Agenda EU strategy on plastics in Circular Economy Vinyloop Ferrara Process Sustainability and circular economy Conclusions

EU Strategy on plastics in Circular Economy Plastics sector is one of five specific priority areas addressed in the “EU Action plan for the Circular Economy”* EU Circular economy principles The value of products, materials and resources must be kept in the economy as long as possible The generation of waste must be minimized Transition to sustainable, low carbon, resource efficient and competitive economy is essential Working with EU authorities (EU Commission, EU Parliament) and Member States to ensure that waste with legacy additives can contribute to the circular economy * COM (2015)614 final

VINYLOOP® Ferrara First industrial pilot plant in the world Laboratory research in Belgium Industrial development in Italy Vinyloop® Plant for PVC waste treatment without fibres (cables, windows, blister,...) with fibres (tarpaulins, flooring, membranes, carpet,…) Today we treat cables and tarpaulins with PVC content >=75% (~9000T/y of scraps) Aligned with VinylPlus voluntary commitment Tackles sustainability challenges 514 913 tonnes of PVC waste recycled in 2015 Goal of 800.000 t in 2020

The VinyLoop Process

Principles Salt Salt Sand Sand PVC PVC Non PVC Non PVC Water Dissolution Filtration Evaporation Salt Salt Heat Sand Sand Solvent Dissolution Filtration Evaporation PVC PVC Steam Non PVC Non PVC

Vinyloop® Ferrara Cable Tarpaulin Copper Fibres RPVC (*) (*) RPVC = PVC + Plasticizer + Filler + additives = similar virgin PVC compound

Sustainability & Circular economy

Virgin PVC Plasticiser Filler

Main Applications Garden Hoses Geo-Membranes Compounds

The value of Vinyloop No other PVC Producer in the World has a process to upcycle composite materials like Vinyloop London 2012 Games Reversed its initial policy and allowed extensive use of PVC for some of the most iconic infrastructures 142,538m2 reused and recycled December 2015 European Commission launched its Circular Economy Package Vinyloop is one of possibly a handful of technologies that can recycle composite materials VINYLPLUS TARGET 2020 : 800 kT of PVC scraps recycling No other technology ‘difficult-to-recycle’ can reach our results

Lower Environmental Footprint -197 m3/t -535 kg Oil / t -1,3 t CO2 / t

Conclusions Recycling is preferred end-of-life option from life cycle perspective. Landfill and incineration mean destruction of resources Vinyloop fulfils EU Circular economy principles Recyclability  Circular Economy Low environmental impact Take back at end-of-life
