12 A Sustainable Choice Many Different Slogans Cause Some Eco-Confusion Compostable Carbon free Refill CO reduced Biobased Biobased Life Cycle Analysis Avoid Overpacking Green Chemistry EnergyEfficiency Efficiency Energy Biodegradability Renewable Energy Carbon Footprint Energy Recovery Eco friendly Avoid Underpacking Light weight Re-Use Recycling Recycling Waste reduction Waste reduction Bioplastics CO free Reduce Weight / Volume Eco-labelling However four major sustainability targets are crystallizing A Sustainable Choice Energy Efficiency Compostable Carbon free Refill CO reduced Energy Efficiency Biodegradability Life Cycle Analysis Avoid Overpacking Green Chemistry Renewable Energy Carbon Footprint Energy Recovery Eco friendly Light weight Avoid Underpacking Bioplastics CO free Re-Use Reduce Weight / Volume Eco-labelling

13 A Sustainable Choice Energy Efficiency: In Two of Its Main Applications XPS insulation boards for Buildings low high mechanical strength no predrying lowest energy consumption in processing kg Energy needed to achieve typical processing temperature* kg kg kg kg CO emission during production [kj/kg] CO saving an estimated year lasting application CO emission/saving of m of XPS Source: BASF: styrodur/downloads/de/styrodur_europes_green_insulation.pdf *Source: The Cup is an extremly energy efficient material A Sustainable Choice Recycling Compostable Carbon free Refill Avoid Overpacking Green Chemistry CO reduced Biodegradability Life Cycle Analysis Renewable Energy Carbon Footprint Energy Recovery Eco friendly Light weight Avoid Underpacking Recycling Bioplastics CO free Re-Use Reduce Weight / Volume Eco-labelling

14 A Sustainable Choice Recycling: Manifold Proven Applications Poland: underfloor matting UK: pencils Coat hangers Poland: radiation reflector UK: cup holder Spain: clothing alarms Austria: a series of office articles Spain: shoe heels Spain: drawers Spain: electrical boxes Turkey: computer keyboard parts Flower pots A Sustainable Choice Calorific Value in MJ/kg Recycling: Has a Superior Heat of Combustion A snapshot on one single country: MJ/kg MJ/kg Denmark - MJ/kg Danish Energy from Waste plants provide electricity and heat for, households, about % of the population MJ/kg MJ/kg MJ/kg Natural Gas Crude Oil / Polyolefins Coal / Bioplastics Comparable to Natural Gas and Crude Oil Solid Oil Cardboard / Paper

15 A Sustainable Choice Waste reduction Compostable Carbon free Refill Avoid Overpacking Green Chemistry CO reduced Biodegradability Life Cycle Analysis Renewable Energy Carbon Footprint Energy Recovery Eco friendly Avoid Underpacking Light weight Re-Use Bioplastics Waste reduction CO free Reduce Weight / Volume Eco-labelling A Sustainable Choice million metric tons CO/a Waste Reduction: A Comprehensive View for Food Packaging % % Wasted food is a waste of resources and really bad for the environment. % of Swedes climate impact depends on the food we throw away (Source: Magnus Huss, CEO of the Swedish Plastics & Chemicals Federation) In Europe consumers throw away each year ~ million metrics tons of precious food (Source: FAO study Global Food Losses and Food Waste, ) % Carbon Footprint of thrown away food* Carbon Footprint of plastics packagings for food consumed** Carbon Footprint of thrown away food* * estimate Carbon Footprint of plastics packagings Carbon Footprint of plastics packagings for food thrown away ** Plastics Europe Reduction of thrown-away food has the highest leverage

16 A Sustainable Choice kg CO/a Waste Reduction: Small Portion Packs Reduce the Carbon Footprint EXAMPLE Yoghurt packed in Cups x gr or x gr? % of the total Carbon Footprint originate from the yoghurt and just % from the packaging FFS portion packs from polystyrene reduce the Carbon Footprint by ~ % due to less yoghurt thrown away Yoghurt consumed Yoghurt not consumed Yoghurt in gr FFS polystyrene cups Yoghurt in gr polystyrene cups cups Estimate food due to a reduction of thrown-away A Sustainable Choice Biobased Compostable Carbon free Refill Avoid Overpacking Green Chemistry CO reduced Biobased Life Cycle Analysis Biodegradability Renewable Energy Carbon Footprint Energy Recovery Eco friendly Light weight Avoid Underpacking Bioplastics CO free Re-Use Reduce Weight / Volume Eco-labelling

17 A Sustainable Choice Biobased: Based on Renewables Fiction or Vision? Crude Oil / Natural Gas Naphtha / LPG Ethylene Styrene Benzene A Sustainable Choice Biobased: Based on Renewables Fiction or Vision? Sugar Cane / Corn / Wheat Bioethanol Crude Oil / Natural Gas Naphtha / LPG Ethylene Styrene Benzene Lignin BTX Several research projects; ~ - years until commercialization Technically based on renewable resources is a very realistic option economically??
