CMI Mission & Goals
The Can Manufacturers Institute’s mission is to
represent its members’ interests before state and
federal legislative and regulatory bodies. Additionally,
CMI provides members with market development
programs within the parameters of antitrust law. To
fulfill these tasks in 2010, CMI strengthened its
commitment to the goals listed to the right.
CMI’s dedication to these goals is evident in all
that has been accomplished this year. This Annual
Report provides a summary of the past year’s
accomplishments, as well as a look at our strategy to
fulfill these goals in the coming year.

To provide the industry with
effective representation
in Congressional and
Administrative policymaking
on those issues with specific
impact on or important to
the overall success of the
can making industry.
To promote the industry
with trade, local and
national media and
within state and local
governments by publicizing
overall can benefits and
industry achievements.
To collect and disseminate
industry statistics to provide
an accurate assessment
of the industry’s production
and to collect and analyze
consumer market information
to promote the economic
welfare of CMI’s members.
To serve, on an as needed
basis, as a facilitation
resource for the discussion
and resolution of joint industry
technical, operational or
regulatory challenges.

Letter From the President
In 2010, CMI was charged by the Executive
Committee to redefine its goals, activities and
structure. This strategic planning process was
undertaken in response to increased legislative
and regulatory challenges, as well as threats to our
competitive position as a package choice. During the
process, we focused on the need to communicate
the many positive attributes of our industry and
the can, especially with regard to our sustainability
profile. Our then Chairman, John Hayes, played a
critical role in leading the effort that has resulted
in a bold, strong and comprehensive reorganization
strategy based on a core mission to: protect the can;
promote the can; and serve the membership.
To achieve this mission, we have designated
four functions for the association: Legislative;
Sustainability; Science and Regulatory Affairs
(STARs); and Communications, which will provide
the public relations underpinnings for each function
from which to share key messages and information
with can maker stakeholders. Each function will
strategically support CMI’s core mission and align to
optimize communications both within and around our
industry.
I am confident that the new roles and goals within
our organization will deliver an improved ROI for
our membership. Reprioritizing the purpose of the
Can Manufacturers Institute for the entire can
manufacturing industry revealed the need for a
more robust presence in trade and social media,
as well a recognized presence among packaging
industry stakeholders. We are creating a distinct
platform from which to tell our story and reinvigorate
the industry’s goals, direction and messages, and
we will provide the resources necessary to engage
customers, retailers, policymakers and consumers
on industry positions and messages.
CMI’s reorganization will also expand the Executive
Committee to include our supplier members. I am
particularly excited about this change, which will
provide a more holistic industry perspective for
our association, as well as an armory of tools and
information from which to strengthen our position
and messages. Our strength as an industry relies
on the legacy of canned beverage and food safety,
nutrition, affordability and sustainability. It also
depends upon the collaboration of the industry
community. I am confident that by working even
more closely together, we will achieve our mission of
making the can the package of choice.
Best Regards,
Robert Budway, President

Sustainability
Over the past five years, sustainability has become
a pervasive concept for product relevancy in the
marketplace. A “sustainability industry,” based on
concerns over climate, economic competitiveness,
as well as industry, retailer and consumer interests
in “green” or environmentally-friendly products has
transformed production and consumption on a global
scale. The past half decade has been defined by
demands for lifecycle metrics, material downsizing,
commitments to energy, water, waste reduction, and a
lot of “green washing” as well.
While Wal-Mart continues to demand superior quality
and responsibility from its suppliers, other groups
and programs have emerged that have shaped the
terms of business sustainability. Some have reigned
in the sustainability green noise, while others have
only muddied the waters. This period of sustainability
overload, however, seems poised to transition
towards fact-based accountability and authenticity
with the formation of multi-material groups with
altruistic goals and methods.
As can makers, we remain confident in our industry
and the legacy of our sustainability commitments that
began long before “sustainability” was a buzz word.
CMI continues to organize behind the can’s endless
recycling benefits which deliver true value to the
triple bottom line, and we are excited about the new
communications arm and its promise to promote our
package to industry stakeholders and consumers.
CMI’s sustainability/recycling logo is an easy and
effective way to communicate the can’s premier
recycling profile and we hope to use it on cans as
a way to inform consumers about the 100% and
endless recyclability of cans.
CMI will work with other U.S. associations for
increased federal support for recycling programs.
Additionally, the Curbside Value Partnership (CVP),
now its own 501 (c) (3), will extend membership
opportunities to brand owners, multi-material trade
groups and other packaging recycling stakeholders.
CVP hopes that opening its membership will allow
the organization to grow its relevance in the recycling
marketplace and increase recycling rates, funding
and access on a national level.
In May 2011, CMI will host a Global Can Maker
Sustainability Summit in California. Allied association
members from Australia, Brazil, Europe and Japan
have confirmed attendance. We look forward to
discussing lifecycle data sets, sustainability public
relations and marketing activities, as well as climate
change policy items. We will discuss and share best
practices for increasing recycling rates and hope to
leave with goals and promised resources for a global
can maker network and creative platform.

