7 Pulp production sites 1) Dissolving wood pulp capacity: 533,000 tons/year Lenzing / AT 293,000 tons/year dissolving wood pulp Paskov / CZ 240,000 tons/year dissolving wood pulp 1) all capacities as at 31/12/2013; air-dried 7

8 Wood The raw material for Lenzing Fibers The raw material for Lenzing fibers is wood i.e. beech, spruce and eucalyptus wood Wood contains about 40% - 50% cellulose Dissolving wood pulp has specific requirements compared to paper pulp 0,3% of the entire cellulose found in the biological cycle is used for dissolving pulp The strategic objective is to provide two-thirds of required pulp from the company as own pulp production 8

12 Lenzing Group: Wood Certification by Process 2013 All pulp and wood does come from well known sources and has surpassed a certificate or internal risk assessment 16% 0% 17% 24% Controlled 28% 83% PEFC FSC CW FSC mix 32% Viscose Tencel * Controlled = Internal Audited; LAG: 71% PEFC 12

13 Highly efficient use of raw materials The Lenzing site is fully integrated. Pulp production at the Lenzing site achieves a wood utilization rate of over 50%. 13

14 PulpProduction Process Lenzing site Integrated pulp and fiber production at the Lenzing site Magnesium bisulfite process Co-products (e.g. Furfural, Xylose, Acetic acid) Totally chlorine-free (TCF) bleaching More than half of the wood is transformed into products Remaining components are used for energy production 14

16 System boundaries of LCA Study 16

17 LCA: Environmental Impacts 1. Energy: Non-Renewable Energy Use (NREU) 2. Global Warming (kg CO 2 equivalents) 3. Land use for biomass production (and land use efficiency) 4. Water use 5. The CML environmental indicators (abiotic depletion, ozone layer depletion, human toxicity, fresh water ecotoxicity, terrestrial ecotoxicity, photochemical oxidant, acidification and eutrophication) 17

31 High-tech specialty fibers TENCEL special applications TENCEL powder Separators for highperformance batteries Application hybrid power systems High quality mattresses Functional additive for a wide range of applications i.e. in plastics TENCEL as stabilizing additive for concrete or other construction materials 31

32 High-tech specialty fibers Lenzing FR flame-resistant fiber Protective wear for industry, fire fighting and the military Thermal insulation systems for protective jackets Flame resistant fabrics for upholstery 32

33 Innovations in 2013 Lenzing FR Flame-resistant fibers for public transportation Particularly strict safety guidelines must be fulfilled Lenzing FR doesn t melt, drip or afterglow in case of fire TENCEL for upholstery fabrics Intensive colors, velvety sheen More comfort through high moisture absorbance and lower electrostatic charging TENCEL for carpets Intensive colors, velvety sheen Better room climate through better moisture managment TENCEL for construction 33 Further development e.g. TENCEL additives as stabilizing factor for applications with concrete or other construction materials

34 Innovations in 2013 EUROCEL TM : Lenzing Fibers Made in Europe New fiber blend consisting of 50% Lenzing Viscose and 50% TENCEL High-end nonwovens quality produced in Europe Used mainly for hygienic applications as well as in the household and industrial sectors 34
