3. APPROVAL 10- 7-08 MEETING MINUTES (see Attachment A)<br />
4. ACTION ITEMS REVIEW (from attached minutes)<br />
5. FINANCIAL UPDATE (see Attachment B)<br />
• Adoption of revised budget (see Attachment C)<br />
• Approval of LCA payment plan and split*<br />
*There are fewer mills and less data points and issues connected with the<br />
paperboard LCA. Staff had originally budgeted for and recommends a 60%<br />
corrugated, 40% paperboard split of the charges. This was not previously formally<br />
disclosed. This can be accomplished within our current reduced budget.<br />

6. PROGESS REPORT ON DELIVERABLES<br />
• LCA<br />
o Draft Report – John Heckman of Five Winds<br />
• Critical Reviewer’s Comments<br />
• Executive Summary Content<br />
o LCA Model hosting & use proposal (see Attachment D)*<br />
*It is recommended that the attached proposal from NCASI be approved.<br />
o Recommendation on Breaking out 100% recycled data*<br />
*The technical sub-committee of the Sustainability committee has<br />
reviewed this issue and recommends against furnishing this information<br />
on an industry aggregated basis at this time due to the inability to break<br />
out the energy and climate burdens for recycled containerboard made at<br />
mixed mills. Once the LCI data is released, individual members who<br />
wish to explore the differences can substitute their disaggregated data to<br />
arrive at their own comparison.<br />
o Goal Setting for the future*<br />
*One of the stated goals of the LCA was to “identify areas where focused<br />
improvements will yield the maximum results.” In light of this we are<br />
already being asked by the Critical Review Panel to make some<br />
comment on our plans to communicate the results of this study to all<br />
industry members, identify areas in the mill and converting operations<br />
where focused efforts will have maximum impact, and set industry goals<br />
for reductions that will be measured in future LCAs. A recommendation<br />
has been made by the reviewers that once the major impact areas are<br />
defined for these unit processes a cross-function team of production,<br />
purchasing and environmental/quality personnel be tasked to identify<br />
both measures for improvement and goals for the industry to adopt and<br />
communicate.<br />
o <strong>Corrugated</strong> Carbon Calculator<br />
o 2008 Data Collection Plan*<br />
*This is the first LCA the industry has conducted and as such represents<br />
only one data-point. Our contract with the LCA provider required the<br />
completion of a model for future use by the industry and/or individual<br />
members. In an effort to develop trend information and monitor progress<br />
against goals it is recommend that the industry continue to update the<br />
model on a biennial basis in even numbered years.<br />
• Changes to AF&PA EH&S data request*<br />
*To improve the consistency and accuracy of the data for the 2008<br />
study the review panel recommends we revise the NCASI to allow<br />
all needed information to be sourced directly from the mill itself<br />
rather than some from NCASI and some from third-party sources<br />
like the Fisher database.<br />
• Changes to FBA Boxplant data request<br />
• Messaging – Mark Williams of Bader-Rudder<br />
o Tag Line and Copy development<br />
o Testing with primary audience<br />
o Collateral Material recommendations<br />

1. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS – Co-Chair Mike Adams welcomed<br />
all committee members and numerous guests from the AF&PA<br />
Containerboard and Kraft sector committee who also attended the<br />
meeting.<br />
2. ANTITRUST STATEMENT – A statement incorporating both AF&PA<br />
and FBA’s antitrust guidelines was given by Jack Cooper of Foley &<br />
Lardner, CPA’s Counsel.<br />
3. APPROVAL OF March 26, 2008 MEETING MINUTES (see Appendix<br />
A). The minutes were approved as submitted.<br />
4. ACTION ITEMS REVIEW (from attached minutes)<br />
• Issue joint press release announcing AICC joining CPA. (Completed)<br />
• Focus on OCC recovery improvement for communications (Ongoing)<br />

