WASTE HIGHLIGHTS Waste reduction, reuse and recycle efforts continued in 2021. Non-industrial sites increasingly reduced waste produced by discontinuing the use of disposable paper cups, plastic cutlery, or bottled water, shifting to durable options. DVD manufacturing, packaging, and distribution sites pursued efforts to reduce out-of-order equipment or damaged pallets through specific programs, engaging employees, and through dialogue with waste management service providers. In 2021, the Guadalajara, Mexico DVD factory project to recycle internally more polycarbonate from metallized disks, launched during 2020 resulted in a full-year increase by 5% of tons of ground metalized polycarbonate recycled in 2021. Meanwhile, clear polycarbonate recycled internally at this site increased by 9 percent. Pallet recycling programs have been continued and developed in Mexicali, Mexico, thereby reducing the need to purchase new pallets. In Piaseczno, Poland, the site reduced the consumption of foil used in the laminating process by 1,040 kg/year in its main warehouse. The Rugby, UK, site reinforced its waste segregation efforts with weekly checks introduced to ensure waste segregation. In Sydney too, a pallet recycling program is in place.

Managing e-waste has become a global concern as the volumes of used electronics requiring disposal grows among consumers. In the European Union, the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) falls under the WEEE Directive. Technicolor Connected Home devices are designed to make their disassembly easier. This is one condition for facilitating the pretreatment for recovery as well as to positively affect the reused and refurbishing of end-of-life products in accordance with the circular economy principal. Also, information to end-users explaining about e-waste and how to dispose of devices correctly is made available, including the meaning of the wheelie bin symbol.
