Currently available "Green" polymers have various drawbacks and limitations.

Green polyolefins were the first innovation moving away from petroleum-based plastic; however, they are neither biodegradable nor
compostable.
PLA is another alternative with improvement to green polyolefins in terms of compostability; however, it has a lower physical and temperature
tolerance which limits its industrial application and is not biodegradable.
PHA is biodegradable and compostable; however, temperature tolerance and cost-effectiveness are not satisfactory.
Most of these alternative polymer solutions are limited in high-value polymer processing (e.g. injection molding) and application (e.g. rigid
packaging) capability.
Verde has developed PolyEarthylene TM, an innovative product that is proprietary¹, bio-based, recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. We believe
PolyEarthylene™ can efficiently replace petroleum-based plastics using the "drop-in" method within existing manufacturing processes, such as
injection molding, extrusion coating, film extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming. PolyEarthlyene TM is expected to be able to meet high industrial
performance required for manufacturing durable goods and other advanced applications at competitive costs.
More importantly, we believe that Verde is one of the first feasible full-service bio-resin market solutions that have the potential to meet the
environmental, application, manufacturing, and cost requirements of the industry - enabling Verde to set a new standard for environmental
solutions that existing peers are yet to address.

Note: 1. Protected by trade secrets rather than by patents, which is common practice in the conventional polymer industry. 2. Environmental: sustainability and "end-of-life" performance; Cost: sufficiently cost competitive to replace
traditional polymers; Manufacturing / Processing: "drop-in" with minimum adjustment to the existing manufacturing set up and processes; Applications: desirable physical properties for various applications of traditional polymers.