We remain confident
in our industry
and the legacy of
sustainability. 09

Science, Technology and Regulatory
Affairs Committee
The CMI Science, Technology and Regulatory Affairs
(STARs) Committee seeks to: protect, promote and
serve the industry; forecast and resolve technical issues
of common concern to can makers and suppliers;
and educate the industry, regulators and legislators
about the impacts and effects of emerging issues and
standards with respect to the safety of the metal can.
Current trends show that states are adding green chemistry
chemical management bills and regulations to restrict chemicals
of concern. Congress seeks to modernize the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) and enhance federal regulation of chemicals,
while federal agency regulatory agendas are becoming more active.
Green Chemistry and Chemical Regulation:
To date, green chemistry regulations exist or have been proposed
in California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota and Maine, while
many new chemical reform bills have been introduced in the
states. CMI is engaged and generally opposes state efforts to
regulate the use and sale of chemicals in consumer products,
particularly duplicitous efforts to include food-contact/packaging
materials that are already fully regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
We believe chemical regulation should be handled on the federal
level, and not state-based, which creates a patchwork of conflicting
chemical laws.
Most stakeholders recognize that it is time to update the federal
TSCA. A modernized TSCA should help improve confidence in
the safety of chemicals used to manufacture consumer products
and packaging and promote even greater innovation and U.S.
competitiveness in the global economy. CMI advocates that
improvements to TSCA should recognize changes in science and
technology, establish deadlines for review of priority chemicals,
ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
timely and adequate information on use and exposure, promote
innovation and integrate/preempt conflicting state laws governing
chemicals and product safety.

Environmental Health & Safety:
The Committee works closely with and monitors the activity of the
federal and state EHS agencies with the regulatory authority to
impact the can manufacturers industry, including the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and their state counterparts. In addition
to working directly with regulatory staff, information on the status
of regulatory activity and specific alerts about rapidly developing
regulatory and compliance topics can be found in the CMI EHS
Reporter.
On January 18, 2011, President Obama signed an executive
order requiring all agencies to locate burdensome federal
environmental, health and safety regulations that could be rolled
back or repealed. As a result of the order and comments by
manufacturers, OSHA pulled back two important rules that affect
metal packaging:
• OSHA announced it will temporarily withdraw its proposed
additional reporting column for work-related musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) on employer injury and illness logs. This rule
was seen as a way to reignite ergonomics regulation and would
require employers to make medical determinations regarding the
nature of potential MSDs.
• OSHA announced the withdrawal of their proposal to change
the noise control requirements for employers. In October 2010
the agency proposed sweeping changes to OSHA’s longstanding
policy of noise control requirements that went outside the formal
rulemaking process.
Injury & Illness Annual Survey Results:
CMI collects and publishes an annual injury and illness industry
survey. These statistics allow participating companies to compare
their injury and illness statistics to the membership and overall
injury/illness data collected by the Labor Department’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The current survey results reflect a continuing
injury/illness downward trend in reported cases for 2010.
In particular, beverage and beverage ends facilities showed
significant declines.

Communications
In 2010, CMI’s Board of Governors approved
a reorganization plan that included a new
communications function to support CMI’s core
mission to: promote the can; protect the can; and
serve the members.
CMI determined that future PR programs needed to
move beyond single-year campaigns and develop
a longer-term communications strategy. Such
an approach would ensure that the industry’s
communications investments directly advance its
broader goals and objectives, as well as maximize the
return on those investments by ensuring each year’s
communications efforts build upon those of the
previous years.
In developing the strategy, CMI held multiple
meetings with member companies and consulted
with industry allies, including the steel and aluminum
sectors. Through these discussions and based on
prior campaigns and research, it became clear that
“sustainability” was the angle with the greatest
potential to both promote and proactively protect the

can by positioning it as an attractive, environmentally
friendly package.
To that end, CMI is building out a detailed
communications strategy that targets key audiences
with tailored sustainability messaging, and delivers
those messages using a variety of earned media,
social media and paid media tactics. Following are
five key messages:

Cans are endlessly recyclable back into new
cans
Cans are made with abundant and recycled
materials
Cans are safe and lock in nutritional quality
Cans prevent food waste and spoilage
Cans are economically efficient containers
for customers and retailers

2012 Farm Bill
Debate on the 2012 Farm Bill is expected to begin
in summer 2011. Current economic conditions
and budget cut commitments by Congress and the
President may lead to a flat or decreased 2012 Farm
Bill budget. It is unlikely that money for programs
like nutrition and food stamps, which make up
approximately 75% of the agriculture budget, will be
cut.
CMI will lobby for nutrition program options in
the new Farm Bill. These include the continued
robust support of overall nutrition funding levels,
the inclusion of canned products in the fruits
and vegetables snack program, the importance
of canned products in fighting obesity among low
income Americans and the expansion of the pointof-purchase
promotion pilot program that was
included in the 2008 Farm Bill. Of equal importance
is directing State Block Grant funding to encourage
the incorporation of canned products into the WIC
program and expanding the Farm Flex production
levels.
With regard to Research Title Options, CMI would
like to direct the USDA to conduct research of
the economic value of the canned food industry,
including the impact on farmers and local
economies. CMI will continue to monitor the
Know Your Food, Know Your Farmer program and
its potential impact on the canned food industry.
The USDA may ask for additional authority in the
Commodity, Conservation or Rural Development
Titles. This would allow greater flexibility in the use
of federal resources to support the program. CMI will
also advocate for the direction of funds toward the
expansion of canned food operations.

Beverage Can Public Relations Committee/
The Great American Can RoundUp (GACR)
CMI’s recycling program continues to focus on the
value of consumer education and the environmental,
social and economic benefits associated with can
recycling. In November 2010, CMI launched the
Recycling School Challenge under the Great American
Can RoundUp (GACR) banner at the National Middle
School Association Annual Conference.
More than five hundred teachers registered for the
Recycling School Challenge that began on America
Recycles Day on November 15, 2010 and ends
on Earth Day, April 22, 2011. The top per capita
recycling school in each state and the District of
Columbia will win $500; the champion recycling
school will receive an additional $5,000. Monthly
posts and recycled UBC amounts continue to grow.
Since 2006, over 110,000 can recycling curricula
have been mailed or downloaded from
www.cancentral.com. Work is underway to update
CMI’s flagship ABCs of Environmental Education
curriculum for upper elementary and middle school
students. A coloring storybook about Al the Can
and an interactive PowerPoint activity for class
presentations or field trips will be available soon.
CMI helped honor the 100th anniversary of the
Boy Scouts with a booth at the National Boy Scout
Jamboree in summer 2010. CMI welcomed some
60,000 daily attendees and 43,000 resident Jambo
scouts and leaders over ten days and generated
interest in the return of the GACR Scout Council
Challenge, one of the few programs where Boy and
Girl Scouts compete against each other. Rollout of
the Scout Council Challenge is planned for January of
2012 and will be promoted to the Girl Scouts at their
National Convention in November 2011.
CMI hosted its eighth consecutive intra-industry
America Recycles Day (ARD) Challenge in 2010,
continuing to raise recycling awareness and reinforce
the industry’s commitment to sustainability and
the environment. During the competition, plant
employees delivered can recycling messages to their
communities and engaged schools and communities
in recycling. Aluminum can suppliers and
manufacturers recycled over 140 million beverage
cans and raised money for Habitat for Humanity, the
American Red Cross, Toys for Tots, Boys and Girls
Clubs, local parks, schools and recycling programs.
The ARD School Challenge drew 17,000 students
who recycled an average 309 cans per student. In
76 days, participating schools raised over $20,000.
Most schools pledged to recycle through Earth Day
under the GACR School Challenge. Their success
stories and ideas throughout the year will be posted
on Al the Can’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
The 2011 America Recycles Day Challenge will
kickoff on June 15, 2011 and run through American
Recycles Day on November 15, 2011. CMI
encourages all can suppliers and manufacturers to
participate. Additionally, CMI has partnered with Food
For All, a non-profit that will facilitate the distribution
of recycling proceeds to soup kitchens and food
banks. This partnership will allow facilities to turn
their cans into cash to feed the hungry.
