SKIVE PROGRESS REPORT (I)

SKIVE PROGRESS REPORT (II)

  • 32% of all plastic packaging ends up in ✓ We are able to reduce impurities and upgrade products
  • … and only 14% of plastic packaging is ✓All production to date can be used by BASF
  • ✓All safety systems works well
  • World's oceans will contain more plastic than fish in 2050 ✓Ongoing optimisation process to ramp up one line to full capacity

PRODUCTION OPTIMALISATION

Production challenges in ramping up:

  • … and only 14% of plastic packaging is ✓High amount of non-condensable gas (NCG) produced in the pyrolysis reactor due to high reactor temperature and low plastic feed rate.
  • World's oceans will contain more plastic than fish in 2050 ✓On set of wax production due to low plastic content and increased residence time of pyrolysis gas in reactor.
  • EU to increase recycling to 50% by ✓Amount of NCG higher than downstream capacity

PRODUCTION OPTIMALISATION

Progress and process:

  • ✓NCG reduced from 80% to 40%
  • … and only 14% of plastic packaging is ✓Process line rebuilt to allow for higher amount of NCG (100%)
  • ✓System to cool first part of reactor installed
  • World's oceans will contain more plastic than fish in 2050 ✓Changed operations to decrease time within the reactor in the build up phase
  • EU to increase recycling to 50% by ✓Changes are time consuming, but we will get there

PRODUCTION RESULTS

  • ✓Distilled fractions are within the BASF acceptance specification at this stage
  • ✓Sulphur and chlorine are decreased in the liquids produced
  • … and only 14% of plastic packaging is ✓Ash and other impurities are removed
  • ✓Distribution between lighter and heavier fractions is as anticipated
  • World's oceans will contain more plastic than fish in 2050 ✓The output confirms the core and the uniqueness of the proprietary Quantafuel technology
  • EU to increase recycling to 50% by ✓Further improvements expected at full capacity

REPLAST – COMPANY PROFILE

9

✓Based in Kristiansund, Norway

  • ✓Together with Quantafuel, facilities will be scaled for both mechanical and chemical production up to 20,000 ton/yr
  • ✓Infrastructure and access to own harbour
  • ✓In operation producing plastic feedstock/pellets from mechanical sorting process
  • ✓Established in market- and end-product segment

• Experienced working with difficult and mixed plastic waste fractions

  • Proven feedstock, production and quality of sorted material
  • Already tested and approved produced quality of chemically recycled oil-products from feedstock-material made by Replast

2020 LCA by BASF show that chemical recycling and mechanical recycling have a similar CO2 footprint. Quantafuel aims for less than 1,000 kg CO2

  • 80% of plastic feedstock becomes liquid product
  • 10% ash fraction, can be used by cement industry as GHG reducing measure
  • 10% non-condensable gas (NCG), used to power our process

  • All of our liquid product upgraded to new plastic, none used as fuel

  • Helps Europe achieve recycling goals
