The relationships we have with the companies and individuals we work with across our entire value and supply chain are important and viewed as an essential part of our success. Our Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Code) and Human Rights Policy outline the expectations we have of our suppliers and contractors. As part of our standard contract terms and operating procedures, key contractors in our timberlands and wood products facilities are provided with our Supplier Code and asked to verify that they have read and comply with its components. In addition, we provide training to these contractors on the Supplier Code.

Healthy sustainable timberlands play a vital role in our business and in the quality of life for the communities in which we operate. We expect those who work with us to follow and implement all forestry regulations and best management practices including water quality, wildlife, and biodiversity. Timberland and real estate suppliers must comply with all federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and any best management practices adopted by PotlatchDeltic to prevent environmental incidents. At our wood products facilities, suppliers and contractors must follow all laws and support our commitment to reduce air emissions, water use, energy use, and waste. Contractors and suppliers and their employees have the right to report environmental compliance concerns on PotlatchDeltic premises by reporting them to local management or by using the Hotline.

We expect those we work with to respect and promote human rights and to be ethical in their relationships with their workers, including migrant workers. Harassment and abusive behavior of all kinds is prohibited. We expect our supply chain to comply with laws regarding working hours and wages, child labor, and the prohibition of forced labor. The safety and health of our Team Members and contractors is a core value in our work environments, achieved through a commitment at all levels.

PotlatchDeltic takes our governance principles seriously to ensure that we run our business in an ethical and transparent manner, and we expect the same from our suppliers and contractors. Company assets and information as well as other confidential information accessed must be protected. Suppliers and contractors must not impair nor appear to impair business integrity and, therefore, they must not offer bribes, kickbacks, or other improper payments to secure or retain business or favored business treatment. PotlatchDeltic expects all those we work with to comply with all applicable anti-corruption and antitrust laws.

TIMBERLAND AND WOOD PRODUCTS CONTRACTORS

The logging companies that work in our timberlands are often run by individuals with decades of experience working in forests, with significant investment in equipment to handle different types of terrain, weather, and differing log sizes. These crews have expertise in understanding harvest prescriptions and best management practices, including protecting streamside management zones and water crossings, and minimizing soil disturbance. Harvest operators also need to be skilled in merchandising, which requires separating logs for different markets based on species, quality, and size.

Suppliers or contractors are also retained for growing or providing seedlings from a nursery, reforestation, silviculture work after the harvest, and managing insects and disease. Planting crews are a critical part of our supply chain, keeping the crucial cycle of harvesting, regeneration, and forest planning intact. Much of this work is done by migrant workers, employed by silviculture contractors under H-2B visa programs, who return year after year to plant seedlings either by hand or by machine, depending on soil type and terrain.

Contractors and subcontractors working in our timberlands must be on our approved contractor list and our foresters track their environmental and safety performance. Where improvements need to be made, we work with them on continual improvement practices. They are trained annually on a wide range of measures including forestry best management practices, threatened and endangered species, and safety policies. To continue working with us, timberland contractors and suppliers must demonstrate good safety records, have current training, and maintain all required insurance.

At our wood products facilities, contractors perform a wide range of work including hauling logs from the woods to the mills, performing environmental testing, maintenance work, and other services, providing supplies, transporting wood residuals to other end-users and capital project. In addition, the range of high technology equipment in a sawmill that maximizes efficiency, productivity, and resources often requires expert maintenance.

The contractors working on-site at our wood products facilities are pre-cleared through an online compliance management system. Contractor and supplier information and requirements are tracked online based on specific criteria we have established, including maintenance of minimum insurance levels and acceptable safety performance. Contractors are regularly monitored and evaluated for their health and safety performance. All contractors working at our facilities must receive training before being cleared to work at our sites. This orientation session includes health and safety training and training on emergency procedures.

The contractors we work with typically live in nearby communities, often where they, along with PotlatchDeltic, are a key economic contributor. They also often participate in these communities through charitable work and volunteering. Being a good corporate citizen is made up of the choices we make every day, and we want to work with others who operate the same way.

Starting a new chapter is exciting, but changes can come with challenges. Supplemental insurance coverage offers the opportunity to meet many of those challenges with confidence. From getting married to buying a new home, supplemental insurance helps ensure the special people in these special moments —have added protection.

Here are a few important chapters that should come with some extra assurance.

Turning 26: Happy birthday! Turning 26 means being old enough to vote, rent a car and be removed from a parent’s insurance policy. Adulting might seem intimidating, but supplemental insurance can add some security to newfound independence.

Getting married: Congratulations! A wedding is a beautiful event, though a marriage license isn’t the only paperwork required. Adding a new spouse to supplemental insurance coverage is an important step in making sure both people have added protection. The new mister or missus must also fill out a continuous coverage verification form.

Planning a family: There’s plenty to check off the list when bringing a new baby home — a crib, cute clothes and tons of diapers. But there’s an important item that needs to be crossed off before the baby is even on the way, and that’s supplemental insurance. Coverage can help provide financial security to protect a growing family.

