1 The 2019 rate for recycling household packaging

2

3 The 2019 Rate: Recycling more and more For 25 years now, Citeo has been working to make sure that your packaging can be collected, sorted and recycled in shared, robust and sustainable systems. We cover 100% of the obligations placed on you by regulations on household packaging recycling, as well as guarantee the traceability of every tonne recycled and the quality of the materials involved. Every day, we take action to cut the costs of sorting and recycling your packaging over the long term and to make every euro you invest go further. The 2019 rate for recycling your packaging will be changing in the same spirit as in 2018: Recycling levels continue to rise, making for more recycled tonnes to fi nance. The actual rate increase will vary by type of packaging, being a function of the recycling trends specifi c to each material. The sole reference unit is now the CSU, making your declaration process easier. A new bonus has also been rolled out, to promote the integration of recycled materials into your packaging. We have made reliability, effi ciency, simplifi cation and services our commitments, to achieve new ambitions in recycling your packaging. Thanks to your contributions, we are giving your products a new life, together. 3

5 The 2019 rate applied to each declaration Declarations and flat rate 80 DECLARATION PER CSU Declaring CSUs placed on the market, shown by weight and by material. THE SECTOR-SPECIFIC DECLARATION Declaring by product family. This option is available to customers who place less than 500,000 CSUs on the French market per year. THE 80 FLAT RATE No declaration. Customers who place less than 10,000 CSUs on the French market If your annual contribution due is less than 80 exc. VAT, you will be charged the minimum rate of 80 exc. VAT. 5

6 A closer look at declaring by CSU Calculation method TOTAL CONTRIBUTION OF CSU 1 Contribution by weight of material 2 Contribution by CSU 3 Bonus Penalty 1 Contribution by weight of material A differentiated tariff is applied to each of the following 7 materials, with a single family for plastics: Steel Aluminium Paper & Cardboard Paper & Cardboard Bricks Plastics Glass Other materials /kg /kg /kg /kg /kg /kg /kg Discount for the use of recycled/cardboard: The weight of paper and cardboard packaging incorporating raw materials from recycling is reduced by 10% if more than 50% of the packaging s total weight consists of recycled material. To benefit from the discount, a certificate may be sent from the packaging supplier. 2 Contribution by CSU For each CSU, the basic contribution is adjusted according to the number of Packaging Units that make up the CSU. Adjustment rules 1 unit, regardless of weight = no adjustment 2 to 5 units = 80% adjustment for each unit From 6 to 10 units = 60% adjustment per unit 11 to 30 units = 40% adjustment per unit More than 31 units = 10% adjustment per unit Number of units per CSU 1 unit 2 units 3 units 4 units 5 units 6 units 7 units 8 units 9 units 10 units 11 units 12 units 13 units 14 units 31 units 32 units % adjusted Price per CSU in ct 0,0627 0,1129 0,1630 0,2132 0,2633 0,3010 0,3386 0,3762 0,4138 0,4514 0,4765 0,5016 0,5267 0,5518 0,9593 0,9656 For packaging units whose weight is less than 0.1g, a 10% adjustment per packaging unit in the CSU is applied. 6

7 Understanding Packaging Units Your contribution by CSU is calculated based on the number of Packaging Units What is a Packaging Unit? A packaging unit is a component of packaging that can be separated from the product when consumed or used by a household. All stoppers or closures (detachable stoppers, peel-off lids, lids, parts of blister packs without perforation etc.) are considered to be separate packaging units and must be declared separately. (See full definition in the Declaration Guide). Some examples to illustrate A pack of 4 yoghurts = 9 packaging units cups peel-off lids 1 rider Small appliances = 5 packaging units parcel Cake Box = 3 packaging units 2 bolsters 2 bags cardboard sleeve 1 plastic tray 1 plastic bag Tube of cosmetic cream = 3 packaging units plastic tube 1 plastic cap 1 peel-off lid 7

8 3 Eco-adjustment Bonuses Awareness-raising The On-Pack bonus Bonus of 8 % This bonus is granted on the total contribution of the CSU if complete sorting guidelines is displayed on the packaging: all packaging units must be listed or depicted, as well as their material and purpose ( To Discard or To Recycle ). For example, for a pack of cakes: The Off-Pack bonus A bonus of 4% on the total contribution of the CSU is granted for the following awareness actions on sorting 2 : TV / Radio (300 GRP minimum), display (1,000 GRP minimum), press (150 GRP minimum), digital medium with purchase of space (minimum 20% of the target chosen with a minimum of 20 million impressions = number of opportunities to see the campaign) Packaging components Material Action Case Cardboard Please recycle Tray Plastic Please discard This sorting guideline must be shown along with the Triman when at least one component in the packaging is subject to recycling requirements in a national channel 1. For more information, see our Sorting Information Guide at 5 % bonus This bonus is granted on the total contribution of the CSU if the packaging bears the Triman logo without the related sorting instructions. The packaging on which this logo is affixed must be covered by a national recycling channel 1. 4 % bonus This bonus is granted on the total contribution of the CSU if the packaging bears a QR code referring to a sorting guideline validated by Citeo. The 3 On-Pack bonuses cannot be combined. The On-Pack bonus can be combined with the Off-Pack bonus. note 1 - As provided for in Article R of the Environmental Code. 2 - Actions where media performance is calculated on the target base of 15 years and above 8

