Flexible Packaging Manufacturing, Distribution & Use • Consumes less energy, fewer natural resources • Generates less CO2 emissions • Results in higher product to package ratio • Requires fewer trucks to transport, using less fuel & creating less emissions • Provides many consumer conveniences: • Extended shelf life • Easy storage • Microwaveability • Reclosability

Flexible Packaging Creates Less Footprint Less Energy, Less CO2 Emissions, Less to Landfill Beverage Packaging Examples Package Type

All good packaging reduces carbon impact -- reduces waste & increases shelf life.

Thanks to economies of scale, conventional plastics often perform well on carbon footprints.

Bio-derived materials will dramatically outperform fossil-based – once greater economies of scale are achieved.

Package Functionality

A

• Appearance • Strength, Print, Outer layer

B

• Barrier • Protection, Shelf-life, Core Layer

C

• Containment • Sealant, Protection, Inner layer

Functional Performance AGENDA

Conventional Plastics

Exceptional packaging performance: • Moisture & gas barrier

Bio-based Conventional

Identical functional properties as conventional plastics

Compostable

Naturally permeable to moisture • First applications were short shelf life produce

• Optical properties • Lightweight solutions

• Extensive R&D over 5 years has improved barriers
