  1. RICYCLEDTM : BIOMASS PRODUCT DELIVERS A NEW DIMENSION IN CSR 28th April 2010 PRESENTED BY: HECTOR INGRAM RICYCLED ASIA PACIFIC SDN BHD

  2. Outline • Introduction to RicycledTM • Biomass turned into a functional product with many benefits • RicycledTM and CSR reporting WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  3. Introduction to RicycledTM Biomass content: 55% - 60% Rice husk waste from Malaysian farms is ground to a powder. Plastic content: 40% - 45% Waste PVC from Malaysia is ground. During the RicycledTM production process the two materials are mixed and extruded into a solid, wood like material. WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  4. Benefits of RicycledTM • More durable than wood: rot free, rust free, termite proof! • Environmental benefits: • Can be used as wood alternative, therefore reducing need for unsustainable wood. Using 1 tonne of RicycledTM can save 3.3 tonnes of forest from being cut. • Diverts biomass and plastic wastes from landfill and therefore reduces the release of greenhouse gases. • Waste generated during production is re-used. • At the end of it’s life the RicycledTM product can be returned to the factory to be crushed and re-extruded into a new product. WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  5. Biomass re-used in RicycledTM • Rice production figures • Rice production in Malaysia is approx 1.8 million tonnes per year. • Equates to 390,000 tonnes of husk per year. • Approximately 60% goes to landfill and 40% is burnt. • RicycledTM reduces negative impacts • Locks up methane: 21 times Carbon GWP over 50 year time frame. • No landfill or incineration required for waste. • Eliminates methane production / green house gas / potential pollutant source / rodents etc. WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  6. RicycledTM : Reducing Carbon Footprint • ‘DOESN’T GROW ON TREES’ • 3.3 tonnes forest stand need to be felled, trimmed & sawn to make 1 tonne of planks. • 1 tonne of RicycledTM extruded planks can be used as an alternative, saving unnecessary felling of trees. • ‘IT DOESN’T COST THE EARTH’ • Locks away methane • Reduces pressure on landfill • Recycling of pre and post consumer waste WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  7. RicycledTM : a New Dimension of CSR Consuming materials like RicycledTM can ‘green’ your business and form part of your CSR activities in the following areas: Reducing carbon footprint Responsible material selection and use Education and awareness Self-regulation and incentives Green Building Index (GBI) WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  8. RicycledTM : Responsibility Procurement practice increasingly selects products with green performance characteristics • Government policies • Multi-national companies conscious of their environmental impact will buy ‘green’ products if performance as good as alternatives. Education and awareness • Changing patterns of behaviour over time to maximise value of waste products, and more careful use of resources. Self regulation and incentives. • Seen as responsible • Doesn’t have to be imposed in a way that is difficult to manage WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  9. RicycledTM : Green Building Index example Materials like RicycledTM can contribute to GBI accreditation: Tax and other incentives for having GBI accreditation WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!

  10. RicycledTM : Summary Responsible use of Malaysia’s agricultural waste • Malaysian technology, born & bred. • Product with performance characteristics as good, or better than current materials it replaces. • Makes economic sense. • Delivers multiple environmental benefits. WOOD THIS GOOD DOESN’T GROW ON TREES!
