5 SUEZ organization following GE Water acquisition Dedicated Industrial Water business unit: Water Technologies & Solutions 27% Water Europe 36% Recycling & Recovery Europe 21% International 14% 70% ownership Industrial Water 30% ownership SUEZ North America SUEZ Industrial Solutions + GE Water % of SUEZ proforma revenue by business unit 5 I Optimized recovery of organics

6 The difficult life of organics

7 Agriculture, major disruptor in the organics cycle Nutrients Water Energy Agriculture Transformation industries (F&B, feed ) Food Feed Bio-fuels Consumption Feed Waste generation 7 I Optimized recovery of organics

8 Consumption patterns need to evolve (waste reduction) 8 I Optimized recovery of organics

9 Agriculture s environmental footprint, over 75% of total water usage 9 I Optimized recovery of organics

10 Water scarcity impacting agriculture production 10 I Optimized recovery of organics

11 Soil, a complex ecosystem 11 I Optimized recovery of organics

12 Soil depletion, a worldwide challenge 12 I Optimized recovery of organics

13 Soil depletion, a reality Deforestation Intensive agriculture & mono cultures Extreme weather events Enhanced erosion resulting in accelerated soil depletion 13 I Optimized recovery of organics

14 Slow but steady increase in organic farming 14 I

15 Organic farming in the EU 18.7% increase between 2012 and I

16 Population growth to increase pressure on agriculture 16 I Optimized recovery of organics

17 Fish feed demand to grow significantly (2/3 of protein demand to come from feed applications) Currently the equivalent of 5 kg of wild fish required to grow 1 kg of fish! 17 I Optimized recovery of organics

18 Urbanization will accentuate one way traffic for organics 18 I Optimized recovery of organics

19 Organics a valuable resource, how to invert one way traffic Protein production Energy generation Soil amendment production 19 I Optimized recovery of organics

20 Soil amendment production

21 Different organic flows Rural Manures Forestry residues Other agricultural residues ICI Pre-consumer food & beverage waste Restaurant food waste Grease traps Municipal SSO, L&Y Organics in the residual MSW WWTP bio-solids 21 I Optimized recovery of organics

22 Direct land spreading Manures Agricultural waste Directly managed at primary production site (farm, plantation ) Pre-consumer food waste Regulated Biosolids Post consumer food waste & green waste In some countries 22 I Optimized recovery of organics

23 Producing compost from SSO and/or mixed waste Mixed waste, organic flows, blended to achieve required moisture content, C/N ratio 23 I Optimized recovery of organics 1- Preparation 2- Composting In vessel Static Forced aeration 3- Maturation Piles, windrows Static 4- Refining Compost (-10 to +20 $/t delivered), depending on feedstock & application

24 MBT Example: Neerabup, Australia In operations since 2009 Comporec rotary drums followed by corridor composting 105/110 kt/a residual MSW (designed for 100 kt/a) 25/30 kt/a compost 24 I

25 Producing enriched compost (bio-fertilizers) Organic flows, blended to achieve required moisture content, C/N ratio + enhance final quality requirements 1- Preparation 2- Composting 3- Maturation 4- Refining Compost + Blending product to obtain required properties (drainage, nutrient value ) Dedicated application with higher value (20 to 40 $/t) 25 I Optimized recovery of organics

26 Energy generation

27 Renewable energy from organic waste 27 I Optimized recovery of organics

28 Anaerobic Digestion Organic flows, blended to achieve required moisture content 1- Preparation 2- Anaerobic digestion Wet/dry Static/with agitator 3- Biogas cleaning, electricity generation Biomethane, electricity, heat Digestate Direct spreading Composting 28 I Optimized recovery of organics

29 MBT Example, Montpellier France In operations since 2008 rotary drums, dry AD (plug flow) and in-vessel composting 130 kt/a residual MSW 27 kt/a compost, 20.5 GWh (electricity) & 10.9 GWh (heat) 29 I

30 Producing an alternative fuel Biosolids Dewatering, drying & pelletizing Alternative fuel, e.g. for cement kilns Clean wood (class 1) Waste wood (class 2), poor quality MSW compost Torrefaction / low temperature pyrolysis & pelletizing Alternative to coal 30 I Optimized recovery of organics

31 Protein production

32 Protein production by harvesting insects is a promising route 32 I Optimized recovery of organics

33 Oilseed Meal Meat Bone Meal (PAT) Protein market potential (feed and specific niche markets) Market size Targeted market applications Fish meal Non-feed use Hydrolysates from high grade proteins /kg Range of magnitude of material use in animal nutrition in the world Oilseed meal (soybean mainly) : 300mtpy MBM : 14mtpy Fishmeal : 7mtpy Others : 100 to ktpy 33 I Optimized recovery of organics

34 Animal Content free With Animal content Input material requirements Strong regulation restraints regarding feedstock origin Technical applications (glue ) Feed applications Not addressed for time being Current composting, AD solutions For the time being (in Europe) Protein fraction : PetFood and Aquafeed are allowed to use insects derivate Oil fraction : all animal can be fed with oil derived from insects PRE-CONSUMER POST-CONSUMER Within the next few years (in Europe) Protein fraction use should be extended to other non-ruminant animals (poultry, pork ) Certain Post-Consumer flows coming from traced and safe origins should be added to Pre-Consumer flows 34 I Optimized recovery of organics

35 Optimized recovery

36 SUEZ has created a virtual platform in Brittany (France) to link generators of organic waste with organic processors to optimize organics recovery as well as existing processing capacity 36 Optimized recovery of organics

37 Organix offering, link organic flows to most adapted recovery route Optimized environmental and financial outcome Improve upstream and downstream financial outcome with optimize organics recovery Full compliance SUEZ guarantee on regulatory compliance based on knowledge of production sites and processing sites Efficiency Quick, simple and relevant solutions by linking waste generators and waste processors Quality of service Dedicated customer focus with guaranteed delivery of logistical and operational services 37 Optimized recovery of organics

41 Conclusion

42 Market drivers for complementary recovery routes Soil amendments production Deficit in agricultural areas (one way traffic for organics) Depleted soils Water scarcity Increase in organic farming Protein production Energy generation Green energy Improved GHG impact Drive for development of renewable energy Maintains the soil amendment option Energy generation Soil amendment production Protein production Increasing needs for feed applications High value (upward of 1,000 /t) Maintains the soil amendment option 42 I Optimized recovery of organics

43 Reduced waste Maximized capture Organics: closing the loop, a requirement Nutrients Return to land Water Energy generation Energy Protein production Feed The waste industry has a key role to play throughout the whole value chain: Advising all stakeholders Making sure capture is maximized Identifying and implementing optimized recovery routes Tools such as Organix will allow to optimize the recovery of organics and the capacity of processing capacity as well as raise awareness on feedstock and product quality 43 I Optimized recovery of organics
