President’s Executive Order Drives Government Paper Procurement Guidelines Federal policies defining “environmentally preferable” products have a powerful influence on paper specifications demanded by paper buyers large and small across the nation. Procurement policies developed by the federal government often become the template for state governments and the private sector to follow suit. Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established guidelines for federal procurement of products that contain recovered materials through the Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines program. The 30 percent minimum post-consumer recycled content requirement for uncoated printing and reprographic paper purchases was established by EPA in 1998, and continues today as a standard specification embedded in procurement policies within and outside the government. But the federal procurement landscape may be changing. In March 2015, President Obama issued Executive Order 13639 – Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, which calls for federal agencies to increase efficiency and improve their environmental performance. Provisions of the Executive Order encourage federal agencies Provisions of Executive Order 13639 encourage federal agencies to reduce their use of paper and to “procure paper products with minimum postconsumer recycled content that is higher than the specifications currently established by EPA.” to reduce their use of paper and to “procure paper products with minimum post-consumer recycled content that is higher than the specifications currently established by EPA.” In addition to considering changing the minimum recycled content for printing paper, EPA is developing a program called Guidelines for Product Environmental Performance Standards and Ecolabels for Voluntary Use in Federal Procurement. Last September, EPA published “Interim Recommendations” for these guidelines, which include product categories for wood, copy paper and tissue products. For wood used in construction, the only recommended standard is the Forest Stewardship Council. The recommended standard for tissue products is certification to the Green Seal GS-01 Standard for Tissue Paper. For copy paper, the recommendation is that procured products meet one or more of the Green Seal GS-07 or UL 7721 standards. While these are considered “interim” guidelines, they are currently in place and are expected to be followed by government procurement offices. AF&PA has engaged both the U.S. EPA Administrator and the White House Council on Environmental Quality to explain the unintended (continued on page 6) A lot has changed in our 152-year history.

The company is aiming the 400,000 tons per year volume of the new line at the Americas, as well as at food service end-uses such as cups, plates and trays globally. “Thanks to the new production line and our recent product development, we are now able to respond to food service packaging requirements and demand better than ever before,” said CEO Mika Joukio. According to the company, the folding boxboard machine, BM1, is the most significant part of the EUR 170 million investment program carried out at the Husum mill site. As part of the program, enhancements have also been made at the pulp mill and the mill site’s own port. As a whole, this investment program completes the company’s transformation process to a pure paperboard company. In November of 2015, Metsä Board also announced it is investing an additional EUR 38 million in a new extrusion coating line and related infrastructure in Husum. Start-up for this line is expected at the beginning of 2017. The Husum mill employs 780 people and has an annual capacity to produce 400,000 tonnes of folding boxboard; 300,000 tonnes of linerboard; 750,000 tonnes of bleached kraft pulp. MARCH 7, 2016 Midwest Converting – A Valued Partner in Converting and Distribution As the paper market continues to face new challenges, companies will need to continue enhancing customer satisfaction, quickly respond to changes in the business environment, and provide improved ways to enhance bottom line company performance. Midwest Converting’s President, Rob Srebalus, says his company is in the business of providing a manufacturing and distribution-based competitive advantage to its customers geared towards their company goals and business strategy. “Midwest Converting works with companies to understand their business approach and the kind of competitive advantage it is pursuing. With our operational experience in the converting and distribution industry, we apply our knowledge to present viable solutions to our customers that enable them the ability to adopt new strategic game changing approaches in order to generate enhanced supplier value,” said Srebalus. “While shifting to outside converting services on a holistic basis defies conventional wisdom for many, we continue to demonstrate how our business model contributes signifi- cantly to competitive success, adding value to our customers. Companies that embrace change, welcome new and unconventional suppliers, seek new alliances and connect with customers in a less constrained environment will likely increase their share of the value chain, potentially gaining and sustaining competitive advantage,” Srebalus noted. Midwest Converting not only warehouses, converts, and distributes customer-owned inventory, but also provides complete operational supply chain platforms for customers that deliver bottom-line performance. “When the proper converting program can be put in place to meet the requirements of a target market or end user, the benefits of an outsourcing partner like Midwest Converting could become the valueadded identity that enhances a company’s value proposition,” Srebalus said. And the benefits of an outsourcing strategy with Midwest Converting can be significant. “We feel that paper mills and merchants should consider carefully how our business model can improve their business and position them for long term financial viability,” Srebalus added.

