5 Solid State Polymerization Toll conversion with the Continuous Solid State Polymerization units for the polyester industry. 2 Continuous Lines with a capacity of 75 tons/day each Batch size > 100 ton Off spec < 1%

6 EFSA positive scientific opinion In 2013 Cumapol received the positive scientific opinion of EFSA for the Bottle-to-bottle process.

7 Extrusion & compounding In 2013 Cumapol invested in extrusion capacity and started the production of mechanically recycled PET. Capacity: max. 48 tons/day

8 Owners/Partners United Polymer Trading (UPT) DuFor Resins

9 Products Bottle to Bottle, high clarity, IV 0.80 Bottle to strapping, green, IV 0.95 Custom Made Polyesters

10 Why doing business with Cumapol? Virgin quality standard background Very robust cleaning efficiency One of the highest line capacities (30kton/year) in Europe for rpet Fully automated processes Custom made polyesters

11 The ultimate goal To demonstrate the transition of Linear PET production facility to Circular PET production facility

12 Transition step 1 Market trend: Increase of collecting rate of good quality PET Cumapol s solution: Increase of extrusion capacity to balance extrusion and SSP capacity at ton/year

13 Mechanical Recycling BTX PTA/MEG PET Mecanical Recycling Consumer Sorting Waste Collection

14 Transition step 1 Mechanical recycling

15 Transition step 2 Market trend: increase of collecting rate of bad quality PET Increase of collection of colored and barrier modified PET Increase of collection of other polyester products Cumapol s solution: Chemical recycling

16 Chemical recycling BTX PTA/MEG PET Purified BHET Mecanical Recycling Consumer De- Polymeri zation Sorting Waste Collection

17 Chemical recycling process Glycolysis in existing esterification reactor of first line Purification: Filtration at < 20 micron Color removal Polymerization in second, revamped line Planning: operational in 2017 at 25 kton/year

18 Transition step 2 Mechanical recycling Chemical recycling

19 Transition step 3 Market trend: The need to create circular economy The need to prevent usage of fossil sources Cumapol s solution: Cooperation with biobtx to develop 100% biobased PET from biomass

20 Biobased PET BTX PTA/MEG PET Catalyst Pyrolisis Purified BHET Mecanical Recycling Consumer Wood waste De- Polymeri zation Sorting Waste Collection

21 Kton/year 100% Biobased PET growth expectation Source: Grand View Research

22 100% Biobased PET process BioPET100 Corporation between biobtx and Cumapol Patented process for the catalyzed pyrolysis of biomass (e.g. wood) generating a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX). Separation and purification of px and conversion to biopta Conversion of biopta with biomeg to BioPET100 First grams BioPET100 are produced! Planning: pilot plant being operational in 2016

23 Transition step 3 Mechanical recycling Chemical recycling Biobased PET

24 Transition step 4 Market trend: Increased collection of mixed plastic and laminates Cumapol s solution: Promising results with mixed plastics in the biobtx process

25 Sustainability in the PET chain BTX PTA/MEG PET Catalyst Pyrolisis Purified BHET Mecanical Recycling Consumer Mioxed plastic waste Wood waste De- Polymeri zation Sorting Waste Collection

26 Transition step 4 Mechanical recycling Chemical recycling Biobased PET Mixed Plastics

27 CO2 footprint & LCA Fossil based PET bottles vs Sustainable PET Bottle Deposit bottle with 80% recyling rate First CO2 footprint indicative values are calculated Complete LCA will be calculated in the coming months

28 CO 2 footprint Bottle composition in % & Carbon footprint in kg CO 2 /kg PET Bottle 1 Bottle 2 Bottle 3 Bottle 4 Fossil based PET Mechanical recycled PET Chemical recycled PET Biobased PET, Biomass 1 Biobased PET, Biomass 2 CO2 footprint 2,5 2 1,5 1 0,5 0
