production

* 24 million tons per year of plastic waste is not recycled in the EU

Advanced recycling is required to achieve meaningful scale in the circularity of plastic by complementing mechanical recycling.

Strong investment case backed by measurable circularity impact

  • Navigating turbulent times: Pryme acknowledges the challenges but has a clear and actionable plan to address them.
    • Advanced recycling enjoys positive sentiment as opposed to mechanical recycling which is facing challenging times
  • Strong shareholder support: Our core shareholder base (LyondellBasell, Taranis, Invest NL & Infinity Recycling) remains committed, providing stability and confidence.
  • Scalable technology: The scalability of our technology continues to be a cornerstone of Pryme's strategy to produce meaningful volumes with attractive economic returns.
  • Dedicated team: Our team remains intact, motivated, and fully committed to executing our vision to convert plastic waste into valuable products through advanced recycling on an industrial scale.

Pryme expects to deliver above average returns through large-scale plants by applying existing technology to advanced recycling.

Pryme One: starting up installation attracts ample waste supply

Pryme's technology flexibly handles varied polyolefin & contamination contents.

Pryme starting up has attracted firm interest from established waste processors.

Pryme focused on a pragmatic approach to plastic waste sourcing:

  • Pryme integrating with existing waste systems avoids the need for extra investments ensuring a reliable and available feedstock supply.
  • Feedstock producers efficiently convert post-consumer & industrial plastic waste bales.
  • This includes sorting, shredding, gravity separation, dust & metal extraction, drying & densification.
  • The output meets density/moisture standards without solids, safeguarding equipment.
  • The quality of the input bales determines the final polyolefin content.
  • Europe has an adequate supply of baled material meeting Pryme's specifications.

Pryme is currently working with more than 8 waste suppliers.

• These feedstock suppliers provide varying qualities of feedstock in order for Pryme to determine the optimal feedstock blend/mix.

Pryme's electrically heated reactors is expected to achieve temperatures significantly higher than those of the competition.

Strong fundamentals for Pryme and advanced recycling

Pryme focuses on efficiently converting plastic waste into PPO, prioritising volume & scale.

  • Upgraders / petrochemicals demonstrate flexible PPO intake specifications to supply circular products to consumers.
  • Pryme successfully secured, for its first two plants, three PPO sales contracts with prominent downstream players.
  • Market Projections indicate that demand for pyrolysis oil will exceed supply for the foreseeable future strongly supported by EU regulations mandating all packaging material to be recyclable by 2030.
  • ✓The entire supply chain is gearing up for the increased demand from advanced recycling; feedstock suppliers, petrochemicals, chemicals and brand owners.

Shells PPO upgrading unit started up in 2024 and is partly supplied by Pryme One.

Market developments validate Pryme's strategic role in pioneering the circular plastic value chain and focusing on converting plastic waste into plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO).

Pryme One: Production Status (1 of 2)

Focus Areas:

  • Initial focus has been on verifying technology, improving production processes, and optimizing installations rather than maximizing pyrolysis oil production volume.
  • Pryme One serves as a foundational installation for future plants, emphasizing process optimization.

Challenges During Hot Commissioning:

  • Highlighted several areas for improvement despite using proven technology blocks applied in a novel way for processing plastic waste.
  • Low production rates stemmed from intentional learning-focused operations rather than volumefocused production.

Production Challenges:

  • Slow feedstock feed rates and short production runs have limited output.
  • Short runs result in significant time lost during start-up and shutdown processes, reducing overall production efficiency.

Pryme has converted more than 500 metric tons of plastic waste into more than 340 metric tons of pyrolysis oil in 2024 at rates of up to 2 tons per hour of plastic waste input.

Pryme One: Production Status (2 of 2)

Production Metrics:

  • Since early 2024, over 40 production cycles of varying lengths and rates have occurred.
  • Approximately 340 metric tons of pyrolysis oil have been produced, processing over 500 tons of plastic waste.

Issues Identified:

  • Vacuum systems for extruders.
  • Mechanical and sealing issues with the reactor.
  • Fouling in the condensation system.
  • Improvements needed in pyrolysis oil quality.