The interim requirements severely limit or exclude AF&PA member products by choosing only one of three recog- nized forestry standards, and copy paper standards to which few papers are certified.

Buckman is a privately held, global specialty chemical company serving customers all over the world in the pulp and paper, water treatment and leather-making industries. Buckman’s global headquarters is in Memphis, Tennessee, situated on the same spot as the original building, which opened in 1945. As World War II was coming to a close, and industry began addressing problems closer to home, Dr. Stanley J. Buckman, a biochem- On October 19, 1945, Buckman made its first sale of 200 pounds of a microbiocide product to the company’s first customer, Whiting Paper Company in Holyoke, Mass. ist who had been working to develop a decay-resistant wood for military use, was aware of microbiological problems that existed in the manufacture of pulp and paper. He had an idea for a product that would mitigate the problems for the papermaker, and his confidence in the idea led to the establishment of Buckman Laboratories. As the company began in 1945, offices and laboratories were located side-by-side on the first floor of a tiny building. Manufacturing facilities were modest — a 55-gallon process vessel strategically placed in the basement of the building would manufacture the company’s only product. And on October 19, 1945, Buckman made its first sale of 200 pounds of that product to the company’s first customer, Whiting Paper Company in Holyoke, Mass.

His passion and commitment for the paper industry has included varied and different experiences as a broker, converter, entrepreneur, inventor and manufacturer. Cooper founded TFRG in 1996, after working for the Newark Group’s recycling division in Salem, Mass. for 6 years. In the early 2000’s TFRG opened a warehousing operation in Madawaska, Maine, to service a few key mills in Northern Maine and Eastern Canada. The Fiber Resource Group of Maine was then established and eventually moved and expanded the operation and scope of services it offered in 2005 to a rail-served modern facility with converting capabilities in Van Buren, Maine. Some of the milestones in the history of TFRG include investing in and helping to restart Dirigo Paper in Gilman, Vermont (formerly Simpson Paper) in 2004. Cooper says he’s most proud of playing a major role in putting over 120 former employees back to work when the mill reopened. In 2008, Cooper invested in and helped start Lynxus LLC, a 100,000 sq. ft., full service warehouse, logistics and converting operation in Auburn, Maine. While operating TFRG of Maine, Cooper identified a need for a faster and more cost effective machine to convert small and often damaged rolls of paper. As a result, he contacted the Advanced Manufacturing School at the University of Maine and spent over 5 years developing a machine to quickly and effectively resize rolls of paper. Cooper established Black Bear Manufacturing, and in 2015, after 10 years in development, he finally received a patent for his Roll Sizing machine and is actively seeking a strategic customer to purchase the first, next generation machine. In 2010, Cooper invented an arts and crafts product for kids, and founded Imagination Brands, LLC, a company that manufactures and sells paper-based children’s arts and crafts products, most notably the Doodle Roll® activity kit. Made in the USA, the Doodle Roll has been sold in over 10,000 locations, including national chains such as Walmart and Rite Aid. In 2014, TFRG moved from Maine to its current operation in Gardner, Mass. The Gardner facility provides a myriad of services to mills, converters, recyclers and end users of many different types of paper and finished products. Some of these services include: rewinding, roll saw and salvage cutting, cutting and baling, warehousing and storage, converting rolls and sheets for packaging paper, arts and crafts, stationary products and more.

