The primary industrial waste streams that were recycled were cardboard packaging, wood pallets, and plastics related to products or packaging. New questionnaires about waste were sent to non-industrial sites for the first time during 2013 in recognition of their increased significance in the Group EHS profile due to headcount and surface area. It helped these sites begin to focus on their waste streams, although work remains for 2018 to more completely measure and categorize this waste generation.

For 2018, the overall reported non-industrial waste was significant at about 4.2% of the Group total tonnage, with approximately 94 tons of hazardous waste from non-industrial locations (batteries, mercury-containing bulbs, e-waste). New for 2016 was the first recognition of organic composting as part of recycled waste, with about

55 tons reported during 2018.

RAWMATERIAL USAGE The Group sources all raw materials externally. These are always industrially processed raw materials. The main raw materials consumed by the Group’s businesses in 2018 were:

WASTE HIGHLIGHTS The Guadalajara site created a new process during 2018 to recover polycarbonate from metallized disks, diverting a major part of the material to recycling with a higher quality of re-use compared to prior disc destruction processes. In Piaseczno, plastic film wrap waste reduction was achieved by adopting a basic material width better suited to the product dimensions. In non-industrial sites, as digitalization decreases the need for paper, efforts to reduce the use of plastic consumables such as plastic cups, straws and lids are the trend. To achieve proper sorting by workers, new bins for segregating waste were installed in Rennes, Paris, and Toronto MrX. Other sites such as the The Mill or MPC sites in London or Connected Home in Edegem Belgium improved their recycling rate by

changing their waste contractors. Composting experiments yield increasing diversion of organic or paper waste from traditional disposal schemes. Relocation or refurbishment of non-industrial sites notably in the Paris area permitted to make donations in-kind of furniture and office supplies to local administration, schools, associations, and through a lottery for employees. Some furniture was also re-distributed to other Technicolor sites inasmuch as possible. All these operations were the occasion to promote reuse versus dismantling and recycling or disposal. The Paris area furniture reuse rate reached 40%. In Memphis, a new internal pallet repair-reuse recycling program was implemented for enhanced performance.
