Sustainability value offer of cartons

Initials/YYYY-MM-DD

General

Environmental credentials of cartons

One of the most sustainable options for food and beverage packaging

• Cartons are recyclable!

• Used cartons are converted into tissue, paper-based products and even building materials

General

WHYIS IT IMPORTANT?

► Renewability is a key differentiator… Adding renewability to recyclability creates a new leading edge in the evolution of packaging

► Renewable materials have a low Carbon footprint

► Awareness & demand increase► More stakeholders and consumers

are calling for renewability and responsible sourcing practices

Mainly made of renewable raw materials that re-grow overtime.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):“Renewable resources” are natural resources that can be remade, re-grown or regenerated in a relatively short period of time. Examples of renewable resources are plants and trees from agriculture and forestry.

General

100% of the paperboard utilized for our cartons comes FSC & controlled sources – i.e. the board meets a minimum forest management performance level and is 3rd party verified against environmental, social and ethical performance, including verification of legality

Sustainably sourced paperboard

► The trees do not come from high conservation value or intact natural forests

► The trees are replaced either through planting or through natural regeneration

► The local characteristics of the forest, including biodiversity and the practices of people using the forest, are protected

Global Warming Potential

Metric describing the potential to contribute

to increase in the average temperature

of the Earth’s surface. Expressed

as kg CO2 equivalents

Cartons show low global warming potential compared to a range of PET systems

Use of plant based plastic for the instead of fossil-based materials leads to lower results in “Climate

Change”

Benefits from the use of renewable materials in production processes

61% Lower CO2 footprint vs. regular PET bottles

Cartons are recyclable

Fiber - Pulp

Poly/Al Mix –Pulp Byproduct

Plastic Products

Whole Cartons Building Products e.g. Rewall

Presenter

Presentation Notes

We have identified Three types of markets: Fiber/Pulp Poly/Al – as a byproduct of the fiber/pulp Whole Cartons – e.g. Rewall Whole carton use – Re Wall, DesMoines, Iowa – Niche market, press melted boards - relatively small but growing, and can use whole cartons – upcycling The cities of Des Moines and Waterloo have mandated their contractors to use ReWall instead of plywood in vacant property board-ups. Des Moines Public schools started using boards and ceiling tiles made from their kids’ milk cartons… closed-loop sustainability. Energy recovery – for Poly/Al Mix is another possibility – but last resort before disposal.

General

Ability for consumers to recycle their cartons is growing everyday

350% increase in access to

carton recycling

in 10 years

Upcycling Technologies-Newly announced project in Colorado. Production to begin in May 2019. Expected capacity is 800 Tons Per Month (Full carton recycler)

Ecomelida-Announced project. Total capacity will be 10,000 Tons Per Month. Production to begin Q4 of 2019 and volumes will ramp up to total capacity over time.

Additional recyclers buying post consumer cartons from US/Canada in Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and South Korea

3 facilities in the US recycle cartons

Presenter

Presentation Notes

All in blue is existing recycling capacity. Green is announced. On the export front, specifically Korea, there is a project slowly coming on line in Korea that will be a major consumer of post consumer cartons collected, sorted and baled in the US and Canada. Mill is Paper Corea in Gunsan, South Korea.
