2 Content Overview ALPLA Sustainability Recycling ALPLA Best Practice

3 Milestones & Vision Alpenplastik Lehner Alwin OHG was founded by Alwin and Helmuth Lehner Opening of Global Technical Center Hard. Start up of further plants in Western Europe Expansion in Eastern Europe Recycling: First PCR bottle Acquisition of PET Recycling Team GmbH of Austria First plant in Africa (Kempton Park, South Africa) Acquisition of PLASCO S.p.A. of Italy and Argo S.A. subsidiary Egypt Forms a joint venture with the Egyptian group TABA Acquisition of Romanian preform producer StarEastPet 2017 ALPLA provides Our goal is solutions for plastic packaging to fulfill market requirements in the best possible way global market and technology leadership

9 Sustainability ALPLA Sustainability integrates social, environmental, ethical and human rights concerns into the business operation and core strategy. Economy Increase share of Inhouse production Consider sustainable criteria in purchase, logistics and investments Responding to customer requests Production & Environment Recycling and sustainable Materials Enhance product design and light weighting Resource efficient production and use of renewable energy People & Society Human rights and labor protection Education and Training Responding to society concerns

10 Sustainability Materials Material reduction due to Light-weighting Product-design Latest machine technology R&D: new materials with improved rigidity Experience with alternative/green materials Bio-resins: PLA, test of various bio-materials Green PET: Plantbottle (Coca-Cola) Green PE from sugar cane (Braskem) PEF (polyethylene furanoate) from Avantium Use of recycled material in our products rpet and rhdpe producer of preforms with a share of rpet between 20% 100%

11 Sustainability Resource Efficient Production Use of new energy saving technologies Heat recovery: Waste heat from production is reused for heating Reduction of compressed air due to air-recycling systems Working illumination - efficient lightning systems due to LED Eco friendly production Manufacturing waste is recycled and used in own production No use of PVC; substitution process to PET started 20 years ago Plasticizers are not intentionally added by ALPLA Continuous carbon footprint reduction efforts

12 Recycling at ALPLA More than 20 years of experience in recycling plastics Nature as a role model for the circular economy 3 ALPLA recycling plants (Austria, Poland, Mexico) Waste prevention at every ALPLA plant Supporting upcycling projects cradle-to-cradle principle rpet reduces CO 2 emissions DESPITE FLUCTUATING CRUDE OIL PRICES AND OTHER CHALLENGES, WE ARE FIRMLY BEHIND THE ISSUE OF RECYCLING. Günther Lehner, CEO

13 Sustainable Business Model Innovation Recycling LIFE CYCLE OF PET BOTTLES

14 ALPLA Closed Loop System example from Slovenia Start of the project 2014 Recycled content 50% Main goal Fructal and ALPLA commitment cooperation in terms of the Circular Economy packaging fee discount on bales Waste management company costs of sorting and baling Collectors 1. collects baled PET bottles 2. delivers baled PET bottles to PRT for recycling makes rpet granulate 2018 ALPLA All copyrights and other rights of this document and all its contents including photography, design drawings, etc. are exclusively reserved by ALPLA Werke Alwin Lehner GmbH & Co KG produces new PET preform with recycled content

15 ALPLA Products- best practice Werner & Mertz Located in Mainz, Germany Detergents and households 100% rpet in all bottles Access to other streams, like the yellow bag W&M claims to have sold > 20% more bottles than in the previous year on behalf of this campaign Vöslauer Located in Bad Vöslau, Austria Water and CSD and filling for brands > 70% rpet in all water bottles and this is labelled Is driving this trend for a couple of years now

16 ALPLA Products- best practice UHU Stic ReNature Container from 58% plant-based raw material 46% lower CO 2 emissions 48% lower consumption of fossil raw materials 100% recyclable Awarded with several eco-prices Ecover 75% Plantplastic and 25% post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) Plantplastic is plastic made from sustainably harvested sugarcane Reduces CO 2 emissions and the use of fossil raw materials 100% recyclable

17 ALPLA Products- best practice HENKEL Perwoll Pilot project laundry bottles with 15% rhdpe Recycling HDPE is a lot more difficult than recycling PET Its development process and optimisation lasted 2 years until the high quality standard of the material could be reached P&G Head & Shoulders launches limited edition bottle with beach plastic in France (summer 2017) Bottles contain 25% recycled beach plastic Material is very difficult to reuse due to its degradation Revolutionary techniques

18 ALPLA Products- best practice EcoBottle Lightest HDPE bottle Contains up to 30% recycling material Different sizes from 1 3 liter Production in UK Customers: Arla Foods & Müller Wiseman Dairies Unilever - Foam Bottle Material and weight reduction up to 15% with equal functionalities and recyclability Physical process no use of further chemical substances No difference in handling for consumer Project partners Unilever and MuCell Production since 2014 in Lübeck / Germany for the European Market Unilever-launches-breakthrough-packaging-technology-that-uses-15pc-less-plastic.html
