The Viridis Journey
Viridis Story: Chapter 1
In 2007 EQP started an R&D project aiming to increase the sustainability of its products by using a certain % of r-PET.
The R&D study led to the definition of a patented techonology to feed flakes (WO 2012/041436 A1) aiming to use up to 10% of rPET as feedstock replacing fossil raw material
The key components of the process are:
•Patented technology to feed flakes
•Color Matching System
•Definition of proper flakes specifications
EQP launched with the support of The Coca Cola Company in Q4 2009 Viridis 10 a PET grade containing up 10% rPET
Viridis Story: Chapter 2
• In Q2 2016 EQP and Coca Cola started the discussion to frame a LOU on Viridis 25, based on EQP in using rPET as feedstock in the virgin PET production.
▪ Manufacturing Start-up: Q4 2019▪ CO2 Emissions: - 54%
*Coca Cola/ EQP joint statement for press release
EQP / Viridis 25 contributes to Coca-Cola's global strategy of a "World Without Waste" by increasing the amount of
recycled material in its PET bottles *

Takeaways…
• Waste collection limitations. Incentiveschemes.
• Quality of PET flakes. Not all Plastics arecreated equal.
• Regulatory framework as driver forpromoting behavioural changes
• Collaboration accross value chain is thekey sucess factor in closed loop recycling.
