Introducing our Production-Ready, Small-Scale and Mobile Combustor
For developing countries, our combustor enables the cost-effective creation of small-scale waste processing, recycling and disposal facilities in small cities (when compared to the modern waste infrastructure alternatives) that we call SMRFs.
For the U.S. and Europe, each unit can provide clean on-site waste disposal to avoid the tipping fees and transportation costs of sending the same waste to landfill.

A NEW, EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO STOP THE OPEN BURNING OF TRASH,
UNCONTROLLED FLY TIPPING AND USE OF UNSANITARY GARBAGE
DUMPS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD AND ISLANDS BY 2030!

3. PRESENTING A NEW PARADIGM FOR WASTE PROCESSING FOR AREAS
<200,000 PEOPLE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD & ISLAND NATIONS
The Big Picture
Saving Billions!
Modern Cell technology, connecting via decentralized yet organized
mobile phone towers, enabled developing countries to be connected
without having to build an antiquated and overcomplicated fixed line
network. The result spurred countries, rural areas and poor to connect,
and have access to more and better information
4. PRESENTING A NEW PARADIGM FOR WASTE PROCESSING FOR AREAS
<200,000 PEOPLE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD & ISLAND NATIONS
In the developed world waste disposal, similar to the “fixed”
telecom structure, is structured in an integrated centralized
collection and disposal process built over hundreds of years.
Current waste structures have been build using massive
infrastructure investments and government subsidies – It is
often not suited for developing countries, and island situations.
The Big Picture
5. 5
PRESENTING A NEW PARADIGM FOR WASTE PROCESSING FOR AREAS
<200,000 PEOPLE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD & ISLAND NATIONS
.
The Big Picture
The developing world is struggling with adopting this massive-
investment, high infrastructure, inflexible model for its largest and
fast-growing cities.
In its smaller cities and rural areas, this structure has no chance of
working as there is not sufficient amount of waste per capita.
Given the high investment requirement and risks involved, by
using the traditional approach, it is impossible to make a business
case
6. 6
PRESENTING A NEW PARADIGM FOR WASTE PROCESSING FOR AREAS
<200,000 PEOPLE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD & ISLAND NATIONS
Introducing Frontline’s Starter MRF (or “SMRF”), anchored by our
revolutionary mobile and small-scale combustor. It transforms the
way waste in smaller cities, islands and rural areas is being
processed. Like the mobile phone network, we see the positive
impact on surroundings where open burning or sending trash into
unsanitary garbage dumps is and has been the rule, not the
exception.
The Big Picture
Our SMRFs create a distributed
network of small-scale waste
processing, recycling and disposal
facilities that can deliver waste
reduction, high recycling results,
healthier environments and offer
real productivity impact – and at
little upfront investment and
maintenance cost

High societal costs. Negative impact for air
quality, water tables, people’s health. In most
countries forbidden due to uncontrolled risks.
Free to people.
Landfill &
Incineration
Landfill done everywhere. More and more
difficult to identify new sites.
Incineration: huge upfront investment and

21. The bounded collection area is where the local waste operator picks up the waste to be sent to the SMRF
A SMRF Can Handle About 25,000 Tons of
Waste from a Bounded Collection Area
• A Starter MRF (“SMRF”) is a central facility where
collected waste (by a 3rd party) is processed on-site,
sorted out (organics, metals, plastics) for maximum
profit and recycling, while minimizing negative
environmental impact
• This facility is anchored by our combustor –which can destroy the leftover
residual waste – after sorting - that normally is sent to an unsanitary garbage
dump or is openly burned within the community
• A SMRF can handle about 25,000 tons of waste. It can expand to handle more
waste to be processed by adding a more modular (and mobile) combustors -1
combustor will allow a SMRF to process an additional 25,000 tons of waste – of
which 5,000 tons (20% leftover) is handled by the combustor
• A city of 200,000 could eventually have a large facility with 3-6 combustors,
depending on amount/type of waste produced by its residents and businesses
21
2
22. 80% of waste is composted, recycled. 20% is sent into our combustor = ~100% never leaves!
The Combustor is the SMRF’s Secret Sauce
22
2
Without the combustor, what would we do with all the leftover valueless waste?
Send it to modern landfill: No! There is none. Too expensive to build.
Bring it to the unsanitary dump: Yes, that’s an option!
Openly Burn it: Yes, that’s an option
Or most likely, never collect it in the first place – which is what happens in these
Small cities today. As waste is everywhere, status quo wins!
23. 80% of waste is composted, recycled. 20% is sent into our combustor = ~100% never leaves!
Each SMRF (With Combustor) Creates
A Waste-Free Impact Zone
23
2
The Impact Zone
This Impact Zone, by definition, should stay Waste-Free as all waste, within these
boundaries, is continuously picked up and sent to the SMRF
100% of waste in the Impact Zone enters the SMRF and potentially only a small amount
leaves the facility, i.e. can’t be combusted and sent to landfill

