8 Resource Management Upstream Perspectives Zero waste achieved at zero additional cost with zero additional environmental impact Zero waste equates to finding the highest value use for process residuals and byproducts. Lifecycle analysis and full cost accounting used to assess impact of options for residuals, byproducts and waste materials.

9 Upstream Resource Management Value Drivers

10 Resource Management at an Aluminum Company Capture system for recovery and reuse of industrial byproduct Yr 1 Yr 3 East Plant 2.0% - 76% West Plant 0.3% - 86% Cost Savings Year 1 Savings = $566, Year 2 Savings = $540, Year 3 Savings = $324, Total Savings = $1,430,982.84

11 Resource Management at an Automotive Company Internal material handling and recovery systems: 7 Assembly Plants, 6 Powertrain Plants, 2 Stamping Plants, 1 Casting Plant, 1 Machining Plant, 1 R & D Facility, 2 Parts Distribution Center Total annual cost savings in Year 3 of the Program = $2,155,969 $1.00 RM Services Drive Down Product Cost Total cost for Trash, Cardboard, and Pallets (including rebates) Cost per Vehicle $0.80 $0.60 $0.40 $0.20 $0.00 $0.37 $0.25 $0.06 $ Year

12 Resource Management: WM-GreenOps Retail and Consumer Case Studies

13 Consumer Product Supply Chains, Waste & Trends CPG Supply Chain Sourcing Manufacture Distribution Retail Consumption Waste Volume Low Low Low Moderate High Select Trends Mass availability of brands in different retail channels SKU proliferation consumer choice confusion Growth of self loyal, low involvement consumer 41MM LOHAS ( green consumers) in US Focus on end of life product/package responsibility

14 WM GreenOps GreenOps Physical Capture and Engagement Green tracking symbol State of the art product capture systems Point of use reward systems WM Assets Authentication/verification/best practice Green Squad Reverse logistics WM Hauling/Tracker Mailback Commodity processing Recycle America Greenopolis Digital Engagement & Rewards Green social network Customized channel management (CPG/Retail/Consumer) On-Line rewards platform

15 WM Greenops Capture System Greenops inclusion on 1 2 Consumer purchase, packaging consumption, disposal choice 3 Product recapture, data collection, and tracking GreenOps Rewards 4 Pickup, backhaul, and commodity ID & support 5 Beneficial end-of-life reuse such as recycled, reprocessed products or green energy ECOSTATION automated Recapture Using Key Fob Consumer rewards & incentives Consumer Info and package data Data Verification, Accreditation, Tracking, Best Practice Reporting

16 Value Requirements Voluntary commitment to green end of life management GreenOps Tracking Symbol Greenopolis partner page GreenOps Eco-Stations - container/ capture/tracking WM reverse logistics and processing infrastructure Greenopolis partner page Individual offline green action Myopolis account Greenopolis rewards

17 Closing Thoughts Resource Management presents a significant, practical way to achieve sustainability goals Process improvements, tech innovation, behavioral change, systems thinking, and aligned incentives are to success in all segments Large industries have made significant progress Commercial and retail is the next wave Consumer driven RM has the potential to fundamentally change the game...
