Plasticwasanice invention.But it turnedouttobeanecological
catastrophe. Contrary to glass, humans don’t seem to have any
respect for a plastic object. They are being thrown away
everywhere. The oceans seem to have become the cemetery of

OWR LLC was established to Reuse as much Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) as possible as
beneficiallyaspossible,therebyeliminatingtheneedforClassIlandfills.OWRcanreusemore
than 90% ofMSW, almost all organics, by extensive recycling (~40%), converting unrecycled
plasticsintoSynCrude(~10%)usingaNacksProcessandreusingvirtuallyalloftheunrecycled
organics(~40%+).Theunrecycledorganicscanbe:
• Shred and cleanly consumed by a Fluid BedGasification Boiler to generate electricity
replacinghydro-carbonsas fuel.FluidBedBoilershavevastly improvedenvironmental
and operational attributes compared with the conventional Waste-to-Energy
technology.

Unrecycled Plastics to Oil Module Shutdown Frequency and Anticipated Maintenance
Duration- The Organics to Oil Module is designed to be maintained by a rigorous Toyota
Production System Total Preventive Maintenance System on weekends or during off-shift
periods.
Unrecycled Plastics toOilModule Processing and ProcessManagement-The plasticwill be
stored until needed in a 1st in/ 1st out bunker and then fed to theUnrecycled Plastic to Oil
Module. The reactors use Pyrolysis to convert the plastics into SynCrude, SynChar and a gas
similar to Butane or Propane. TheModulewill consume 3.18 kW of electricity per gallon of
SynCrude produced. SynChar and SynGas is also generatedwhich is conveyed to the Power
Moduletobeusedasfueltogenerateelectricity.

Nacks Incorporated - The Plastic to Oil Technology Provider Name: Nacks Incorporated
Type of Entity: The owner of Nacks, Inc., Kiyoshi Nakajima has designed the 170 reactors that
were built by Blest, Inc. Mr. Nakajima now owns the rights to all of the world except Japan. 5
tons per day (tpd) and 25 tpd reactors have been designed and will be built by E2MC and
Refinery Equipment of Texas under license from Nacks. E2MC will provide the support
equipment in a Turn-Key manner.

Attach a brief summary of the services and responsibilities of each Participating Entity,
limited to one page or less in length for each entity.
Nacks will provide the equipment design for the equipment that will convert the unrecycled
plastics into SynCrude for OWR-Kaua`i. The inventor of the Nacks equipment, Kiyoshi
Nakajima, and his team will work closely with the manufacturer of the equipment, Refinery
Equipment of Texas, during the construction of the equipment. Kiyoshi Nakajima and the Nacks
team will be actively involved with OWR and the EPC at OWR-Kaua`i during the equipment
installation and equipment startup processes.
