Introduction
The "Green" Movement"The future will be green or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of humankind's most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a truly sustainable basis"- Sir Jonathon Porritt, Economist
The "Green Product": BioPlastics• Definition: Plastic derived from a plant based source, such as corn starch or
vegetable oilo An alternative to petroleum-based fossil fuels
BioPlastics Viability• 90% of plastics can be replaced with BioPlastics
o US plastics industry currently grosses $379 billion annually• BioPlastics is expected to take 30% of the US plastics market share by 2025

Technology
• Process = “Cradle to Cradle”o Methane --> Microbial Process --> BioPolymer --
> Products --> Modern Landfill or Digester --> Methane Requires minimal inputs and the byproducts are
recycled back into the patented production process Taking gas and making PHA pellets
Uses: structural plastics (toys, packaging, water bottles, etc)vs functional plastics (cosmetics)

Socio-Cultural
• Traditional and Social Media arespreading the word “Green is in”• People are voting with their dollar for
compostable and renewable products!• Disasters like the BP oil spill are only
exacerbating consumers to cry out for renewable technologies.• People are getting vocal,
“hey pick that up!”

Political/Legal
“Going Green”
• Receiving support on a political level• In mid 2009 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors
approved a measure to improve upon the existing waste management policies.o Residents are now held accountable for improper
disposal of compostable, recyclable, and landfill-destined waste.

Suppliers
• Agricultural: Released from farming• Municipal: Sewage waste/ landfills• Industrial: Bi-product• Stranded: Methane Fields

The Internal Environment
• Resources (tangible and intangible)o A patented processo Intelligence of Staff
• Core Competencies o Developed a patented process to produce PHB from
methane-consuming bacteria, a process that is much less capital intensive and has significantly lower operating costs
![Page 20: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consumers
Consumers: • Plastic converters who extrude, mold, and
form plastic to produce materials such as bottles, toys, plastic packaging, electric casing, and filmsoRubbermaid, Green Toys, Steelcase,
Cereplast
![Page 21: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Strengths
• Produces PHB, requires just 57-77% of the energy required for the production of petroleum-based plastics
• Company uses methane as the feedstock instead of glucose and sucrose, which saves the company 30%o Price is comparable to that of petroleum-based
products, and half the price of other biodegradable plastics
• Higher ROI than other methane useso Such as: to power vehicles or heat/power buildings

Weaknesses
• Have not yet been able to demonstrate pilot scale production capability
![Page 23: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Threats• Plastics Industry on the whole, an unsustainable
industry.
• Greater transparency regarding environmental degradation due to non bio-degradable plastics
• Bio-plastics made from sugars sourced from grain and sugarcane, are in direct competition with world food supplies.
• Petroleum-based products are currently the cheapest and most widely used.
![Page 24: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Opportunities
• Bio-plastics industry-o Undercut Petroleum Market
• Horizontal Integrationo Complementary Operations
ie. Digesters, construction, engineering etc.• Backward Vertical Integration
o Securing future methane supply• Forward Vertical Integration
o Toys, packaging, closing the loop
![Page 25: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Positive Impacton the environment• Best of both worlds
• Lower cost than thosecompeting w/bio and petro-plastic.

Problems:
• Need to Enter Marketo Technicalo Costo Product Acceptance
![Page 28: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Technical Solution
• Financing: Get Out of Labo Loan, Grant, Venture Capitalisto Trade Shows
Clean Tech Openo Department of Agriculture Bio-Preffered Program
![Page 29: Mango Materials](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012901/54755e15b4af9f82528b4674/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cost Solution
• Contact High-End, Specialized Producers • Promote Tax Incentives
o Federal Research and Development Tax Credit "Encourages U.S.-based manufacturers to innovate and invest
back into their businesses in order to compete more effectively on a global basis”

Product Acceptance Solution
• Offer a Free Sample Once they are able to produce at a larger capacityo Children Toys, Construction, Packaging, etc.o Currently many companies want samples of Mango's product
7 liter reactor doesn't allow them the capacity
