1 TM A Sustainable Plastics Circular Economy ARORATEK INTERNATIONAL LTD 1

2 AroraTek Background AroraTek Interna,onal Ltd is a UK early stage company opera2ng on the sustainable plas2cs packaging market. The founders of AroraTek have a long and very comprehensive knowledge in various technologies making plas2cs more sustainable including the requirements and demands on sustainable packaging solu2ons AroraTek has selected sustainable technologies that are complimentary to each other, and have the ability to present a new concept a set of sustainable packaging solu2ons for the converter, the end user/customer, the retailer and the brand owner. AroraTek is now bringing this technology concept into the market and to the plas2cs packaging industry to offer sustainable improved technologies providing lower impact on carbon footprint and on economy. AroraTek is not just offering or supplying a single component, but an en2re concept. The ability to offer and reach the retailers, raise their awareness and their aden2on will now increase drama2cally and thus also the ability to get the business. AroraTek represents OYSTERLEAN TM in UK. ESP Solu2ons Interna2onal AB in Sweden is supplying OYSTERLEAN TM, also providing technical and commercial support. 2

3 The Story The founders of ESP* have during years been opera2ng with many so-called sustainable technologies bringing various features to the life cycle of plas2cs packaging and single use products. Searching for a low impact on carbon footprint and economy technology brought ESP into a technique to refine a bio-marine waste material sourced from sea shell. The shells being a real waste generated at oyster farms, are collected, refined and processed into pellets which are made adaptable and viable to the be used by plas2cs packaging industry. The product is called oysterlean The carbon footprint of oysterlean is more than 5,mes lower than of conven2onal plas2cs like polyethylene (PE). Thus ESP achieved a low impact on carbon footprint and in addi2on a product very stable in price due to the use of a waste bio renewable material also allowing a low impact on the economy. *Gunnar Forsberg, Marke2ng and Sales Director, MSc, BA at ESP Solu2ons Interna2onal AB has granted patents applied in ADD-X Biotech AB ref. no WO 2006/ and PCT/ SE2005/ (AddiFlex oxobio addi2ves). 3

6 Environment and Climate Impact 6

7 Environment oysterlean TM provides approximately five 2mes less Green House Gas (GHG) impact than PE and PP. This par2cular thanks to that > 75% of the product is based on a biomarine waste (shells) and a carbon capture in the shells. Assump2on is based on an LCA(ISO 14040) provided by SGS for ESP oysterlean TM is a renewable material > 75%, a biomarint waste from shell. The material is tested to define the socalled new "modern" carbon-containing C 14 according to ASTM D6866 performed by BETA LAB in the United States. An incinera2on of oysterlean TM has lidle environmental impact and only 23.5% of the CO2 is not environmentally neutral and/or is going back into the bio-circula2on. 7

15 oysterlean TM IN SUMMARY SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADDED VALUES 1. Lowering* the Carbon Footprint CO2 (Only % of PE) 2. Saves > 80-90% for every lbs/kg of oysterlean TM used in exchange of virgin PE. i.e. 30% inclusion of oysterlean TM gives nearly 25% savings of CO2. 3. Using a refined bio-renewable** marine waste not compe,ng with land based food produc,on. 4. Provides a Carbon Capture in the bio-marine environment. 5. Is recyclable and compa,ble with basically all plas,cs processes as well as recycled materials. (Recycled PE saves approx % of CO2, but is a non-renewable material.) *LCA ISO14040 (SGS 2011), **ASTM D6866 (Beta Lab 2012) NOTE: oysterlean was previously named ESP303D 15
