We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it, we want it back A Model EPR Program for Printed Paper and Packaging

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! We are brand owners ! We are packaging producers

" OCC, OBB, PS, PET

! We are printed paper

producers

! We are discarded materials

managers

" More than 1.4 million tpy

! We are consumers of

recovered material

! We aren’t in the waste

management business

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Promote “A world without

packaging waste”

! Promote sustainable

packaging choices

! Equitable to all materials ! Cost sustainable system ! Public education on

packaging choices

! With stewards not paying the majority

• f the costs –municipalities have been

responsible for setting the requirements for processing and determining what was to be managed

" Municipalities controlled the programs

! There is no central command, no point

• f reference, no harmonization, no

consistency –

" Therefore, NOT sustainable or cost effective " This is NOT the fault of the municipalities

! Model Program assumes 100% funding

" Now has brand owners’ attention " Large dollars at stake

! All current programs have their associated

“foibles”

" Hard to find direction and real answers without an example program to follow " No visible industry with experience operating programs to provide direction

! One program to fit the nation ! Fair and level playing field for all materials ! Transparency in the delivery of the

program

! Cost known upfront ! Reasonable expectations for cost

containment and cost capping

! 100% funding = stewards control their

! The EPR Agency

" Central body representing brand owners

• Protecting brand owners’ best interests

" Governance with Administration Agency

! Administration & Data Management

" Developing governance structure " Develop fee structure

• Work with Systems Optimization and Materials

Optimization to set fees and penalties

" Collect data from industry and stewards

We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it, we want it back A Model EPR Program for Printed Paper and Packaging

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Materials Optimization

" Helps develop markets for hard-to-manage materials " Communicates challenges with PPP " Work with stewards on new/emerging packaging

! System Optimization and Marketing

" Identifying the infrastructure required " Determination of the cost for the implementation " Provide input into the development of the funding structure

• Determining costs for various materials

" Identify the implementation timelines

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Best Practices Policy

" Works with Systems Optimization to incorporate new and emerging technologies " Work with Materials Optimization on incorporation of new and emerging packaging

! Packaging Innovation/Sustainable

Packaging Guide

" Promotes design for the environment in the context of end-of-life management

• Promotes recyclability of PPP with stewards/ brand
• wners

" Develops packaging guides to aid in the end-

• f-life management

! Consumer Engagement

" Manages implementation communication and education " Ongoing education to encourage participation " Work with retailers and brand owners to develop communications messaging at point-of-sale " Engage municipalities

• Providing feedback on materials still found in

garbage stream

• Assist in promoting the program and providing

support to maintain highest quality of material collected

! All 115+ materials managed? ! Only a selected list?

" Not equitable to all material types " Stewards are paying fees regardless

• Paying for a service should mean getting a service

" Public perception of a material not being collected " Who makes the decision on including a material or not? " If selective, industry builds to suit

• Less innovation; less flexibility

" If selective, programs will vary by municipality " If selective, no harmonization, no standardization

• Cost containment a challenge

! What should the target be? ! How should it be set?

" Aggregated? " By material?

We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it, we want it back A Model EPR Program for Printed Paper and Packaging

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Aggregated

" Is this the EPR program?

• Equitable to all materials
• Fibres disadvantaged – 5:1 ratio to containers
• “Harder to manage” materials “skate”

" Program can stay static

• There will be minimal investment/innovation

! By Material

" Is this the EPR program?

• Now equitable to all materials

" Investment will flourish

• Need to address variety of materials = ongoing

innovation

" Overall costs are higher but structured to address individual materials

We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it, we want it back A Model EPR Program for Printed Paper and Packaging

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Remember 115+ materials

" Public does understand fibre from container and film " Must consider nature of materials and technologies available for separation

We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it, we want it back A Model EPR Program for Printed Paper and Packaging

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! All 115+ materials managed everywhere

" Common, consistent, harmonized program " All materials handled at depots, public space

! Standardized level of service for all municipalities

" Over 5,000 pop or already have curbside garbage must have curbside recyclables

! Two stream collection

" Lower cost " Better opportunity to maximize value of materials " Better quality materials " More flexibility in design

Cascades Recovery Inc.

! Targets by Material Type

" Equitable to all materials " A truck is going pass by each household to pick up materials, so might as well pick up everything

• The target should reflect this reality

" Fees based on a unit basis consistent with how materials are managed

• Recycling facilities push volume but pick pieces

" Incentive to create: “A world without packaging waste”