MEMO<br />
• Coordinate our Wal-Mart communications / status; make the<br />
information accessible. (Several updates have been issued to the<br />
committee.)<br />
• Develop technical articles regarding wax replacement to promote its<br />
use. (Awaiting FBA study of wax alternative implementation.)<br />
5. FINANCIAL UPDATE (see Appendix B)<br />
For the period ended August 31 st our fund balance stood at $226,412.<br />
However, this did not reflect FBA and AICC’s 2008 contributions that<br />
were billed in September. Overall, we project we have committed all of<br />
our $600,000 budget even though actual payments by year-end may not<br />
reflect this total due to lateness of LCA work and the communication<br />
program that cannot get underway until we receive the report.<br />
6. PROGESS REPORT ON DELIVERABLES<br />
• LCA Report – John Heckman of Five Winds gave an update on the<br />
current status. The report has been delayed due to the inability to<br />
address environmental discharges of mixed product mills which<br />
make up over 40% of the total containerboard output. It has been<br />
discovered recently that if we included like products (unbleached<br />
kraft) we could get to slightly over 80% which Five Winds felt was a<br />
high enough percentage to meet the approval of the expert review<br />
panel. The committee agreed that work should move ahead on this<br />
basis.<br />
o Key mill trend analysis – Since the LCA will represent only one<br />
point in time, and preliminary results show the bulk of<br />
environmental impact is at the mill level, Reid Miner of NCASI<br />
has investigated developing trend lines using 2002, 2004 and<br />
2006 data. All of the major trend emission and energy trend<br />
lines were positive and will be used to tell our story. Water<br />
usage and effluent were steady to slightly up and the group<br />
challenged us to look further back with these items since the<br />
90’s saw major focus on improving these areas.<br />
o Carbon Footprint Calculator – A carbon footprint calculator<br />
based on the industry average LCA result was approved and<br />
will be designed and made available to all industry members<br />
through the corrugated.org website.<br />
o LCA Model hosting & use – We specified one of the LCA<br />
deliverables would be a model that individual industry<br />
members could use to forego the expense of retaining an<br />
outside provider to conduct their company specific LCA. As<br />
long as they are part of our original dataset they will be able to<br />

MEMO<br />
disaggregate their data and develop a result that can compare<br />
their company to the industry average. NCASI has the<br />
familiarity and capability to host the model and there may be<br />
others. Staff will develop parameters, ascertain costs and<br />
bring the plan back to the committee before moving ahead.<br />
o Policy on External Data release – One of our stated goals was<br />
to use the LCA information to populate external databases<br />
EPA, USLCI to show transparency and to remove older, less<br />
accurate information. The committee voted to move ahead<br />
with the release aggregated data including reference flows as<br />
soon as the study is complete.<br />
o Policy on Breaking out Recycled info – We have been<br />
requested to provide 100% virgin and 100% recycled<br />
information to populate the EPA WARM model. The concern<br />
is they will continue to use old information if we don’t provide<br />
new data from our study. While to committee agreed in<br />
principle that it is better to be in control the information by<br />
providing it, there was considerable concern over how it could<br />
be used to drive decisions based on incomplete information.<br />
Staff was asked to put the question in front of the technical<br />
sub-committee of the FBA Sustainability Committee for a<br />
recommendation as to how this could be handled. This<br />
committee would then consider their recommendation and<br />
make a decision prior to any information release.<br />
• Sustainability Messaging – Jon Dewitt of Artemis gave a<br />
presentation of the final messaging platform they had developed in<br />
conjunction with the marketing sub-committee of the Sustainability<br />
Committee. There was consensus that the reputation of our industry<br />
is about both doing and telling in a compelling way to adjust attitudes<br />
and behavior. Staff is to move ahead with these strategic message<br />
points, add data and proof points and use it as a foundation for our<br />
long-term Sustainability Communications plan.<br />
• Communications Plan for 2008 – Cheryl Young provided an update<br />
on communications activities completed in 2008:<br />
o Collateral Material - Sustainability Facts brochures were<br />
developed in 2008 based on available data, pending<br />
completion of the LCA study. Statistics were derived from<br />
AF&PA's EH&S report, recovery and recycling statistics,<br />
NCASI data and from FBA statistics.<br />
o Exhibits - Sustainability messages centering on renewability,<br />
recycling and reuse were promoted with exhibits and speaking<br />

platforms at several industry venues and trade shows in 2008<br />
including:<br />
• FMI - Sustainability Committee*<br />
• Sustainable <strong>Packaging</strong> Coalition - Spring Meeting*<br />
• IoPP - <strong>Packaging</strong> Summit*<br />
• <strong>Packaging</strong> Strategies - Sustainable <strong>Packaging</strong> Forum<br />
• TAPPI - SuperCorrExpo<br />
• PMMI - Pack Expo<br />
o Tag Line and Copy development -- Message strategy<br />
research was completed in 2008 with Artemis Strategy Group,<br />
and a RFP was issued for creative resources to help formulate<br />
clear, concise, powerful messages for communications to be<br />
launched in 2009 and beyond. Creative will be developed<br />
along with a communications plan based on the LCA and<br />
NCASI's additional data, as well as the message strategy<br />
research conducted by Artemis.<br />
o Proof Point Development and testing -- Proof points<br />
supporting the industry message platform were developed and<br />
a draft list was distributed among committees for review. The<br />
LCA, when completed and NCASI will help fill in gaps. Final<br />
"proof points" list will provide supporting documentation for<br />
messages to be used according to audience needs. These<br />
proof points demonstrate transparency of the LCA and<br />
strengthens industry positioning. Their credibility and<br />
relevance will be tested with developed message concepts to<br />
be sure that our communications are believable and resonate<br />
with our target audiences.<br />
7. UPDATES<br />
• Sustainability – Brian O’Banion reported on the Wal-Mart<br />
sustainability activity as follows:<br />
o Work remains to correct scorecard and its underlying data.<br />
o The Extra Credit section of the scorecard has been revised.<br />
o FBA will submit updated data to EPA and GreenBlue for<br />
eventual incorporation into the WMT scorecard.<br />
o WMT is discussing scorecard phase II – country of origin;<br />
recycle content (with 100% recycle as separate material);<br />
recovery (separate value for selling and transport; also by<br />
package type (bottle vs. clamshell)).<br />