A new job: Starting a new job means meeting new coworkers and figuring out where to find the breakroom. One way to make the transition easier is to bring along current supplemental insurance coverage. That’s where portable policies come into play, which can follow a new employee to their next opportunity.

Traveling: Lost luggage or a delayed flight are common frustrations for the average jetsetter, but it’s also important to keep bigger concerns in mind. For example, accident insurance still helps to provide protection while traveling, so qualifying medical expenses incurred away from home are covered.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The second life EV battery market is estimated at ~25-30 GWH in 2025 and is projected to reach ~330-350 GWH in 2030 at a CAGR of ~65% during the forecast period, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to fuel a multibillion-dollar market for second-life batteries by 2030, particularly those based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. LFP batteries are ideal for stationary applications like grid energy storage, residential systems, EV charging stations, and data centers due to their inherent safety, long cycle life, and favorable cost-effectiveness. The declining cost of second-life batteries enhances economic viability, especially as new battery prices fall. At the same time, their reuse supports a circular economy by reducing the CO2 emissions by several tonnes annually and mitigating raw material scarcity. However, several critical challenges could hinder the recovery and repurposing process, including the absence of standardized protocols for accurately assessing battery health, the complexities of integrating these batteries into diverse applications, existing regulatory ambiguities, fragmented supply chains, and inadequate reverse logistics infrastructure.

Utility-scale grid services hold the largest share of the second-life EV battery market.

Utility-scale grid applications dominate the actual usage of the second-life EV battery market. These repurposed batteries are attractive for grid applications due to their cost advantage (up to 70% cheaper than new batteries in 2025) and their suitability for less-demanding, lower-cycle stationary uses, such as grid balancing, renewable energy integration, and backup power. Further, these batteries also excel in frequency regulation, peak shaving, and power arbitrage by leveraging their residual capacity for 100-300 cycles annually. Most global players utilize these batteries for energy storage, leveraging renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Major OEMs such as Volvo, BMW, Nissan (in collaboration with Sumitomo), and Volkswagen are partnering with energy providers and startups to repurpose retired EV batteries for stationary storage projects. For example, Volkswagen Group’s partnership with Audi and the energy company, E.ON, has initiated projects using used EV batteries to stabilize grid loads and manage peak demand.

With the strategic shift away from coal-powered electricity, microgrids supported by solar and wind farms are expected to experience significantly higher demand for second-life EV batteries across Europe, the US, China, and other Asian countries for grid-scale energy storage. In addition, advancements in battery management, modular system design, growing policy momentum for the circular economy, and energy security would prompt the demand for second-life EV batteries for this application. Although the environmental advantages are significant, the dependence on subsidies (like EU & US DOT grants) and volatile electricity prices may limit profitability, leading to growth that is mainly concentrated in specific regions. In case costs decrease further or supportive policies are constantly updated, the demand for second life EV batteries is likely to expand in commercial & residential storage as well.

Lithium-ion batteries exhibit the maximum demand in the second-life EV battery market.

Lithium-ion battery technology dominates the market, as more than 95% of electric vehicles, including passenger and commercial vehicles, are installed with this battery technology. Decades of advancements have led to their high energy density, long lifespans, and quick charging & decreasing cost is also expected to make it more affordable and accessible to consumers.

Lithium-ion batteries are advantageous for second-life applications due to their predictable state of health (SoH) retention and established performance benchmarks. Repurposers plan their testing and sorting strategies based on dominant chemistries (LFP and NMC) using tailored diagnostics that assess capacity, internal resistance, cycle count, and safety parameters aligned with each chemistry’s characteristics. LFP batteries often require less intensive safety testing, while NMC batteries demand more rigorous monitoring due to their higher energy density and sensitivity to degradation. These focused testing protocols help maximize utilization, reliability, and safety in various second-life applications such as grid storage and commercial energy solutions. The continued predominance of lithium-ion technology is expected to remain strong, with second-life battery applications playing a vital role in advancing the global energy transition. Advancements in battery management systems, advanced diagnostic tools, and digital tracking solutions will further enhance the effectiveness and profitability of battery repurposing companies focused on this battery technology. However, there are certain challenges with this battery chemistry. For instance, if some supply-related drift (like 20% price hikes in 2024) and safety-related concern persists, the traction may shift to other alternatives like nickel-zinc or flow batteries. Also, it provides high energy density, but exhibits annual capacity loss of around 2-3% under typical usage, and inconsistent performance among batches, facing consistency and reliability issues, and challenges to reach ~250 GWH demand estimates by 2030.  Though it carries significant cost benefits, their long-term viability depends heavily on the scalability of recycling processes, and government programs might impact unregulated markets.

North America is expected to be the leading market in terms of the installed capacity of second life EV batteries.

