Avantium’s Approach
Moving to 100% green
• PET is the most widely used polyester made of PTA and EG
• Plantbottle launched in 2010 - PET with biobased EG and oil-based PTA
• PEF by Avantium: biobased FDCA + biobased EG = 100% green

The key questions
Compared to oil-based products…
• Can YXY compete on price?
• Can YXY compete on performance?
• Can YXY deliver a significantly better environmental footprint?

PEFThe next generation bioplastic
• 100% Biobased (e.g. carbohydrates such as sugar and starch)
• 100% Recyclable• Competitive process economics• Can be processed in existing supply chains• Highly attractive carbon footprint (50-70% lower than PET)
• “We’ve got barrier!”:– 6 times better O2 barrier than PET
– 3 times better CO2 barrier than PET
– 2 times better H2O barrier than PET

Summary
• YXY: a proprietary chemical process that unlocks a range of new green materials and fuels
• Supported by feedstock suppliers, producers and brand owners, creating an integrated value chain
• Big opportunity for sugar and starch producers
• Technical drop-in with improved properties (e.g. superior barrier)
• Pilot 2011, First Commercial 2015, Second Commercial 2018
• YXY: the green alternative to oil-based products that will deliver on price and performance