24
25. • Waste firm must be hired to collect
waste and scale to reach minimum
capacity of 25,000 Tons/yr (up to 500 tons/week)
• Local municipality/government must be
supportive
• Waste collected in public areas (daily) –
an absolute must!
• Waste collected from residences
(at least weekly)
• Waste collected from businesses
(as often as needed)
• These collection areas become “waste-
free” due to disciplined removal efforts

• In most cases, up to 80% of the waste is
organic waste and valuable recyclable

27. • Once organic waste separated, the
SMRF waste operator will find best ways
to process it.
•Ideally, most of the organics are
composted within the SMRF plot of land
itself
• The composted waste can be
repackaged and sold for profit either to
wholesalers or as internal retail product
• In certain local markets, composting
won’t be profitable if scaled up. Other
cost-effective methods to process organics
profitably, using other small-scale
technologies, will be deployed, including
anaerobic digestion.

28. • SMRF pre-identifies types of metals,
and plastics that can command payment
by buyers in market (net of transportation
costs)
• These materials are further separated
out within the piles of inorganic waste
• Material sent to be packaged into bales
that are profitably sold by the ton in
nearby marketplace (net of
transportation costs)

29. • The remaining residual waste (about
20%) is, for all intent and purpose
“valueless” waste
•It is further separated into what can be
combusted and what has to go to landfill
(which should be minimal)
• The combustible waste is prepped (cut
into small pieces) and sent into our
combustor -which will be operated 20
hours/day – where the waste is destroyed
• Any waste ill-suited for our small-scale
combustor will be sent, if possible, to
cement facilities, and any remainders may
be sent to nearby sanitary landfills

30. SMRF Advantages
• Incorporates understood, proven composting/recycling MRF methodologies that
capture about 70- 80% of the processed waste
• Enables low cost “just in time” investment by local municipality compared to big
waste processing centers and modern landfills that require far more waste than what is
generated. A SMRF can grow and process waste as fast as waste is collected
• Expect less need for permitting, due to size, however we will share our monitoring
reports as required with local authorities.
• Collected waste is treated “just in time” which reduces risk of fire, smell, and other
environmental hazards
• Once proven in one location, authorities can distribute these waste processing
centers throughout a local region to effectively collect, recycle and process waste as a
region grows
• Operating a SMRF and corresponding waste collection efforts require many people --
a major job creator

Benefit #3: The Positive Environmental &
Social Impact Of Waste-Free Areas
The SMRF eliminates residual waste from being put back into the community.
Waste isn’t openly burned or sent to unsanitary garbage dumps
AIR LESS “SMELLY”
CLEANER NEIGHORHOODS:
LESS CRIME
35. Benefit #4: SMRFs will be profitable, recover capital
investment costs and be economically sustainable
35
• Assume fair “tipping fees” for taking in and treating collected waste.
• Composting creates fertilizer to sell back to community at profitable, yet
below-market rates
• Valuable recyclables (metals, plastics) will also be packaged for sale and
sold at profit
• Set up costs are small, outside of combustor. Plus, smaller plots of land
required. Ability to create temporary SMRFs for events or place in industrial
facilities.
• Each combustor estimated to last for 20 years and subject to minimal
maintenance costs. Combustor requires 1 to 2 people to run. Low
operational costs and easy to maintain/operate
Bottom line: The SMRF should be operationally sustainable each year after
salaries paid to workers
36. A

Benefit #5: When Waste-Free Areas become the
norm, Local residents will “demand” them!

