1 SUCCESS FOR BIOPLASTICS IN THE MARKET KOEN BASTIAENS, NATUREWORKS BUSINESS LEADER FILMS, NA WESTERN PLASTICS ASSOCIATION JUNE 23,

2 WHO WE ARE World s leading bio-polymer player 150,000 ton plant in Blair, NE Significant manufacturing know-how with an extensive IP position Jointly owned by Cargill and PTTGC Proprietary portfolio of Ingeo bio-polymers & intermediates Competitive on a cost and performance basis with traditional plastics (PS, PET) Superior environmental characteristics Lower carbon footprint and low fossil energy Additional end-of-life options Established global market channels Over 100,000 ton in annual sales volume Commercial partnerships with global brands 2

3 WE TURN GREENHOUSE GAS FEEDSTOCKS INTO PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 Resins Intermediates Additives (Modifiers) Adhesives Coatings Printing Toners Specialty Lactates Surfactants 3

4 WHAT THAT MEANS TODAY CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 1st Generation Ag feedstocks are a short term Bridging Tool Resins Intermediates Additives (Modifiers) Adhesives Coatings Printing Toners Specialty Lactates Surfactants Plant Sugars Plants Manufacture 4

5 PREFERENCE: CRADLE-TO-POLYMER-PRODUCTION Ingeo 0.6 Peer Reveiwed Benchmarking RETHINKING THE TAKE-MAKE-WASTE LINEAR MODEL Polypropylene DECOUPLING FROM FOSSIL ECONOMY HDPE PET THE NEW PLASTICS ECONOMY Rethinking the Future of Plastics BIO-BENIGN Polystyrene kg CO 2 (eq) generated/kg material produced 1.PVC 2.

6 WE ARE COMMITTED TO FEEDSTOCK DIVERSIFICATION INVESTMENT IN INNOVATION AND R&D COLLABORATION TO GROW OUR INGEO FEEDSTOCK PORTFOLIO Performance materials made by transforming whatever are the right, abundant, local resources GENERATION I GENERATION II GENERATION NEXT Today Dextrose & Sucrose from cassava or corn starch, sugar cane or beet Bridging Crops Next 3-5 years Lignocellulosics: Sugars from bagasse, wood chips, switch grass or straw. And next? CO 2 to lactic acid technology? CH 4 to lactic acid technology? 6

7 PROPERTIES: OPTIMIZED TOWARDS SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS Range of melting points/crystallinity levels Tunable hydrolysis Hydrophilic / moisture wicking Inherent odor resistance UV resistance Low bonding temp Stiffness Gloss, transparency Printability Weight reduction (vs. PET) Stiffness Miscibility Improved flow Chemical resistance Stiffness Compostability High versatility for injection, extrusion and coating processes Seal strength Stiffness High gloss & transparency Dead fold / twist retention Grease, oil & aroma barriers Chemical resistance High throughput 7

14 SYNERGY: HIGH BARRIER BIO-BASED STRUCTURES FOR LONG SHELF LIFE POUCH MARKET World leading bio-polymer producer with significant manufacturing know-how and extensive IP position Offers a portfolio of naturally advanced low-carbon-footprint Ingeo functional materials, with properties tailor designed to specific end markets Specialized company providing unique bio coating with very high gas barrier performance Designed to be used for packaging of products requiring excellent oxygen and moisture barrier 14

15 PAPER ALUMINIUM PAPER LDPE fossil based LDPE ALUMINIUM PAPER PAPER 15

16 POTENTIAL PROPYLESTER INGEO APPLICATIONS Can be certified Compostable Can be certified in EU as Recyclable with paper (ATICELCA MC 501/13) PAP 22 Permeability Oxygen < 0.75 cc/m 2 x24h Water Vapor < 2.5 g/m 2 x24h 16

17 SYNERGY: HIGH PERFORMANCE SEALANT WEBS World leading bio-polymer producer with significant manufacturing know-how and extensive IP position Offers a portfolio of naturally advanced low-carbon-footprint Ingeo functional materials, with properties tailor designed to specific end markets EARTHFIRST UL films are a family of cost effective, bio-based, compostable, high performance sealant webs Replacement of thin LLDPE sealants in small, streamlined packages, for VFFS and HFFS 17

18 A mono-layer, blown Ingeo film oriented to a thickness of 9 micron (36 gauge) Ideal replacement of LLDPE seal web, BOPP lamination, and BOPP bag lining Thin gauge of film makes cost effective alternative 18

19 10X THINNER = SAME MODULUS The modulus of 0.35 mil EarthFirst UL is equivalent to 3.3 mil LLDPE. This means in the lamination process there is no problem down-gauge a 1 to 2 mil LLDPE (typical) to 0.35 mil EarthFirst UL. 19
