Cereplast company and products introduction
Citation preview
Public Relations MeetingJuly 14, 2006
Cereplast, Inc. (CERE: “from cereal”; PLAST: “from plastic”) is aleading specialty manufacturer of proprietary bio-resins
Our philosophy meets Sustainability with its three (3) core components– Environmental– Economic– Social
Cereplast has developed two distinct families of bio-resins– Cereplast Compostables™– Cereplast Hybrid Resins™

CEREPLAST COMPOSTABLES™
Cereplast Compostables™Overview
Replaces nearly 100% of the petroleum-based products used in traditional plastics.
Starch-based, made from corn, wheat, tapioca and potato starches that primarily come from the Midwest.
Certified as biodegradable and compostable in the United States and Europe, meeting BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) standards for compostability (ASTM 6400 D99 and ASTM 6868), and European Bioplastics standards (EN 13432).
Commercial Resin Applications
EXTRUSION-THERMOFORMING Plates, containers, packagingINJECTION MOLDING Utensils, cups, containersEXTRUSION BLOW MOLDING Bottles, containersBLOWN FILM Food packaging wrap,
bags, can linersPROFILE EXTRUSION StrawsEXTRUSION COATING Paper coatings
CEREPLAST COMPOSTABLES™
Extrusion-Thermoforming Grades
CP-TH-01C: standard grade created for extrusion-thermoformingCP-TH-15000C greater impact strength and the addition of TiO2 for whiter productCP-TH-6000C: improved HDT of the final product to 155F.
Processing Guidelines are available for the resins
Injection Molding Grades
CP-INJ-01C: standard grade created for injection molding CP-INJ-1001EZC higher flow properties CP-INJ-13C: greater flexibility ,recommended for low temperature applications
Processing Guidelines are available for the resins

BEES ANALYSIS– USDA & CONGRESS
FINDINGS– Resin & Raw material transportation– Fossil fuels used in production: depletion of natural
resources– Global warming Potential: 3.15C02E
CEREPLAST HYBRID RESINS™
• High bio-based content
• Proprietary compounds incorporating traditionalpetroleum based resins with Cereplastproprietary basket of starches
• Targeted towards durable good applications,where end users want a sustainable productoption
CEREPLAST HYBRID RESINSTM
What are Cereplast Hybrid ResinsTM?
Bio-based plastic resins containing up to 50% starch from natural, renewable, and sustainable resources, such as:– Corn – Tapioca – Wheat – Potato
Lesser Dependence on Petroleum Plastic is made of fossil fuels

Biodegradability of Cereplast Hybrid ResinsTM
Renewable and Sustainable alternative to conventional plastic
Cereplast Hybrid ResinsTM meet the requirements for toxicity set by ASTM D 6400-04 specifications
We do not claim biodegradable and compostable as the final result will not be only biomass, water and CO2 per ASTM D 6400-04

What is BiopropyleneTM?
BiopropyleneTM is a patented/proprietary Cereplast Hybrid ResinsTM
Contains polypropylene, starch, a compatibilizerfor starch and PP, and a blend of selective plasticizers to facilitate starch processing Made via reactive twin-screw extrusion processTwo-phase morphology: PP is the continuous phase with a dispersed starch phase.

BiopropyleneTM vs. PolypropylenePerformance & Processing Comparison
BiopropyleneTM has superior Heat Deflection, lower flexural Modulus and lower density than a PP 40% Talc
BiopropyleneTM has lower processing temperature
Better Printability than Polypropylene
Great aesthetic (“satin touch”)
Advantages of BiopropyleneTM
Up to 50% bio-based content derived from natural, renewable, and sustainable resources
Decrease dependence on fossil fuels, namely petroleum
Suitable for more durable goods
BiopropyleneTM cost less volatile compared to PP
Carbon Foot PrintHybrid ResinsTM vs. Petroleum-based ResinsHybrid Resins™ have a better environmental footprint– Up to 42% reduction in intrinsic carbon footprint than PP-Study
with Prof.Ramani Narayan Michigan University– Lower CO2 emissions for Bio-PP vs PP (1.82kg CO2 vs 3.14kg) – The feedstock is made from up to 50% natural, sustainable and
renewable resources– Lower processing temperatures for Bio-PP than PP– When discarded in landfills, the starch component (up to 50%)
will eventually degrade into methane, CO2, water, and biomass
