We won’t recycle or dispose our way out of plastic
600 pollution… Future scenarios focused on collection,
recycling, and disposal alone have been shown to fall
short, with high ocean leakage and GHG emissions…

Note (1) In 2015, FDCA was adopted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In August 2016, FDCA was included in the Plastics Regulation as a food contact material. And in 2021, Avantium released PEF food contact grade,
RP90Nx, that complies with the required regulations of food contact materials, which would allow the use of the PEF resin in direct contact with acetic foods and alcoholic drinks with an alcoholic strength less than 20% as well as with 23
clear and cloudy drinks in the EU & UK.

Note (1) The 2022 ISO-certified LCA shows a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction of up to 83% over the life cycle when Avantium’s plantMEG™ is compared with MEG based on naphtha,
shale gas, natural gas or coal. European LCA standards and methods do not allow carbon discounting based on temporary storage 29
