This powerpoint goes in conjunction with the presentation I gave at the RSB General Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland on June 2, 2015. Video of the presentation can also be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on1AL3Xg9iA

1. Dr. Paul Pereira
CEO and Chairman
MHG the recognized leader in
biopolymer innovation and manufacturing

2. PHA is a key component
• Necessitates a plant-based oil feed
stock for the microbes
• Ralstonia Eutropha – a naturally
occurring soil bacteria
• Microbes create PHA inside their cell
walls during a patented fermentation
process

3. Our PHA is Different

4. MHG’s PHA lends amazing flexibility to bio based resin formulations
• Facilitates customizable characteristics for end-use
• Resin formulations can be tailored to achieve maximum performance

5. MHG’s resins can compose
many diverse biopolymer
products
• Thermoformed containers
• Molded articles
• Woven and non-woven
materials
• Flexible film materials
• Coatings for paper
• Adhesives
• 3D filament

6. Canola—the Feedstock
• Canola is planted, grown and
harvested through our
Agrofacturing process
• A process that cultivates non-
GMO canola seed to create
feedstock oil for PHA
production
• Partnership between local
farmers and industry
6

7. Canola—the Choice Feedstock
• PHA can be produced with a range of
plant derived fatty acids; Canola has
demonstrated high productivity of
PHA
• Canola in the Southeast US offers a
compelling opportunity
• Adaptive to two-crop rotation by local
farming contingent
• Contributes to soil quality for
following crop rotation vs. depletion
• Allows for utilization of all byproducts
7

8. Locally Grown
• Reduces overall cost of
manufacturing and reduces
carbon footprint
• Farmers can choose two
complete crops; canola
followed by their standard
summer crop (such as corn,
soybeans, cotton or peanuts)
• Provides the grower the
opportunity to double crop
therefore increased incomes
8

9. Canola Oil Production
• Oil is extracted from canola seed
through a cold-pressed process
without the use of solvents
• Resulting oil is a high quality, non-
GMO oil suitable for a range of
applications from PHA to retail
• Canola meal is sought by dairy and
poultry growers as a dietary
supplement

10. Our goal is complete biodegradability
of our biopolymers
• Biodegradation rates can be designed into
the composition from weeks to months
• Food Contact safe
• 3rd party lab certification in all mediums
• Soil
• Home compost
• Industrial compost
• Fresh water
• Marine water

12. • MHG biopolymers provide high
performance for the application
sought at a competitive price
• Once discarded, they disappear
without a trace
• Re-entering the Earth and this
renewable cycle
