II. Circular Economy &

EPR – Extended Producer Responsibility

10

Business Case: Extended Producer Responsibility - EPR

Measure to the positive influence of creating emerging markets

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a waste management framework that seeks

to shift the responsibility for managing the end-of-life of a product from the

government and taxpayer to those in charge of designing and producing the product

Producers and distributors have to think of the end of life of their products already at

the point of production

Products have to be designed in such a way as to reduce waste occurrence and allow

environmental friendly recovery and recycling

28 EU Member States’ inhabitants (~ 508 Mio.)

280 – 670 kilograms of household waste/p/year

25 – 30% packaging waste

went/still go to landfill

Waste: Background in Europe from the 90s to today

World’s waste problems still grow

The Concept of EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

in Germany, Europe and worldwide

ecological effects:

climate change carbon footprint protection of natural resources CO2 minimization

but also business cases:

new business opportunities new markets competition creates innovation innovation creates new future markets

14

Recycling reduces CO2 emissions

Positive impact of collecting and recycling of packaging waste

The use of secondary raw materials in place of primary raw materials protects the

environment and reduces the CO2 emissions

Already today, the collection and recycling of packaging material by privately organized

schemes in Germany contributes to more than 20% of the Kyoto Protocol

ASCON Holding with its privately organized schemes will recycle more than

a half million tons of packaging in the year 2016

ASCON contributes to more than 2% of the German share of CO2 reduction according to the Kyoto Protocol

15

Resource Management as Investment Opportunity

Facts & Figures

Households solid waste generation

including light weight packaging

Europe 390 – 630 kg capita & year

USA 890 – 990 kg capita & year

Brazil approx. 1.000 kg capita & year

UAE 1,190 – 1,390 kg capita & year

16


Facts & Figures

Demand of plastic

Europe 490 kg capita & year

USA 660 kg capita & year

China 50 kg capita & year

India 18 kg capita & year

figures show the enormous market opportunities in South East Asia

today, China imports 13.5 billion tons of plastic waste

statable increase of plastic use of 1 kg per capita and year

increase of plastics’ demand of 1.500.000 tons

17

Causes of Market Changes

Increasing demand for secondary raw materials from East and South-East Asia

Distribution of the demand for the

most populous countries of China

and India

India:Customer of specific clean material groups

China: Demander of all different polymer groups

18

Global Exports of Waste

Strict Regulations

1. Basel Convention divides waste world-wide and classifies them strictly according to

so-called green and red list (notification procedure)

2. Sender state has to apply for waste shipment from Europe and transports within

Europe with a so-called Annex 7

3. Waste control in the shipping channel ports, return to the shipper if applicable

4. Waste control in the country of destination and return of the containers to the

shipper if applicable

19

Global Exports and Imports of Waste

International Trade with Waste

Waste commodity exchanges reflect material-related quotes stock suitable

Waste streams are today indispensable in many industries

German glass industry uses more and more used glass

Germany is importer of used paper

New products from waste or secondary raw materials determine our lives unnoticed far

more than we realize

The Worldwide Circular Economy Market

No dirty business but sustainable conservation of resources

2015:

Worldwide revenues: 11.6 billion €

Germany‘s market share: 10 %

3 % of Germany‘s electrical power will be produced out of waste = 19 Mio. MWh

Fact

No Doubt:

Worldwide Secondary Raw Material Markets andworldwide Resource Management

will be one of the promising and lucrative business cases

and therefore highly demanded investment opportunities in the next years

III. Brazilian Waste Management

Facts & Figures

increasing recycling by around 7.2 percentage from 2010 to 2014 (source: ABRELPE, Brazilian

Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste Companies)

but also increase in waste production from 2003 to 2014 by 29 percent to 78.6 million tons

growth of Brazil population form 2003 to 2014: only 6 percent

waste creation:

in Brazil more than 1.000 kg/person/year

in Germany 614 kg/person/in 2014

Facts & Figures

30

the way of waste: according to ABRELPE, > 41 percent of solid waste ware deposited in

dumpsites and unregulated landfills in 2014

in 2013, 41.7 percent of waste were not adequately treated

conclusion:

more than 78 million Brazilians or 38.5 percent of the population don’t have access to adequate waste treatment services

in 2008, around 50 percent of the Brazilian municipalities disposed waste in areas without proper precautions, so called lixões

less than 12 percent of the cities had facilities to sort organic waste

32

results:

from 06/2010 until 03/2016 around 9,000 tons of glass were sent to recycling

corresponds to 19 million bottles of spirits

around 4,800 tons carbon emissions were avoided

4,300 MWh of energy and 11,000 tons of raw materials were saved

IV. Change of Waste

Implementation of an Advanced Waste Management Collection and Treatment

System in Brazil

The Road to Zero Waste in Brazil

Background in Europe

Decreasing waste quantities in the main EU Member Countries because of a tremendous paradigm

change caused in the 1980s by immense problems with piles of garbage and by landfilling:

contaminated groundwater, intoxicated grounds

Solutions were needed to reduce waste and to stop landfilling

Instead of the “end-of-pipe-thinking” implementation of a Closed Cycle Economy:

Political regulations for waste reduction and recycling since 1994

Recycling and recovery rates in Europe

Successful implementation and operating of recycling capacities

Impact on society and economy:

“Sustainability” has become a major subject on economic, ecologic and also social levels

People and companies have built up strong environmental awareness

Essential requirements

1. Safe landfills for domestic waste, in order to prevent massive environmental and

health damages

2. Because of the climatic conditions in Brazil and single-bin collection, the waste

should be pre-treated bio-mechanically before sorting

3. Sorting of pre-treated domestic waste quality enhancement by modern sorting

facilities

Three steps to a successful Resource Management

in Brazil

41

1st Step: Construction of new Landfills

the cost-effective, safe construction and operation of a landfill requires holistic and long-term planning

2nd Step: Bio-mechanical Treatment as possible Fertilizers

Treatment and Loading

the combustible material is stored temporarily in high shelters

after the rotting process and bio-mechanical treatment use as possible fertilizers for agriculture

industry


in Brazil

42

3rd Step: Separation of Recyclables and marketable Materials

Winning of Recyclables

The ASCON concept provides further treatment of the dried material:

reduction of metal

liberation of PO mixture by means of NIR technology, from which a PO agglomerate might

be obtained

in addition, PET can be separated, and of course composites

selling recyclables to the worldwide international raw material markets
