Newsprint Recycling Example<br />

ONP6 vs. ONP8:<br />

Less “outthrows” in ONP8, but greater effort required.<br />

ONP8 however, can likely go to regional/NA mills vs.<br />

overseas where it may be economical to re-sort the paper.<br />

MRF operator’s incentives likely only returns vs. cost<br />

(sorting and transportation), not carbon footprint.<br />

Transportation costs disproportionate to actual GHG<br />

emissions generated.<br />

Downstream processing/manufacturing emission factors<br />

(e.g., power) likely unknown to MRF operator.<br />
