WASTE GENERATION AND RECYCLING Technicolor has a long-standing commitment to the principles of sound and environmentally responsible management of waste. Establishing the hierarchy of internal re-use, recycling and reclaiming followed by treatment and then landfill as the last option, Technicolor has developed and implemented programs to reduce waste generation, decrease the amount of hazardous waste, decrease waste sent to landfill, and increase recycling. Hazardous waste is defined at each site using guidance from local governing agencies, but in general it means waste chemicals, fuels, oils,

solvents, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, or other items that may have been in contact with the hazardous material, for example, cleaning materials or empty containers. All these hazardous wastes are handled, stored, and disposed in compliance with local regulation and Group Policy. Total waste generated was 22,016 tons (about 2.2% of total waste was generated by non-industrial sites). The recycling rate was 62.7% decreasing significantly compared to 2019. When compared to total revenue, the average waste generation rate across the business was 7.32 M-Ton/M€ in 2020.

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 to more

completely measure and categorize this waste generation. For 2020, the overall reported non-industrial waste was significant at about 2.2% of the Group total tonnage, with approximately 16 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 35 tons reported during 2020.
