Global Carbon Demand for Chemicals and Derived Materials
in 2020 and Scenario for 2050 (in million on tonnes of embedded
carbon) America simply does not have enough recycled

commitments being made by brand owners to
increase recaptured resin content in their bottles.

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…

how products can be delivered to users without the

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.

▪ Avantium entered into a non-exclusive technology license agreement, granting Origin a license to use certain
parts of Avantium’s YXY process technology to enable the conversion of Origin-produced CMF derivatives
into FDCA at a 100 kilotonnes per annum scale facility
▪ Origin also signed a conditional offtake agreement under which Origin Materials will acquire FDCA and PEF
from Avantium’s pilot plant in Geleen and Flagship Plant in Delfzijl to accelerate market development
▪ The partnership aims to bring the technology platforms of both companies together in order to produce FDCA
from sustainable wood residues on an industrial scale. This complements the feedstock options for our
technology

2022: Successful deployment CCU demo units in real-world conditions

▪ A first mobile Volta demo unit operated with the


world’s largest CO₂ conversion cell at an RWE
power plant (Germany), converting CO₂ into formate

▪ A second demo unit was deployed at a Titan cement


plant (Greece), using waste CO₂ to make formic acid
• A third Volta demo unit converts CO₂ into oxalic
acid which can then be turned into glycolic acid

• With glycolic acid and lactic acid, Avantium can


produce the carbon-negative polymer polylactic
co-glycolic acid (PLGA)

• PLGA has an excellent barrier against oxygen and


moisture, has good mechanical properties and is
both home compostable and marine degradable
