EcoCart: Using Curbside Recyclables in Cart Production Cascade manufactures injection molded carts from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Our material is supplied by the three major petrochemical companies which are Exxon Mobil Chemical, Chevron Phillips Chemical, and NOVA Chemical. Every cart shipped out of our facility contains recycled content either from PCR (post -consumer recycle) or PIR (post- industrial recycle) content. We incorporate recycled content into our products to reduce virgin material consumption, working to create a closed loop system where products are recycled at the end of their useful life and made into something new. Our latest innovation, the EcoCart, is the future of adding recycling content into the carts. In 2021, we became the first container company to integrate household curbside recycled HDPE (Bulky Rigid) into the manufacturing of our carts. Our EcoCart, is comprised of 10% Post Consumer plastics recovered in curbside recycling programs is advancing the circular economy of plastics recycling domestically. Material recycled at the streets, in our recycling carts, is being recovered and then manufactured into new trash and recycling carts. With the addition of other more traditional forms of PCR we are able to produce a product with upwards of 50% total PCR (including 10% recovered curbside PCCR) in the cart depending on the color. The use of recycled content in our carts is comprehensive, as we maximize the recycled content used without impacting the appearance or durability of the cart. www.cascadecartsolutions.com O CASCADE cart solutions a cascade engineering company CART, LID & ART OPTIONS Color Options Cascade manufactures carts in a variety of color options all containing UV stabilization for long lasting color in all climates and environments.

If Cascade chooses to replace the gravity lock andthe original type is no longer available, a comparable gravity lock will be provided instead. www.cascadecartsolutions.com 4CASCADE cart solutions a cascade engineering company EXCEPTIONS Cascade Engineering's carts all meet & exceed ANSI specifications. We have produced over 38 million carts and have over 35 years of experience in cart production. Cascade is offering to provide carts in the following sizes: 96 gallon and 64 gallon. All Cascade carts are known for consistency, durability, and reliability. Dimensions: Cascade Engineering's 96 gallon cart has the following dimensions: 46" x 26" x 34" (H x W x D). Cascade's 64 gallon cart has the following dimensions: 44" x 22" x 27.5" (H x W x D). Cascade's carts meet ANSI specifications. Axle: Cascade Engineering's 96 gallon cart meets this spec with a 0.844" diameter axle. Cascade's 64 gallon cart utilizes a 0.625" axle as this is industry standard for this cart size. Lift System: Cascade Engineering uses a composite lower retention bar. In testing it has been proven to be 3.4 times stronger than hollow steel retention bars. In addition, it has passed over 10,300 lift/dump/double pump cycles with a load of 350 pounds cycling up in the dump position in less than 3 seconds. This is equivalent to 187 years of lifting and dumping at excessive loads and lifter speeds. It has a "one way" mounting feature and is designed so it requires no rivets, screws or push pins to hold the lower bar in place. The bar is not exposed to the contents inside of the container and comes factory installed. Quantity Pricing: The resin cost will be adjusted quarterly (up or down) in accordance with changes in the CMA (IHS) or ICIS (CDI) index for general purpose injection mold HDPE. The index for October, 2025 will be used as the baseline and the pursuant quarterly adjustments will be based on the average index for the previous quarter. www.cascadecartsolutions.com •o• CASCADE cart solutions a cascade engineering company MATERIAL ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE The resin cost will be adjusted quarterly (up or down) in accordance with changes in the CMA (IHS) or ICIS (CDI) index for general purpose injection mold HDPE.
