1 Packaging for Mineral Water and SFBs Sanpellegrino s Perspective Fabio Chimetto AG Packaging Manager Sanpellegrino SpA

2 Sanpellegrino Group is The biggest player in the non alcoholic beverage within the Italian Market; a products portfolio for any consumption occasion. Mineral Water Soft Drinks Aperitifs

3 With these numbers 3 billions of bottles 9 Factories 766 Mio Euros (year 2014) Exporting in 140 Countries World Wide 1600 Employees

4 The factories are located exactly were the mineral water springs are S.Pellegrino Levissima Recoaro S.Bernardo Nestlé Vera Acqua Panna Nestlé Vera -S.Rosalia

5 Mineral water means The packaging is therefore essential: It has to protect the product, its composition and the taste. The bottle is the safebox of the mineral water: To guarantee safety and quality to the consumer.

6 Sparkling Fruit Beverages means The packaging is therefore essential: It has to protect the product, its composition and the taste, knowing that loss of CO2 and exposure to light and oxygen are detrimental

7 Environmental sustainability: we are focused on 4 areas

8 The packaging is therefore crucial Packaging Main Topics : Products protection Lightweighting Recycled PET utilization Sustainable packaging materials

9 Products protection Main needs : gas barrier (CO2 and/or 02) UV and visible light barrier Light but unbrekable Easy to shape

10 PET and barrier options Gas barrier, the three options : std PET properly bi-oriented special PET resins as Poliprotect PB and/or APB (by M&G) MLY PET/Nylon/PET (co-injection)

11 PET and light protection UV and visible light protection : special UV filters specific dark and covering colors

12 PET added value Weight and shape : consumer friendly vs. glass higher flexibility in terms of shape and size vs. can and glass

13 Lightweighting: our latest project Vera BFLy : 0,5 lt bottle for still water total weight 9,5 g body weight 7,5 g one of the lightest body in our Market

14 Lightweighting: our latest project Vera BFly Constraints to be addressed : IV resin limitation (max 0,78) Very narrow blowing process window (line speed bt/h) Wall thickness distribution to be closely monitored (Agr Process Pilot)

15 Recycled PET utilization First Company to launch rpet in Italy : since the 5 th August 2010, it is finally allowed in Italy the use of rpet up to 50 %, as defined with the Regolamento n 113 of the 18 th May 2010 in October 2010, Levissima 1 lt bottle for still water, is the first bottle with rpet in our Market

16 Recycled PET utilization

Recycled PET utilization In 2014 Sanpellegrino has used 3.

17 Recycled PET utilization In 2014 Sanpellegrino has used tons of rpet in the production of bottles under the brands Vera and Recoaro with the rate of 25 %

18 g eq C02 / kg Recycled PET utilization Every recycled bottle allows an environmental benefit as it replaces vergin material utilization r-pet rpet vs rpet: v-pet: CO2 CO 2 emissions balance CO 2 Savings Mechanical Recycling Virgin PET production (1t rpet = - 2,3 t eq CO 2 emissions = - 8 oil barrels)

generation Considering the LOMBARDIA Region Cost benefits analysis from 2005 to 2010 7

19 Recycled PET utilization Scientific report AT NATIONAL LEVEL Cost benefits analysis from 2001 to avoided landfills 3 millions Tons avoided CO2 Employment generation Considering the LOMBARDIA Region Cost benefits analysis from 2005 to avoided landfills 170,000 Tons avoided CO2 Secondary raw materials generated value : 14 millions Euros

20 Sustainable packaging materials PET remains our choice because : A packaging material which is biodegradable or compostable is not the right solution for the environment Because all what has been done to obtain the packaging will be lost during the degradation..

21 Sustainable packaging materials Biodegradable or compostable means : Energy used to prepare the land, fertilazers, water, energy to transform the vegetable into a plastic, all will be transformed in CO2, water, methane, mineral salts or humus

22 Sustainable packaging materials PET remains our choice because : It delivers the right performances in terms of strength and barrier It is fully recyclable allowing to recover its intrinsic value what is missing is a renewable origin, since any fossil origin is not sustainable.

23 PET partially renewable is the answer PET made from renewable sources : Today is becoming available a PET partially derived from a vegetable source (30 %) This is the PET made with MEG coming from molasses and/or sugar cane Sugar cane spontaneously growing without fertilazers and watering is a sustainable source

24 PET partially renewable is the answer Levissima has launched in June 2013 : PET partially made with renewable sources Made from MEG derived from Brasilian sugar cane SKUs: 1 lt still and sparkling, 1,5 lt still In 2014 we have used 870 tons of such PET

25 EcoPET is the answer S t i l l Launch : June 2013 S p a r k l i n g