Outlook:

  • The production is set to resume in March 2025.
  • The ambition to achieve stable production levels in 2025 with continued improvements.
  • More on this on the later slides.

Pryme has converted more than 500 metric tons of plastic waste into more than 340 metric tons of pyrolysis oil in 2024 at rates of up to 2 tons per hour of plastic waste input.

Pryme One: Production Plan

  • In October 2024 an operational plan was developed with the assistance of external consultants with the main goal of proving the Pryme technology, demonstrating short bursts of the nameplate capacity and to validate the economic performance of Pryme One installation (1st half of 2025).
  • Following the above "test phase" of the production plan, Pryme intends to achieve proper production on an ongoing basis during the 2nd half of 2025.
  • The operational plan involves a staged increase in production based on testing and validating operational and hardware improvements before ramping up to industrial volumes. The operational plan incorporates specific actions that are expected to facilitate the testing and demonstration of the capacity of the Pryme One facility and form the foundation for the ramp up of production in the 2nd half of 2025.
  • For 2025, the following production volumes are expected to take place:
    • Q1 2025: up to 200 tons of pyrolysis oil.
    • Q2 2025: 750-1,250 tons of pyrolysis oil.
    • Q3 2025: 1,500-2,500 tons of pyrolysis oil.
    • Q4 2025: 3,000-4,000 tons of pyrolysis oil.

These production volumes represent a reduction vs. the operational plan from the trading update on December 10th, 2024. The reason for this is a leak in a main reactor seal which needed to be replaced. The combined effect of this delay amounts to around 2 months versus the previous production plan.

Please note that in the following financial estimates, the mid values of the above production rate ranges have been applied. The above operational plan and further financial implications of the performance of the Company are not intended as a guidance to Pryme's future performance but rather is intended to inform the market of Pryme's operational ambitions and plans for 2025.

Pryme has developed a detailed operational and production plan for 2025 for Pryme One, the Company's first plant. This plan is designed to ramp up production to industrial volumes approaching nameplate capacity for Pryme One in the second half of 2025.

Pryme: Preparing for constructing Pryme Two

Given the slower progress of industrialization of Pryme One and the rapid and continuous learnings from Pryme One, Pryme has scaled back its immediate rollout plans. The revised rollout plan calls for the construction and commissioning of Pryme Two to be completed by the end of 2028.

  • Pryme One offers valuable insights for our next commercial scale plants. It will serve as the technical basis for Pryme's future plants.
  • Pryme has concluded a pre-feasibility study of potential future plant sites. The number of sites have been narrowed down to 6 sites.
  • The number of sites will be narrowed down to 1 site in the second half of 2025 followed by commercial analyses and permit applications.
  • In parallel, the internal and initial work should be largely completed for a BOD (basis of design) for Pryme's future plants. This will be followed by additional basic & detailed engineering activities*.
  • The speed of the rollout of additional new plants will be determined by access to funding, finalizing terms for each site and obtained permits which all are prerequisites for the start of construction.
  • Some of the workstreams will be overlapping, for example by constructing skid plant modules in order to compress lead-times.

Pryme aims to start production at Pryme's next plant towards the end of 2028 :

• Pryme intends to finalize feasibility studies, obtain permits and conclude project approvals for Pryme Two during the next 12-18 months, pending project funding.

* Pending project funding being obtained.

  • The equity funding will be attempted with primarily existing shareholders. As the production plan has been delayed and reduced, the put option from the December 2024 private placement is not automatically executable by the company.
  • In addition, Pryme is seeking to increase the selling price for the oil by €200-400/mT resulting in around €1.3 million additional revenues in 2025 with the volumes assumed in the above table at the bottom of the desired price range.
    • Market pricing for pyrolysis oil is in the range of €1,200-1,/800/mT.

Please note that the above figures and further financial implications of the performance and outlook of the Company are not intended as a guidance to Pryme's future performance but rather is intended to inform the market of Pryme's operational ambitions and plans for 2025.

Pryme needs to raise additional liquidity to secure operations throughout 2025 and beyond.