MEMO<br />
o WMT is considering migrating supplier packaging data to third<br />
party database (GDSN) so other retailers could access for<br />
their own scorecard methodologies.<br />
o WMT is creating a Sustainability Index – by supplier; by<br />
product and package – as a broader tool. It will incorporate<br />
the packaging scorecard.<br />
• Competing Materials – Dwight Schmidt reported on the two areas<br />
he has been monitoring<br />
o Case Ready Meat – There has been no new developments in<br />
additional retail movement beyond Kroger to RPCs.<br />
o Produce – There are four new developments:<br />
• RPCs are very active in market areas (like the NW fruit<br />
area) that they had previously abandoned. They are<br />
using Wal-Mart as a lever, but checks with Wal-Mart<br />
confirm it is not a mandate and growers have to make<br />
sure it represents a viable economic alternative as the<br />
RPC poolers are requesting long-term contracts.<br />
Weyerhaeuser (now IP) has been working this area<br />
hard with Harry Turvey and Full Disclosure analysis<br />
that shows corrugated remains the most economically<br />
viable solution.<br />
• New tags have been developed that would allow asset<br />
as well as content tracking. RPCs are reportedly close<br />
to implementing this long-life RFID solution as soon as<br />
the price allows.<br />
• No new retailer RPC interest has been identified since<br />
the Kroger wet room item trial moved to full<br />
implementation. Further checks have substantiated<br />
that this roll-out will continue to other large SKU’s that<br />
can be easily implemented. Of course, this gives RPC<br />
poolers more critical mass to increase turns and reduce<br />
costs which, combined with our recent price increases<br />
could trigger a different economic result.<br />
• The Reusable Pallet and Container Coalition is<br />
changing its name to the Reusable <strong>Packaging</strong><br />
Association in a move to gain additional members<br />
beside traditional RPC produce poolers.<br />
• RFID – Brian O’Banion reported to the committee on the current<br />
status of RFID as follows:<br />
o There is continued activity in RFID, although much of the focus<br />
has shifted to areas beyond retail: identification, payment,<br />
reusable / returnable assets and real-time location.<br />

• PH: 847.364.9600 • FX: 847.364.9639
Attachment A<br />
MEMO<br />
o Failure of RFID application today is most likely due to financial<br />
challenges, not technical.<br />
o Many retailers are looking to RFID for niche applications with<br />
strong return:<br />
• usually at item level for fast-moving , higher margin<br />
items (like DVDs & video games)<br />
• Promotional items and displays to verify promotion is<br />
where it should be, when it should be<br />
• Case and pallet level tagging is not primary focus for<br />
retailers except Sam’s Club<br />
o Sam’s Club has announced a timetable to rollout RFID at the<br />
pallet, case and item level in all DC’s by November 1, 2010, with<br />
penalties for non-compliance. This is a different approach than<br />
last attempt; they hope to generate critical mass to achieve<br />
measurable benefits for RFID implementation.<br />
• Short term – major suppliers will focus on compliance;<br />
probably “slap-and-ship”<br />
• Mid-term – suppliers to examine more strategic tagging<br />
solutions, perhaps third-party re-packers and contract<br />
packagers<br />
• Longer-term – most suppliers will migrate to managing<br />
the tagging process entirely in-house or outsource it<br />
entirely to logistics firms or re-packers. If sufficient<br />
volume is achieved, manual tagging will be replaced by<br />
other methods, including “source-tagging” (pre-enabled<br />
packaging).<br />
• Wax Replacement - Dwight Schmidt gave an update:<br />
o We now have 14 certifications, 2 of them by generic<br />
marketplace suppliers<br />
o A concern was registered by one of the generic wax<br />
alternative suppliers that retailers would feel better if the<br />
certification number was printed next to the symbol as a<br />
control. The FBA Executive Committee turned down request<br />
for labeling the certification number on box due to the<br />
complexity of administration vs. the implied value.<br />
o So we have evidence to show retailers we are making<br />
progress the FBA has approved a second survey of wax and<br />
wax alternative for comparison to the original conducted in<br />
2003. It will be undertaken in the first quarter of 2009.<br />
o In an effort to keep this implementation moving we plan on<br />
publishing an update article to industry in the first quarter<br />