North America leads in installations due to its advanced grid infrastructure and strong policy incentives. These second-life EV batteries are likely to be used at data center stationary energy storage, microgrids for telecommunications and commercial backup, EV charging buffer systems, and domestic solar and grid-support systems. The US is the leading market in the region, with one of the most extensive retired battery stocks in the coming years that can be repurposed for various applications. Projects are consistently scaling, with single sites exceeding 50–60 MWh, and pipelines of new installations in development. Redwood Materials (US) operates the largest microgrid using second-life EV batteries with 63 MWH capacity in Nevada, powering a data center. It also has a pipeline of>1 GWh for various stationary applications. Other regional companies like Moment Energy, B2U Storage Solutions, and Smartville are scaling up production and deploying second-life EV battery systems for energy storage. Additionally, the region is poised to experience an emergence in the second life EV battery storage investments, propelled by ambitious government programs and large-scale industry initiatives. All these factors would lead North America to redirect hundreds of GWh per year of spent EV batteries into second life storage assets, gaining substantial environmental and economic gains by the decade’s end.

The growing need for biodegradable and compostable plastics in the consumer goods, packaging, and agricultural sectors is propelling the global market for PBAT. Because of its high elongation, flexibility, and compostability, PBAT is a popular substitute for conventional plastics. The adoption of PBAT is being accelerated by growing government regulations that forbid single-use plastics in areas like Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific. Key growth drivers include laws requiring compostable packaging, policies encouraging extended producer responsibility (EPR), and goals to reduce plastic waste.

The market is expanding due to a combination of regulatory support, rising consumer awareness of sustainability, and demand for environmentally friendly packaging options. The material’s market appeal is increased by its suitability for industrial composting and compatibility with PLA and starch. To keep up with the growing demand, top manufacturers are increasing their production capacities, especially in China, South Korea, Germany, and the US. The market is also being driven by corporate commitments to sustainability, the development of composting infrastructure, and technological advancements. Nonetheless, issues like increased production costs and inadequate composting infrastructure in developing nations continue to exist. Strong environmental, regulatory, and consumer trends are expected to propel the growth of the global PBAT market.

Extrusion segment to record the highest CAGR in the PBAT market during the forecast period

The extrusion segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, due to its wide range of applications and compatibility with biodegradable polymers. Extrusion is a vital process in several industries, including packaging, agriculture, and hygiene products, as it is commonly used to produce films, sheets, and agricultural mulch films. PBAT is particularly well-suited for extrusion-based applications due to its excellent processability, flexibility, and tear resistance, especially when combined with PLA or starch. The demand for PBAT-based extruded products is driven by the growing global emphasis on replacing single-use plastic films with compostable materials. This trend is particularly strong in Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific regions, where regulations mandate the use of compostable materials for bags and packaging. Additionally, the rise of eco-conscious brands and retailers opting for sustainable packaging is fueling the demand for PBAT films in applications such as food packaging, shopping bags, and waste bags. To enhance film quality and production efficiency, manufacturers are increasingly investing in advanced extrusion lines specifically designed for biodegradable resins. The adoption of PBAT in the agricultural sector is also speeding up as more sustainable practices are embraced, such as the use of compostable mulch films. This segment is well-positioned to significantly contribute to the rapid growth of the PBAT market, supported by increasing end-user industries, stringent plastic regulations, and technological advancements in extrusion processing.

Films, sheets, & bin liners segment to account for the largest share of the PBAT market during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the films, sheets, and bin liners segment is expected to hold the largest share in the global PBAT market. The widespread use of PBAT in consumer goods, packaging, and agriculture—where flexibility, durability, and compostability are essential—drives this dominance. PBAT is ideal for products such as shopping bags, trash bags, food packaging films, and agricultural mulch films due to its exceptional mechanical properties, including high elongation at break, tear resistance, and compatibility with other biodegradable polymers. Governments around the world, especially in Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific region, have implemented bans on traditional plastic bags and mandated the use of biodegradable alternatives. This has led to an increased demand for PBAT films. Additionally, these films are favored for residential and commercial waste disposal applications because of their environmental benefits and ease of processing. In the agricultural industry, PBAT-based mulch films present a more sustainable alternative to conventional polyethylene films, as they can break down in soil without harming crops. The growing emphasis on packaging and sustainability trends, particularly in the food service and retail sectors, is further driving the demand for PBAT-based films and sheets. As a result, this segment represents the largest source of revenue within the overall PBAT market, reflecting its strong and diverse demand.

North America to register the second-highest CAGR in terms of value and volume during the forecast period

Due to a strong regulatory push, increasing consumer awareness, and rising demand for sustainable packaging, North America is expected to register the second-highest CAGR in the global PBAT market during the forecast period. In response to growing concerns about plastic waste and environmental sustainability, the region—especially the US and Canada—is rapidly shifting toward compostable and biodegradable alternatives. Key factors for this shift include the implementation of state and local plastic bans, such as California’s SB 54 and Canada’s national single-use plastic ban, which are driving significant demand for PBAT-based applications. The demand for PBAT is further bolstered by the rise of environmentally friendly retail practices, the increasing use of biodegradable products in e-commerce and retail, and the growing adoption of sustainable foodservice packaging. Additionally, North America’s advanced waste management systems and rising investments in industrial composting infrastructure facilitate the implementation of PBAT in various industries, including waste bags, shopping bags, agricultural films, and food-contact materials.
