Strategic Update

Tim Stedman, CEO

We contribute to solving one of the greatest environmental challenges

50%

of plastics are designed for single use ¹

1M

plastic bottles purchased every minute globally ¹

~10%

of the 7B tonnes of plastic waste has been recycled ¹

5 trillion

plastic bags used every year globally ³

400M

tons of plastic waste produced annually ¹

The Linear Plastic System 4

And demand continues to grow

Global Polymer Demand 2020-2040 1

Million metric tons/year

  • Global polymer demand expected to double by 2050
    • Driven by population growth and increasing prosperity
    • Plastic is used across all sectors, with 42% used for packaging 2
  • Chemical Recycling expected to grow to 20-40M metric tons, or 4-8% of the total plastics supply by 2030

Sources: McKinsey ¹, Plastic Pollution - Our World in Data ²

Notes: (1) Polymer demand includes fibers (polyesters and polyamide), excludes rubbers and intermediates. (2) May not sum up to 100% because of rounding. (3) Assuming capital intensity range of US\$1,500 – 3,000 per ton. 13

Agilyx and Cyclyx Continue to Strengthen Differentiation

Focusing our strategy on areas where we have a strong advantage

Agilyx conversion business to refocus on core strengths

  • Macroeconomic backdrop is making customer decision making slower
  • Remain confident in our technology
    • ➢ Successful defence of mixed waste plastic patent against strategic major in France
  • Refocusing on waste-to-product pathways where we can have most impact
    • ➢ Polystyrene with TruStyrenyx, PMMA and BTX
    • ➢ Unique product pathways where we have a clear competitive advantage
    • ➢ Focus on three new projects per year
  • Right sizing our teams to reflect the revised strategy

Cyclyx solves industry-wide feedstock challenge

  • Significant opportunity to service the entire plastic recycling market
    • ➢ Chemical recycling industry is limited by feedstock availability and pricing
    • ➢ Demand for feedstock from mechanical and chemical recyclers has growth significantly
  • Looking at ways that we can meet the increased demand
    • ➢ Will update in due course

Investor briefing on Cyclyx planned for late September