“Where I live, the streets are
now always clean” says Villager
in Local Area A “and the air
seems fresher.”
Villagers in Local Area B take
notice and want the same
positive changes to their
environment.
Local authorities in Local Area B
see benefits…as do Area C and D
We focus on getting “buy-in”
from adjacent areas to create an
area “tipping point” – and so on..
In most small cities everywhere residents expect government to provide waste collection, now!
Local government can look good by embracing SMRFs and working with the public as partner
37. Benefit #6: Result: No Need to Build Modern
Landfills for Smaller Cities, Islands and Rural Areas
The cost to build modern landfill areas and waste equipment
infrastructure (plants, trucks, etc) is costly -- in the $ multi-millions.
There needs to be huge quantities of waste to justify the investment ROI
On the other hand, a SMRF starts small and can expand to meet full
waste collecting capacity over time. One can add a combustor to a SMRF to
increase the amount of residual waste that can be destroyed
Thus, as more and more waste is collected, the SMRF processes the
waste and by adding more combustors, the waste is still “disappearing”
from the community in a “just in time” way
37
39. • Building a SMRF is economically affordable and achievable as there is no need
to pay for costly modern landfill and fixed volume-heavy waste equipment
• Waste collection becomes easier in participating small cities & rural areas as it
becomes clear that housing values appreciate better where SMRFs operate,
overall health of residents improves, and business productivity increases
• Operating a SMRF is scalable, profitable and sustainable
Assumptions
Result: Big demand for building a SMRF and for our combustor

Eventually SMRFs (Anchored by our Combustor)
Will Be Ubiquitous in all Small Cities in the
Developing World as “Waste Free Areas” Proliferate
See Exhibit 1
for our stepped
strategy
41. By 2020 “Waste-Free” Tourism Areas (Due to SMRFs)
Outperform Areas With “Waste Everywhere”
Assumptions
• Tourism areas that support a SMRF and have “waste-free designation”
will attract more tourists. Work with Sustainable travel industry.
• In remote tourism areas, the cost of electricity (delivery of diesel) is high. A
SMRF can deliver power, too (adding our power module). This makes an even
better ROI use case for them.
• More tourists express disappointment in locations with visible waste, especially
when compared to “waste-free tourist destinations.” This negatively affects
people who want to go to these locations on their vacations.
Result: Hotels & Resorts (with buy-in from Island tourism boards) see the
value of deploying SMRFs and commit to drive local waste firms to not
just participate, but successfully operate them with local government and
tourism-focused business financial support

55. THE BEAUTY OF A SMRF-LED DISTRIBUTED WASTE
MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR A REGION
Each Square=
25,000 tons
On average:
80% organic/recycle
20% residual waste
Start new “cluster” beachheads in different parts of the region. Business
plans must support local operational sustainability. Find passionate waste
collection firms in these small cities within region to further expand waste
management reach

Local government will expand into “adjacent” areas at appropriate times for each
beachhead area based on a local SMRF hitting certain milestones and attaining
operational sustainability. If a local area fails , then move the SMRF facility to
another regional location

N
Eventually SMRFs occupy an entire region. The region now has a
sophisticated army of waste collectors, an effective recycling effort, and
sustainable and profitable SMRFs. Each local area may even have more
than 1 SMRF or 1 SMRF may have more than 1 combustor to meet residual
waste disposal requirements to maintain “waste free areas”

At some point, new large-scale waste processing technology will be available
for the entire region and with collection process in place, individual SMRF’s
may turn into recycling-only MRFs (moving combustor out and used
somewhere else) and a centralized “residual” waste-to-energy facility built to
handle even more waste in each local area.
