Avantium’s Approach

Moving to 100% green

• PET is the most widely used polyester made of PTA and EG

• Plantbottle launched in 2010 - PET with biobased EG and oil-based PTA

• PEF by Avantium: biobased FDCA + biobased EG = 100% green

The key questions

Compared to oil-based products…

• Can YXY compete on price?

• Can YXY compete on performance?

• Can YXY deliver a significantly better environmental footprint?

PEFThe next generation bioplastic

• 100% Biobased (e.g. carbohydrates such as sugar and starch)

• 100% Recyclable• Competitive process economics• Can be processed in existing supply chains• Highly attractive carbon footprint (50-70% lower than PET)

• “We’ve got barrier!”:– 6 times better O2 barrier than PET

– 3 times better CO2 barrier than PET

– 2 times better H2O barrier than PET

Summary

• YXY: a proprietary chemical process that unlocks a range of new green materials and fuels

• Supported by feedstock suppliers, producers and brand owners, creating an integrated value chain

• Big opportunity for sugar and starch producers

• Technical drop-in with improved properties (e.g. superior barrier)

• Pilot 2011, First Commercial 2015, Second Commercial 2018

• YXY: the green alternative to oil-based products that will deliver on price and performance