Email: info@schrafelpaper.com After several years of development, UPM has launched a revolutionary paper grade — UPM Valor. The new, high quality and competitive printing paper grade is designed especially for magazine publishers and brand owners. According to UPM, the new paper grade provides savings in mailing and delivery costs without compromising on quality. “We have taken a massive leap forward in the development of papers designed to support customers concerned with increasing mailing costs,” says Jennifer Wilkerson, Business Development and Marketing Manager for UPM. The truly sustainable new paper grade was created to respond to changing market dynamics. Brands recognize the value of the printed product, yet they increasingly need to compete with other media. UPM Valor’s unique combination of lighter weight and substantial feel allows catalogers and publishers to respond to rising mailing costs while maintaining premium quality. Since fewer raw materials are needed, UPM Valor has a smaller environmental footprint as well. “This is a win on multiple fronts for publishers, catalogers, and retailers who are looking for premium quality, cost savings, and proven environmental stewardship,” Wilkerson added. UPM Valor can be ordered with PEFC or FSC certification and is available in three basis weights that offer more printing surface per ton of paper.

Burrows Paper Corporation announced that it recently introduced its new, proprietary EcoInfuse™ filtration paper for tea bags. The new filtration paper provides outstanding crimping and folding properties to assure dependable tea bag formation and quality. According to Burrows, EcoInfuse is an abaca-free formula, enabling a reliable supply at a lower cost through the absence of abaca crop fluctuations that can result in volatile pricing. When Burrows was expanding production capacity for EcoInfuse, which is produced on PM12 at the company’s mill in Little Falls, New York, the upgrade involved investing in a new Quality Control System at the mill. Burrows points out that stringent quality control for sheet moisture is necessary for this new and different filtration paper. The QCS upgrade provided the mill with improved cross-direction (CD) basis weight control and CD moisture control, as CD uniformity is critical for the paper to run well for Burrows’ customers. Burrows operates four paper mills and six packaging facilities in the U.S. and worldwide. The company produces paper and paper prod- ucts used in food packaging and a variety of special industrial processes, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. Burrows holds certifications from ISO 9001, HACCP, Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forest Initiative, and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. The company incorporates nearly 100 years of papermaking experience into its food packaging line of products and is one of only a few companies capable of producing light weight printable tissue paper from 7.5 to 34 pounds.

The company said its TMS offers a host of robust features in a scalable web-based platform and is a great option for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and are seeking something that’s extremely straightforward and easy to adopt. Shippers have one platform to communicate, measure and manage all their contract transportation providers and rates. U Route offers a full suite of tools that include direct e-carrier management, user-friendly procurement, RFQ development, bid capabilities, load tendering, robust analytics, and more. All these features in a simple and sleek interface that’s accessible anywhere with an Internet connection. U Route will help take a logistics team to the next level of efficiency and cost savings, according to the company. U Route was specifically designed for shippers wanting to maintain control over their logistics operations. Shippers that remain directly connected to their carrier partners receive better service and more reliable pricing from their carriers. With U Route software, shippers in every industry can make logistics a core competency. “There are several reasons why companies use outside sources to make logistics decisions, but the only valid reason is to save money. Unfortunately, using outside providers can cost a company, on average, 18% of its total transportation spend,” U Route said in a press release. “There was a time, not too long ago, when shippers needed a vast network of freight brokers to help source truck capacity. Today, with the right electronic tool, tied into the right truck capacity network, shippers can make excellent logistics decisions in seconds, potentially saving their companies thousands or even millions of dollars,” the company added.

Beyond. For a better earth.” Part of achieving this mission is to continuously educate their customers on natural product offerings. Natural Products are easy on the environment yet hardworking in their intended applications. They offer a higher log-to-paper yield than bleached papers, and require much less energy and fewer chemicals to process while still maintaining a high level of performance integrity. “We ask our customers; is your brown colored paper truly natural?” explained Robyn Buss, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Expera Specialty Solutions. “Some producers use ‘dye-back bleached paper’ which can be easily confused with natural fiber. This is a process of adding brown dyes to bleached pulp, but this paper does not offer any of the natural paper’s additional sustainability benefits.” In Expera’s Food Packaging and Processing Papers sector, natural papers can make quite a statement to the consumer. These papers offering excellent printability, functionality and a sharp brand image, which enable these eco packing options to deliver in both the business and natural world. Expera is a leading North American manufacturer of specialty paper products for use in the pressure-sensitive release liner, industrial, and food packaging segments.

