1 Let s do it WISER The Circular economy real time Groningen, 07 december 2018 Marco Kwak New Business Development Attero

2 Houston, we have a problem Since the mass production of plastic began, 9 billion tons have already been produced. Most of this has been put underground or landed in the environment, only 9 percent has been recycled.* In 2050 the total amount of plastics produced is estimated to be 35 billion tons.

4 Thesis 1 From a waste perspective: The recovery (re-use) of raw materials from residual waste is not possible without subsequent post separation 4

5 Thesis 2 From a waste perspective: producers of plastic products must be obliged to process at least 50% of recycled plastics 5

6 6 This is our business.. Waste(d time)?

7 WISER Attero s = mission Waste is is Sustainable maximum recovery Energy of & Renewable Resource resources and energy waste-to-energy composting digestion separation & sorting 2 plants 8 plants 13 stortplaa tsen 2 plants Attero processes 3.4 million tons annually 7 plants 18,7 million m3 green gas GWh powergeneration turnover 339 Million employees Provincies where Attero is operational 7

8 Main European waste policies 8 Attero minimizes our footprint from waste and maximizes the re-use of valuable resources

22 Plastics example (1) Task: Kind of Plastic??? 22

23 Plastics example (2) Task: Kind of plastic? 23

24 Plastics example (3) : Kind of plastic? 24

25 Plastics example (4) Task: Kind of plastic? 25

26 26 Quality at source (1)

27 Focus on quantity or degree of reusability 1. Prevention 2. Wrong incentives (tarif / frequency) 3. Reusabillity instead of KG 27

28 Confusion = pollution Biodegradable packaging (PLA, PHA) Non-biodegradable packaging (LDPE, PE, PP, PET, BioPE, BioPET)

35 The Law of Retention of Misery What to do? The Law of Retention of Misery Residual waste shifts Quality = re-use Post separation = MUST Less consuming Fossil prices low! The polluter pays? CO 2 pricing /Real Pricing We depend on subsidies to produce sustainable resources / Green Energy / Fuels????? 35
