Challenges in Film Industry Major trends that will drive future innovation needs. Food Safety & Freshness - 50% of food is today wasted due to packaging, its size or logistics - Barriers & tight seals Sustainability - Renewable feedstock resources - Full life cycle measures Source reduction - Down gauging / light weighting - Improved logistics - Recycling Convenience - Easy to handle - Optics / soft touch - Retorting & preservation Efficiency & Simplification - Substitution of expensive multilayer packaging structures - Savings of processing steps - Improved processability / energy reduction - Simplified recipes Access to medical treatment - Emerging countries need medical treatment global supply Speed of Innovation - New features emerging - Being different and better vs. others Packaging performance Sustainability Cost effectiveness 5

Stiffness/toughness Balance 13
Borshape FX1001 in Kuhne long neck process 35 µm film for frozen food packaging A (25%): mlldpe + LDPE +30% B (50%): FX1001 + white MB Borshape rich film allows high output rates in high neck process Toughness is improved, other mechanical properties are kept on same level +60% 14
Technical Benefits for Boshape Beneficial physical properties Superior toughness/stiffness balance Best puncture and impact at -40 C Matt/Frosted surface (COF/Design) High hot tack and sealing strength Low gel level Low extractable Low taste and odour Full approvals in food and medial pkg Excellent Processability Processability close to LDPE Improved production regularity No melt fracture with narrow die gap Mono, Co-extrusion and blending 15
What Does it Mean for the Value Chain? Converter Packer Brand Owner End User PERFORMANCE High throughput; Stable film production (reduce bubble breaks, good thickness distribution); Higher packaging speed; High packaging integrity; Package content preservation; Improved convenience SUSTAINABILITY Lower energy consumption Reduced scrap rate Lightweighting potential of > 20% Recyclable Green image Cost effectiveness High operability rates; Higher volume/extruder; Reduced production cost Reduced cost of packaging/ton of packed product; Lower scrap rates; Reduced cost of packaging Reduced green dot fees Brand loyalty 16
BorShape end uses White matt surface film 40 µm Application examples Frozen food; mail bags; Liquid packaging. A (25%) Borstar FB4230 Matt distinct look with Borstar surface layer; Low CoF surface for easy filling. B (50%) BorShape FX1001 + White MB For toughness, stiffness, hot tack and processability C (25%) mlld(70%) + FT5236 (30%) Sealing layer 17
Borshape end uses White film 100 µm Application examples Lamination (ex: Pet Food) A (25%) FT5230 For CoF control, gel free surface and cost optimisation B (50%) BorShape FX1001 + White MB For toughness, stiffness, web planarity and high reel quality C (25%) mlld(70%) + FT5230 (30%) Sealing layer and optimised CoF 18
Borshape end uses Transparent film - 40 µm Application examples Consumer packaging (Hygiene overwrap; produce bags) A (20%) mlld(90%) + FT5236 (10%) For good optical properties (haze and gloss) B (60%) BorShape FX1001 For toughness, stiffness, hot tack and processability A (20%) mlld(90%) + FT5236 (10%) Sealing layer and good optical properties 19
Borshape end uses Transparent stiff film - 40 µm Application examples Consumer packaging (ex: Diaper packaging; FFS packaging); lamination film (pouches) A (20%) mlld(90%) + FT5236 (10%) For good optical properties (gloss) and sealing B (60%) BorShape FX1001(60%)+BA110CF(40%) For toughness, stiffness, hot tack and processability C (20%) FT5236 For CoF control and cost optimisation 20
