WASTE HIGHLIGHTS Waste reduction, reuse and recycle efforts continued in 2020. 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. Non-industrial sites are also increasingly reducing waste produced by discontinuing the use of disposable paper cups, plastic cutlery, or bottled water, shifting to durable options. More both-sides paper printing takes place.

In 2020, the Guadalajara, Mexico DVD factory implemented a project to recycle internally more polycarbonate from metallized disks. Pallet recycling programs have been continued and developed in Mexicali and Huntsville sites, thereby reducing the need to purchase new pallets. In Piaseczno, Poland, the site reduced plastic waste by 23 tons in the year, and cardboard waste by 4 tons. The Rugby site reinforced its waste segregation efforts.

Environmental footprint of products 5.5.2 PRODUCT DESIGN AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT As a leading supplier of set-top box (STBs) and home gateways, Technicolor has acquired experience and decided to incorporate eco-design principles and methodology into its product families. Rigorous analysis about product environmental performance allowed Technicolor to measure the impact of innovations and to target key areas of focus. Based on product life cycle assessment, Technicolor advises and supports its customers to reduce the ecological impact of their activities, addressing short-term product aspects of core product design ( e.g. , energy consumption reduction during its life cycle, elimination of hazardous substances in electronic cards, components, casings, accessories, and cable materials, use of recycled materials and contributions to a more circular economy) as well as on related elements to reduce single-use plastics and packaging and to decrease carbon emissions due to transportation. Technicolor also looks forward, collaborating with its customers to support them in their ambitions to reduce their carbon footprint and evolve towards carbon-neutral activities.

PRODUCT REUSE GRI [417-1]

5

Beginning in 2016, as part of its reuse strategy, the Group began to recover used units from the American market in partnership with a major network provider capable of taking back product from individual consumers. Using its network of post-sales locations, Technicolor inspects, refurbishes, and requalifies the returned products whenever feasible, and then sells them as a clearly labeled refurbished product and at a reduced price. Since the program commenced in 2016, the destruction and disposal of about 3.1 million units and 4,380 tons of waste was avoided. At the same time, the need for an equivalent amount of raw materials and manufacturing effort required to produce new products for these markets was eliminated.
