14 Why bottle-to-bottle rpet (Savuka PET)? Approximately 68% (140,000 tonnes) of PET usage in SA is for beverages* Projected 8% growth rate in PET use* Recycling rate of PET beverage packaging in 2015 was 52%* To date rpet has been primarily used for polyester fibre production Further improvement in recycling rates requires bottle-to-bottle recycling Technology has progressed to produce rpet of suitable quality for beverage packaging Producer responsibility for recycling (helping to reduce bottlers carbon footprint) *Source: PETCO 14

17 Project Rationale Exceeds Mpact s minimum investment criteria over the period Leverage Mpact s recycling network and converting capabilities Improved environmental performance for Mpact, its customers and the community Job creation in the recycling industry Qualifies for S12i tax incentive 17

18 Other project benefits Environmental benefits 29,000 tonnes of used bottles will be diverted from landfill Estimated saving of 186,000 cubic metres of landfill space CO 2 emissions reduction of approximately 53,000 tonnes per annum Production of rpet requires less energy than the process of creating virgin PET Low energy and water consumption Socio-economic benefits Approximately 1,000 indirect jobs will be created through the collection of bottles 85 direct jobs created Benefits Coca-Cola Southern Africa and its bottling partners (ABI & others) and other users of PET; as they are increasingly interested in recycling the materials they use to package their products Greenfield investments in manufacturing capability in South Africa Innovation Public-private partnerships 18

20 rpet Technology review Considerations for technology selection Coca-Cola approved technology (four approved equipment suppliers) Final product characteristics Capital cost and operating cost per kg Economies of scale Proven technology supplier capability Key learnings from international benchmarking Mpact visited numerous rpet facilities, recyclers and convertors in 8 countries (Germany, France, Austria, Bangladesh, Mexico, Italy, USA and Peru) Require secure raw material supply Require convertor and brand owner commitment Krones Metapure technology is proven 20

21 Technology - Krones Metapure Krones is a major filling line supplier to SABMiller and The Coca-Cola Company globally revenue in 2015: EUR 3.2 billion Krones Metapure technology has: Integrated design and technology developed for rpet Bottle washing plant experience: low water and chemicals consumption combined with wash quality Energy efficiency kwhr/kg of rpet Limited thermal processing improved polymer characteristics 21

22 Progress to date Commissioned on time and within budget Proven capability in meeting exacting specifications Well entrenched quality control protocols The Coca-Cola Company approval in place Market acceptance of Savuka PET 10% rpet in 500ml bottles in Gauteng Successful unveiling on 10 May, with strong support from Government, IDC, ABI, TCCC, SABMiller, and others Healthy raw material supply Mpact Recycling, Remade Ongoing Krones support 22

23 Market approvals The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) approvals Technology Krones Metapure technology (prior to order) Chemical analysis of rpet product (November 2015) Sensory evaluation of Coke in an rpet containing bottle - 10 weeks (November 2015) Facilities audit includes mandatory testing equipment (February 2016) Supplier Guiding Principles (February 2016) Savuka PET has been approved in the packaging of TCCC products at 25% Product converting and bottling trials Physical trials of product run at the converter or the bottlers premises Runability, final product quality Completed for 500ml Coke bottle (March 2016), 2L Coke bottle trial underway Completed at other key food packaging customers 23

24 Key challenges to date Plant availability Power interruptions and allocation (partly resolved) Staff confidence and training (in progress) Intermittent stoppages (being resolved) Maintenance higher than planned Quality Colour (resolved) Throughput Equipment bottlenecks (resolution in progress) Yield - process stability, purge rates (improving) Raw material feedstock quality (in progress) Profitability 24
