11 More than Worldwide. EREMA is the global market leader in plastic recycling systems. < > COMPANY HISTORY MOVIES

12 Focus on innovation From the very beginning. Plastic Recycling From waste to a valuable secondary resource EREMA, the pioneer: In 1983, the founders of EREMA, Helmut Bacher, Georg Wendelin and Helmuth Schulz were driven by the vision of creating a technology for plastic recycling. < > COMPANY HISTORY MOVIES

13 Focus on innovation From the very beginning. < > COMPANY HISTORY MOVIES

14 Innovation and technological advances. In 1984, the EREMA invention Preconditioning Unit extruder combination (radial) establishes itself on the market thanks to its numerous benefits. < > COMPANY HISTORY MOVIES

34 Stricter environmental laws Image in society

35 46M tons plastic consumption in Europe 26M tons plastic waste generation in Europe 6.5M tons collected for recycling 3.25M tons for recycling in Europe 2.3M tons recycled material -> 5% of consumption Figures PRE

36 Low Price Products

37 More globally traded Secondary Plastics Global demand for plastic scrap increases from 49M tonnes in 2015 to 85 Mio t by Source: ISWA 2014

38 Global availibility of post consumer material (without PET) compared to installed EREMA capacities Huge potential for EREMA!!! Huge potential for Recycling of Rigid packaging

39 Image of recycled material has to be improved New markets are required

40 Bureo Skateboards New ideas for innovative recycling products

41

42 Recyled pellets Raw Material Specified properties Stable quality Constant supply Volume & Demand increases

43 Application 01 Supermarket film with paper contamination

44 Supermarket film Material characteristics Large film pieces, e.g. stretch film from wrapped pallets High and varying humidity (because of outside storage) Contamination: paper labels (up to 3%), wood, dust, etc.

45 Solution Supermarket film Material characteristics Large film pieces, e.g. stretch film from wrapped pallets High and varying humidity (because of outside storage) cuts homogenises heats dries compacts buffers doses

46 Solution Supermarket film Counter Current benefits NEW Despite varying input conditions the throughput is stable and higher

47 Solution Supermarket film Gentle melting benefits The melting process is extremely gentle due to ideal material heating in the preconditioning unit Short extruder, very low shearing forces Therefore paper contaminants do not become carbonized => no smell problem The contaminant particles remain large => efficient filtration

48 Solution Supermarket film High performance filtration Contamination: paper labels (up to 5%), wood, dust, etc. The EREMA Laserfilter

49 EREMA Laserfilter Pure cleaning efficiency EREMA Laserfilter video

50 EREMA Laserfilter Working principle of new scraper Thanks to the new scraper geometry and discharge system design the filter achieves firstclass cleaning efficiency, discharge capacity and thickening. NEW scraper contaminant screen disc borehole Highest thickening = lowest melt loss in the removal of contamination Patent pending melt flow

51 Application 02 Washed film flakes

52 Washed film flakes A wide variety of different materials Agricultural film: Cellulose contaminants, sand Household film: Multilayer film including PET / PA layers, PP films Supermarket film: Paper contamination, PET contamination (bottles strapping) Construction film: Dust, wood, paper etc.

53 Recycling Agricultural Plastic Waste Source material types. < > APPLICATIONS MOVIES

54 Recycling Agricultural Plastic Waste How is this accomplished? Collection / sorting Size reduction Washing / drying Melt, filtration, degassing & pelletizing < > APPLICATIONS MOVIES

55 Recycling Agricultural Plastic Waste Material preparation Shredding Pre-washing float/sink Grinders Series of washing tanks Centrifugal drying then mechanical Buffer silo storage ready for pelletizing < > APPLICATIONS MOVIES

56 Household waste Material characteristics High moisture content Strong contamination Strong variations of material Complex material mixtures foreign polymers, e.g. PA, PET, etc. Organic residuals

57 Solution Household waste The challenge!

58 Solution Household waste High moisture content Strong variations of material Organic residuals cuts homogenises heats dries compacts buffers doses

59 Solution Household waste Optimised homogenisation section Homogenisation of the melt: those impurities which can only be partly filtered (rubber-like particles) Strong contamination Complex material mixtures (mulitlayer) Preparing the melt for degassing (degassing section)

60 Solution Household waste Improved homogenisation section No lenses Smaller contaminants Well homogenised Standard homogenisation Improved homogenisation section

61 Solution Household waste Double filtration Double filtration:

62 INPUT MATERIAL Quality is getting worse and worse Film is getting thinner and thinner & Contaminants are getting higher and higher proportionally YOU Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film Quality has to increase steadily Film is getting thinner and thinner & Film defects should get less and less

63 INPUT MATERIAL Commercial post consumer waste 98/2 expensive but less challenge to recycle Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film High costs Low margin Achievable price

64 INPUT MATERIAL Now: Post consumer waste: household waste (e.g. yellow bag) cheap but very challenging to recycle Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film Low costs High margin Achievable price