9 Reduction at source and recyclability improvement A bonus of 8% on the total contribution of the respective CSU packaging is granted for the following actions: Regarding the reduction: iso-material and iso-functionality weight reduction; reduction in volume with iso-functionality, for example by product concentration; use of refills; reduction in the number of packaging units in a single CSU. To improve recyclability: removal of a non-main material from a multi-material packaging unit; replacement of complex plastic rigid packaging with rigid mono-resin packaging improving its recyclability; addition of a pre-cut on a plastic sleeve (in PET, PEhD or PP showing a sleeve whose surface covers more than 60% of that of the packaging in question); removal of carbon black dye from a plastic packaging item. An additional 4% bonus is granted if the action to reduce or improve recyclability is documented and published in the catalogue of best practices produced by Citeo. For a single action, the bonus can therefore be as high as 12%. Bonus for plastic packaging already covered by the current sorting guidelines A bonus of 12% on the total CSU contribution is granted for plastic packaging in accordance with national sorting guidelines and covered by a recycling channel, i.e. PET, PEhD or PP bottles and vials. The bonus for rigid plastic packaging that can join an existing recycling channel An 8% bonus is granted to packaging which, when sorting instructions are extended, can be added to recycling channels existent today. For 2019, this includes rigid packaging 1 other than bottles and vials where the body of the packaging 2 is made of PET, PEhD or PP. The bonus applies: to the total contribution of the CSU, if it only contains plastic units; to the plastic materials contribution to the weight only if the CSU contains units in different materials other than plastic. If other materials or additives are used in the packaging, they must not impact the sorting and recycling process. They will be listed in a dedicated guide. These bonuses apply only to the first year that it is placed on the market. If multiple measures for reduction at the source or improved recyclability are implemented for the same unit, the related bonuses are not cumulative note 1- Rigid packaging includes bottles, vials, boxes, cups and trays. Rigid packaging is characterised by a certain shelf life and resistance to deformation. The main element of the rigid packaging in general is thicker than 300 micrometers. 2 - The body of the packaging is defined here as the heaviest element comprising the primary packaging. Bonus for PolyEthylene (PE) packaging containing at least 50% recycled material 1 A 50% bonus is applied to contributions by weight for plastic material in the Polyethylene unit(s). 1 - These materials can come from the recycling of household, industrial or commercial packaging. Scrap materials used to produce PE packaging are not eligible for this bonus. 9

10 Penalties Penalty for disrupting packaging Penalty for PET packaging with mineral opacifiers A 50% mark-up on the total contribution of the respective CSU is applied for the packaging described below. It applies due to the deterioration it causes in the quality of the recycled product. Glass packaging with a porcelain or ceramic stopper. Drink cartons with paper/cardboard as the majority material but which contain less than 50% fibres. Reinforced paper & cardboard packaging. Bottles with PET as the majority material that also contain aluminium, PVC or silicon (with density greater than 1). PET bottles with hybrid peel-off lids (aluminium and plastic) that must be entirely removed before the product can be consumed are not classified as disrupting. Penalty for packaging in the sorting guidelines without a recycling channel A 100% mark-up on the total contribution of the respective CSU is applied to packaging included in the sorting guidelines but without recycling channel (i.e. plastic bottles that are not made of PET, HDPE or PP, glass that is not soda-lime). This mark-up does not apply to plastic packaging other than bottles and vials. A 100% mark-up on the contribution by weight for plastic material is applied to rigid opaque PET packaging where the body s mineral opacifier content > 4 %. Penalty for mineral oils In 2017, the public authorities imposed a 10% penalty on contributions by weight for paper and cardboard material containing inks manufactured with mineral oils. According to the action plan that Citeo is deploying with companies and in agreement with the local autorities, the application of this criterion is postponed to 2020 (no application on declaration 2018 nor on declaration 2019) Here are 3 questions to help you understand this penalty. What are mineral oils? Mineral oils are a blend of chemical compounds derived from petroleum. They are used to formulate and/or manufacture certain inks and glues, and can also be used in printing and shaping packaging. Some of these compounds can migrate from packaging into the foods contained, and can also end up in material recycled from packaging. In 2017, mineral oils were the subject of an opinion from the French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) on the need to reduce consumer exposure to potential risks stemming from this migration. CSUs subject to a penalty cannot be awarded a bonus. note Which inks are affected? Only offset printing inks can contain mineral oils. The presence of mineral oils is therefore potentially an issue with the packaging printed in offset sheet (quickset technology). Other printing technologies as well as UV offset do not contain mineral oils. How to avoid incurring a penalty? To find out whether these scales apply to your packaging (food or non-food), ask your packaging manufacturer about the type of ink and printing technique used. Be aware also that there exist robust alternatives to offset printing. 10

11 A closer look at sector-specific The sector-specifi c declaration is made by product family. A rate is defi ned for each of them. There are 2 types of sector-specific declaration: A general declaration covering all products, regardless of category. The rates are increasing by 7%, in line with the average increase in expenses in the sector. Calculation method CONTRIBUTION FOR A PRODUCT FAMILY 1 2 A separate declaration for wines and spirits. Rates are adjusted product by product to refl ect as closely as possible the actual cost of materials in this sector of activity.
