Our Mission
• Divert and recycle disposable absorbent hygiene products
• Create shareholder value by providing consistent annual growth in revenue and earnings
• Establish partnerships with organizations that promote recycling

Why Recycle Nappies, Adult Incontinence & Feminine
Hygiene Products?
AHPs do not belong in landfills:
• 500 years to decompose
• Contain human waste
• We can salvage the valuable raw materials
Because We Can!
![Page 5: Knowaste in The United Kingdom. Knowaste The worlds first provider of a recycling solution for absorbent hygiene products (AHPs) Disposable Nappies, Adult.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102722/55178f815503460e6e8b58bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• In the UK, about 8 million disposable nappies are used every day.– One baby’s disposable nappies can fill 40 black sacks in a
year – A baby will use 6,000 disposable nappies before being potty
trained (average age 2.5 years)
• Recycling nappies and AHPs helps meet government directives for landfill diversion
Recycling nappies reduces trash sent to landfills and therefore
increases diversion rates.
Because We Should
![Page 6: Knowaste in The United Kingdom. Knowaste The worlds first provider of a recycling solution for absorbent hygiene products (AHPs) Disposable Nappies, Adult.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102722/55178f815503460e6e8b58bd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Because AHP Use is Growing
The use of nappies has increased over the last 20 years due to convenience– 93% of parents feel a bit guilty when throwing nappies out in the trash– 9 out of 10 parents would segregate nappies for collection– 83% of parents would support a fortnightly collection to recycle nappies– 84% of parents preferred nappy recycling over incineration
The population in the UK is aging– People are living longer– Baby boomers are retiring– The fastest growing age group is the over 80 group– At least 50% of nursing home residents in the UK
suffer from incontinence

Because Now we can ALSO Recycle Feminine Hygiene
Products.
• In the UK about 18 million women use sanitary protection products which generate over 200,000 tonnes/year of waste going to landfill
• Through the Knowaste process, this waste stream can be recycled and therefore diverted from landfill
“Sanitary waste is a controlled waste and must be disposed of
under strict legislation” Workplace Health Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992

The Knowaste solution will allow the UK to put into practice a new
approach that focuses on results and measurable improvements.

100% of components can be either diverted or reclaimed or converted to energy with the Knowaste process.
The Knowaste process separates the components.

Organic Residue
• Green Energy
– Utilising the latest gasification technology
– Steam turbine will generate power to operate entire facility and sell to the grid
– Residual heat will be used to dry the recycled plastic

The UK has the highest level of landfill in Europe
Each year, every person in the UK generates 441 kilograms of domestic waste 840 kilograms of commercial waste
80% of municipal waste produced goes to landfill
Approximately 1million tonnes of AHPs such as nappies, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products are produced per annum

West Bromwich will process 36,000 tonnes/year
– Will yield both plastic and organic residue
– Approximately 3,600 tonnes of mixed low density polyethylene and polypropylene plastic per annum will be recycled
– The organic residue will be used in the facility to create green energy– Used to power the plant– Sold to the Grid