The Paperboard Packaging Alliance’s (PPA) Student Design Challenge was created to promote the use of paperboard as a preferred packaging material, and to engage and inspire future packaging designers. Top packaging, graphic and industrial design schools across North America participate in the challenge, which offers real life hands-on experience from concept to execution. PPA’s Student Design Challenge reflects what happens when a paperboard packaging company receives a new project request. Participating student designers take their ideas from concept to product launch — from packaging development to packaging testing to developing a targeted marketing plan. The annual challenge includes a special focus on sustainability and recyclability to reflect consumers’ increasing preference for these attributes in packaging. The 2016 challenge asks students to design an unconventional premium package for dry goods food packaging. The judging panel of paperboard industry experts will look for a strong structural component that adds an innovative function to the package. Students can choose to design a package for cereal, cookies, crackers, pasta or rice. Judges will also look for unique features such as (but not limited to) opening, reclosing, dispensing and measurement. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the Student Design Challenge. Since 2004, more than $400,000 in scholarships and cash awards have been distributed to students at participating schools and award winners. Participating schools also receive the Paperboard Packaging Council’s Ideas & Innovations handbook to teach students the versatility of designing with paperboard. The challenge’s awardwinning designs continue to reflect Participating student designers take their ideas from concept to product launch—from packaging development to packaging testing to developing a targeted marketing plan. the latest trends and practices in the paperboard packaging industry.

MARCH 7, 2016 PAPER2016 CONVENTION DAILY Increasing Paper Recovery for Recycling AF&PA’s Recovered Fiber program helps ensure a growing domestic supply of recovered fiber to meet global demand, demonstrates industry leadership in a key sustainability area, and advocates for marketbased recycling policies. AF&PA’s sustainability initiative, Better Practices, Better Planet 2020, includes an industry goal to further increase paper recovery for recycling to exceed 70 percent by 2020. Each year since 2011, 63 percent or more of paper used in the U.S. has been recovered for recycling. In 2014 the paper recovery rate exceeded 65 percent. AF&PA is engaging at many levels to support market-based policies and public education to increase paper recovery to meet future demand. Increasingly, our focus has included recovery of mill quality material in addition to volume of material, and identifying areas for growth of recovered materials. In the U.S., the paper grades with the greatest opportunity for increased recovery are printingwriting, corrugated containers and paperboard, especially consumer products packaging used in the home and in delivery of online shopping orders. AF&PA is also working with its members and other industry partners to explore additional opportunities to increase recovery of certain types of recyclable paper and paperboard, like food service packaging and multi-wall Kraft bags. In January, AF&PA convened a strategy session in Washington, D.C. that included AF&PA members and other major stakeholders in the paper recovery supply chain. Stakeholder participants included a private sector recycling company, a recycling ENGO and state government. This diverse group examined key issues driving paper recovery for recycling and proposed objectives and strategies for AF&PA to consider how to accelerate the paper recovery rate toward achieving the goal. AF&PA values partnership opportunities with other organizations to achieve our paper recovery goals, like The Recycling Partnership. The Recycling Partnership is a national recycling nonprofit that utilizes public-private partnerships to help budget-strapped local governments get the most out of the recycling program, which helps increase resident participation and tonnage collected. AF&PA works with The Recycling Partnership to help build the capacity of their partner communities’ recycling programs to increase paper recovery. PAGE 33 ATTENTION — Brokers and Exporters AF&PA will continue raising awareness about the importance of recycling, educating policymakers and other key stakeholders about the success of the voluntary fiber recovery infrastructure, and providing tools and resources to help communities and businesses improve paper recycling programs. These actions will help the industry achieve its 2020 goal of exceeding 70 percent paper recovery.
