1. Renewable raw materials used in Waterbased Inks
Sustainable development is a Long Term Trend Some market sectors currently have lower interest a balanced sustainability approach to renewability – Focus is maximum renewability SOCIAL VOC bearable equitable SUSTAIN- A BLE Water ECOLOGICAL ECONOMIC Renewability viable footprint Carbon Compostability / footprint / biodegradability energy 2000 2015 2015-2020 Ecological Viable Sustainable 3
Maximizing Renewable content Siegwerk has developed complementary products with maximised renewable content for disposables market segment.

Biorenewable content of Ink Siegwerk works to increase bio-renewable content in each ink component. Building Block Renewable Target Bio- renewable substitution of ink Content Component Mastergrind Dispersing agents 10% Technical Resins 80%* Varnishes Waxes Extender Resins 80%* Additives Retarding agents 100% Antifoams Discussion around definition of renewable content in the ink is maturing with adoption of ASTM 6866 becoming more widespread. This method measures renewable carbon content based on C 14 measurement. * Measurement of Bio renewable C Content currently ongoing according to ASTM6866 5
Example : UniBIO extenders and TV for Cups segment Printing and End Use Performance can be maintained whilst giving a step change in Renewable content Hot Drinks 1 PE Cold Drinks 2PE Water resistance 1 Water resistance 1 hour hour 5 5 4.5 4 4 Water resistance 1 RMC 3.5 3 day 3 Water resistance 1 RMC 2.5 day 2 2 1.5 1 1 0.5 0 0 Wet rub resistance Slip Rub resistances Slip Rub resistances Scratch resistances Scratch resistances UNIRICS CUP EXTENDER UNI Bio HD UNICUP TV D2 UNIRICS CUP EXT.

Compost-ability Ensuring the ink has a minimum impact at the end of life of the pacakge Siegwerk ensures that at the end of life of the product, the impact of the ink on the compost-ability of the package is minimised. Unibase and Uni T Concentrate series have been tested for their impact on compost-ability. Using selected colour indices with appropriate Technical Varnishes allows “OK compost” requirements to be fulfilled. 7

Reduce: Press Color Matching Time REDUCED Set-up time * due to Color Matchings Set-up time reduction (Color Matching) 40 30 20 10 Previous May June July August September October November December year avg Lab Proofer & Press synchronization gives highly accurate color matches - shade is right first time! * Data from customer projects 11
Reduce: Press Color Matching Time REDUCED Training time * due to Documentation Reduced training time with documentation* 3,5 months 2 weeks 0 1 2 3 4 Process for evaluating skill levels and providing documented remote e-learning . * Data from customer projects 12
Example of Reuse: Return Ink Management Direct Reuse of Press return Inks Press Return Usage (Direct & Mathematical Returns) 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% May June July August September October November December Ink is refreshed and reused directly as same color or converted to similar color All corrections and return movements are recorded for traceability * Data from customer projects 13
Example Recycle: Return Ink Management Press Return Ink* RECYCLED Press Return Usage (Bulk Returns) 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% May June July August September October November December Careful control of color matching principles allows press returns to be easily converted into other colors via the dispenser Traceability is maintained * Data from customer projects 14
