Positive Impact of Operational Restructure Initiatives
==> picture [237 x 93] intentionally omitted <==
The operational restructure is expected to deliver circa $2.5m fixed cost savings in FY26 from lower manufacturing, operating, and reduced rent-related amortisation and interest. Subject to continuation of current trading and other operational conditions, and maintaining a 25% gross profit margin, MyEco Group expects the recent cost reductions will enable the Company to reach EBITDA breakeven at circa $25m in sales. Initiative Status FY26 Budget Fixed Cost Savings Cost of goods Operating & sold Rent-Related Expenses Rationalisation of Malaysian manufacturing assets to reduce Completed manufacturing and overhead costs Relocation of larger pilot production equipment from Completed Melbourne to commercial plant in Nanjing, China to reduce costs for new product trials and realise efficiencies in upscaling to commercial production ~ $1.0m ~$1.5m Relocation of head office and product development centre to Completed lower-cost premises within Melbourne to reduce both rent and overheads Scale production capacity through strategic partnerships with Production is expected to high-end converters in south-east Asia, to reduce production commence with south-east Asian costs, increase redundancy of supply chains, and increase manufacturers from January 2026 flexibility to meet demand in different geographies

Solving Plastic Waste Cooperative Research Centre • MyEco Group continues to work with the Australian Government funded Solving Plastic Waste Cooperative Research Centre, as well as RMIT scientists, to develop more technologically advanced resins to enhance sustainability and broaden the array of applications for compostable packaging, in particular for food . This collaboration is also generating additional data to enable more informed decisions regarding the acceptance of flexible compostable alternatives to conventional plastic packaging by stakeholders.

- Leader in the Evolving Australian Regulatory and Market Landscape
==> picture [237 x 93] intentionally omitted <==
MyEco Group is committed to advocating for policies that support certified compostable solutions and align with circular economy goals.
==> picture [727 x 726] intentionally omitted <==
• In June 2024, Recycling Victoria released a draft Household and Recycling Service Standard (Draft Service Standard), which proposed, among other recommendations, to ban certified compostable caddy bin liners from Victoria’s new four-stream household waste and recycling system.
• If implemented, this ban would reduce Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) capture rates by up to 30%[(1)] , undermining Victoria’s Circular Economy goals and increasing landfill waste. • The Company has continued to actively engage with the Victorian Minister for Environment and has held productive discussions with the Minister’s office • Whilst no decision has been announced, the Company continues to advocate, in conjunction with the Australian Bioplastics Association (ABA) and the Australian Organics Recycling Association (AORA), for a policy outcome that aligns with other Australian jurisdictions that enthusiastically support certified compostable liners.

FY26 Outlook
-
The operational restructure will reduce costs materially in FY26 , with increased flexibility to scale production using production partners better aligned to support sales distribution at lower capital costs
-
• MyEco Group is confident that its refocused sales strategy and operational restructuring initiatives position it well to drive in medium term
-
long-term sales growth , enhance margins , and establish a clear pathway to achieve positive EBITDA
-
• In Australian retail , continue pursuing expansion of product range at Coles and Woolworths, and growing independent supermarket sales including by expanding network of distributors . Expansion of SKUs are expected. Focus abroad is to grow sales in “big box” store markets in Mexico and Canada to help mitigate uncertainty in trading conditions resulting from recent U.S. Government tariff policy changes.
-
Growth in the council and waste business is expected in FY26 , supported by existing FOGO orders, contracts and pipeline, and as more councils roll out FOGO programs and household participation in food scrap diversion. This trend is particularly evident in NSW, where from 1 July 2026, supermarkets, institutions, and hospitality businesses will be required to implement a source-separated food organics waste collection service
-
• Drive resin sales (in corporate channel), through the establishment of partnerships with key converters who have the opportunity to utilise MyEco Group’s resins for their own customers and for the manufacture of various MyEco products.
-
• Support growth strategy with ongoing innovation in biopolymer technology underpinning the longer-term value of the business committed to driving innovation and active development of new products to extend its product range
