6 Sustainable Packaging Bagasse for molded pulp and paperboard Providing a Sustainable Solution Turn a waste material into a cash crop for farmers Create sustainable jobs in an innovative renewable economy Help reduce the environmental impact Provides a value added product from a material that was once treated as waste
7 Sustainable Packaging Sugar Cane Paperboard Benefits Rapid renewable resource (12-14 months) - Harvested all year Recyclable, just like other papers Compostable where facilities exist No bleaching chemicals used uses natural color No wood used (no depletion of forests) Result is a rapid renewable alternative using 100% Sugar Cane Sugar Cane Paper Mill Certifications: ISO 9001: 2000, Quality Management System ISO 14001: 2004, Environmental Management System OHSAS 18001: 2007, Occupational Health and Safety System All grades are FDA approved for food contact 21 CFR : Contact with Aqueous and Fatty Foods 21 CFR : Contact with Dry Foods
8 Sugar Cane Paperboard Production Process
9 Sustainable Packaging Sugar Cane Paperboard Sugar Cane Paperboard Grades Earth Pact Natural Base Stock Hard sized for Extrusion Coating 12pt to 18pt; uncoated natural cream color both sides Earth Pact Natural Uncoated Board 12pt to 18pt; uncoated natural cream color both sides Earth Pact Natural Coated C1S Board 15pt and 17pt, Coated print side, natural cream color both sides Earth Pact White One Side C1S Board 12pt to 18pt, White print side, natural cream color inside Earth Pact Grease Resistant Kit Level 7 12pt to 18pt, uncoated natural cream color both sides All grades are FDA-compliant for contact with most dry, fatty and aqueous foods. Lighter grades are also available.
10 Barrier alternatives for polycoated board Food grade barrier board Up to Kit level 12 Water resistant coatings Grease resistant coatings Earthshield - Proprietary extrusion coating from Veritiv Recognized as a recyclable package (using how2recycle.info guidelines) Repulpable (testing provided by Georgia Tech University) FDA approved for direct food contact 40% mineral based content Offers greater barrier performance and a better sustainable solution than poly coated SBS. MVTR barrier improvement performance of 30-50% PAPER
11 Quantifying sustainability Designing sustainably Life Cycle Analysis Tree Savings using sugar cane Use sustainability to increase market share Educate the consumer on recycling End of life options
12 Quantifying Sustainability Sustainability Department, comprises of LCA experts, compiling detailed Life Cycle Reports on 20 years of data collected through the GaBi database. We can provide an unbiased evaluation of the entire life of your packaging from cradle to cradle. Provide complete transparency into how your packaging was produced, how it will affect the environment throughout its life, and how proposed modifications can optimize its impact. We specifically look at key impact drivers, such as: Sustainable raw material procurement (FSC, SFI, etc.) Sustainable manufacturing methods Engineering optimization Logistics complexity End-of-life scenarios.
13 Designing Sustainably The environmental impact of making raw materials, whether its refining oil to make plastic or growing fibers to make paper, often accounts for a big part of the product s overall environmental impact - this is why material selection is so important. Packaging Material Flows Raw Material Selection This diagram reflects the flow of packaging from material sourcing to material recovery.

15 Tree Savings SBS vs. Sugar Cane Board Customer: Veritiv Sample Cartons Original: 18pt SBS Materials: 100% Virgin SBS Redesign: 18pt Coated Sugar Cane Board Materials: 100% Rapid Renewable Fiber One ton of coated virgin board uses approximately 16 trees (40ft tall, 6-8 diameter) 1 Package Weight = grams Annual Quantity = 10,000,000 cartons Annual Tons = Annual Tree Savings = 2,606 Trees Roughly 6.5 Football Fields of Trees Source: Recycled Papers: The Essential Guide (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1992) 2 Norampac EcoCalculator (401 trees per football field)
16 Sustainable Packaging Sugar Cane Paperboard Use sustainability to increase market share Condiment Packets Bakery Candy Display Trays Ice Cream Containers Folding Cartons Nutraceuticals Cosmetics
17 Educate the Consumer on Recycling The How2Recycle Label is a voluntary, standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public. Reduce confusion by creating a clear and well-understood label Provide a labeling system that follows Federal Trade Commission Green Guides Increase the availability and quality of recycled material. RECYCLE: All food, beverage and other plastics labeled #1 - #7. Rinse and leave screw-on lids on the containers. Snap-on lids (sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.) must be labeled #1 - #7 to be placed in the recycling cart. Pumps from hand soaps and other products should be placed in the garbage.