8. AICC/CPA INDUSTRY-WIDE SUSTAINABILITY MEETING<br />
• October 23 & 24 in Chicago (see Appendix C) – Steve Young<br />
reported on the jointly sponsored seminar that is the second in a<br />
series initiated by AICC. The CPA will provide speakers and content<br />
for the first day while AICC will coordinate the overall conference as<br />
well as the program for the second day. All committee members<br />
were encouraged to attend and invite others.<br />
9. REVIEW OF 2009 PLAN DELIVERABLES AND BUDGET (see<br />
Appendix D)<br />
The 2009 CPA budget of $600,000 was presented and approved with<br />
the following major deliverables:<br />
• Our Planet Update – Rachel Kenyon noted that all arrangements had<br />
been made with the producers and that the script writing and then<br />
shooting at industry facilities in the Chicago area are awaiting<br />
completion of the LCA. Any companies with “B” roll scenes of mill<br />
and boxplant production are encouraged to let her know as we will<br />
not be able to accomplish all shots in the one day of filming allocated.<br />
• 2009 Communications Plan – Cheryl Young & Rachel Kenyon<br />
discussed development of a communications plan to educate target<br />
audiences about LCA results and corrugated sustainability<br />
positioning. This plan will be created upon completion of the LCA<br />
report and reviewed by FBA's communications committee for<br />
implementation in 2009-2010.<br />
• A new Willard Bishop Study to update retail, foodservice and grower<br />
attitudes toward RPC implementation. The last study was completed<br />
in early 2005.<br />
• Web Page redesign - Cheryl explained that the "public" corrugated<br />
website, www.corrugated.org, will be enhanced and redesigned in<br />
2009 to accommodate new LCA information and sustainability<br />
positioning for the corrugated industry. This site is used as an<br />
information resource for target audiences outside of the corrugated<br />
industry, including retailers, end users, supply chain members,<br />
students, NGOs and activists, and general consumers.<br />
10. REVIEW OF NEW ACTION ITEMS<br />

• Move ahead with NCASI energy and emissions graphs to tell<br />
improvement story but look expand water and effluent graphs as<br />
major gains were made in the 90’s.<br />
• Move ahead with Carbon Footprint calculator<br />
• Develop parameters, ascertain costs and bring recommendation for<br />
LCA hosting back to the committee.<br />
• Ask the technical sub-committee of the FBA Sustainability Committee<br />
for a recommendation as to how to provide the EPA with data for<br />
their WARM model and bring to committee.<br />
11. NEXT MEETING DATE<br />
The next CPA meeting will be held in conjunction with the FBA Annual<br />

Proposal for NCASI’s housing the containerboard and average corrugated container life cycle<br />
model<br />
As you requested, we have discussed with our Operating Committee the proposal for NCASI to house the<br />
containerboard and average corrugated container life cycle assessment model and use it for the industry’s benefit<br />
within defined parameters. The Operating Committee agrees that this is an appropriate role for NCASI and<br />
suggests the following arrangement.<br />
• NCASI agrees to house, and keep in working order for 10 years, the containerboard and average<br />
corrugated container LCA model. There would be no charge for this. The period could be extended by<br />
mutual agreement.<br />
• NCASI agrees to use the model to assist AF&PA and FBA in addressing issues that arise at the<br />
association level. There would normally be no funding needed for this, although NCASI would like to<br />
reserve the right to ask for funding in extraordinary cases where a substantial amount of effort is required.<br />
• NCASI agrees to work with AF&PA and FBA to update the model as needed based on decisions at<br />
AF&PA and FBA. NCASI would likely ask for funding to cover the staff time associated with such<br />
updates.<br />
• NCASI agrees to work with individual AF&PA, FBA and NCASI member companies that produce<br />
containerboard to develop LCA results from the model that incorporate company-specific data. NCASI<br />
will charge companies for this service an amount adequate to cover the NCASI staff time needed to<br />
develop these results. Note that we feel we should include NCASI member companies (which are, for the<br />
most part, the same companies as belong to AF&PA) in this arrangement because they have contributed<br />
to the cost of the study via the effort expended by NCASI in performing the containerboard study.<br />
We look forward to hearing your reaction to this proposed arrangement. If you agree that it is adequate, we would<br />
appreciate having your written concurrence for our records.<br />
Best Regards<br />
