Environment - Background 145 million tonnes of plastic is still buried each year globally Ambitious recycling targets but over 50% of plastic ends in landfill 45 million tonnes of PVC is still made every year 1% of the PVC manufactured is ever recycled Other less harmful plastics can be recycled But recycling capacity is patchy Questionable value of some of the resultant recycled products 10 millions tonnes of plastic still landfilled in Europe each year Taking centuries to degrade Leaching harmful toxins into the soil Using Nu Stone reduces plastic in landfill by 60 80% Nu Stone has some genuinely unique post life recycling / reuses 14

15 Environment PVC explored What Greenpeace say... Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is unique in its high chlorine and additives content, which makes it an environmental poison throughout its life cycle. Vinyl chloride is a known human carcinogen. PVC releases dioxin and other persistent organic pollutants during its manufacture and disposal and cannot be readily recycled due to it chlorine and additive content. Furthermore, additives are not bound to the plastic and leach out PVC an environmental poison throughout its life cycle Greenpeace and PVC 1. PVC 2. PU, PS, ABS, PC 3. PET 4. PE, PP 5. Biobased polymers
