•
•
•
•
•
•
Raw Material
Manufacturing
Packaging Design
Distribution
Product Use
Recovery / End of Life
 Build partnerships for
greater success
• Collaboration helps
uncover additional
opportunities
• Partnering enables supply
chain improvements
beyond one’s own
company
Raw Material Sourcing
Managing Natural Resources
Renewable
 Paper-based packaging is made from trees, a renewable resource-- our fiber-based packaging is 100% renewable
Third-Party Certified
 Our containerboard and boxes are third party certified
 Our use of a particular standard is dependent upon the location of the facility or forest--sourcing fiber from the
closest source is one way that we ensure our environmental responsibility
 Currently 100% of our boxes can be labeled with the SFI Fiber Sourcing logo
Regenerate the Forest
 Regeneration is a critical component of the forest life cycle, and use of our corrugated packaging encourages long
term, responsible forest stewardship
 Demand for trees helps ensure that tree farmers will continue to keep their land forested rather than sell their land
for development or clear it to grow other crops
 Demand for wood-based products helps to maintain forests and ensures that trees are managed responsibly
Recycle Balance
 We balance renewable, virgin fiber with recycled fiber for optimal performance for our customer’s supply chain
Third-Party Certification
 Certification ensures wood fiber is tracked from the forest to the
consumer, with assurance that it comes from responsibly managed forests
 Organizations like the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) set
certification standards, then accredited auditing firms verify a company’s
performance against those standards–much like a financial audit verifies
a company’s financial performance
 Certification is supported by conservation groups, fights illegal logging
while recognizing rights of indigenous peoples and protects water, soil,
wildlife, and endangered forests
90% of paperboard and 93% of containerboard produced in
the United States is supplied by SFI Participants
The SFI® mark is a registered mark of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative
.
Certification Statistics
How Many Forests Are Certified?
Across the world less than 10 percent of forests are certified,
and in North America, approximately 30 percent are certified.
U.S. Forestland Ownership
Who owns the American Forests?
Government-Owned
(146 million acres)
Privately-Owned
(356 million
acres)
Because approximately 70% of U.S. forestland is privately-owned,
certifying forests is difficult and very fragmented
Commitment to 3rd Party Certification
 International Paper supports 3rd party certification – all credible
organizations
 Our use of a particular standard will be dependent upon the location of the
facility or forest
 The idea that one forest certification system is preferable over all others is
based on non-empirical, obsolete information
 We believe that the focus should be on reaching the 90% of the forests that
are uncertified with improved standards, rather than debating areas that are
already sustainably managed
 Our global certification policy and the certification status of our operations
are publicly available at ipsustainability.com
Balance in Sources of Fiber
Which is better virgin (new) or recycled?
Recovered Fiber
Virgin Fiber
Collection/separation
Harvest
• Distance to transport
• Distance to transport
• Re-pulp & de-ink
• Chip & pulp
• Fossil fuel energy
• Biomass energy
• Solid waste
There is no one “right” answer -- each choice results in tradeoffs
between performance and environmental impact
Virgin vs. Recycled Comparison
Over the lifetime of a box
 Performance was
similar in the first
2,000 minutes, after
which the recycled
box failed
 And eventually (after
5,000 mins) so did
the virgin box
Considerations for your supply chain requirements and demands
should be assessed to get the optimal performance.
Cyclic humidity (50% RH for 6 hours  90% RH for 6 hours  .Loaded at 6.4% of BCT(or 11.4% of BCT @ 85%RH
Summary Virgin vs. Recycled
Which is better for the environment?
It Depends!
 Paper fibers can be recycled an average of 4-7 times, so both are
essential to making the entire system more sustainable
 There cannot be recycled paper without virgin paper to begin and sustain
the cycle
 Virgin fiber that is grown and harvested sustainably helps keep private
land forested
 Requiring SKU / product specific recycled content percentages suboptimize the system and can lead to less sustainable practices
IP finds the best suitable outlet for the fiber, leading to a
balance between virgin and recovered fiber.
Manufacturing
Reducing Our Environmental Footprint
Energy
 Our mills use >70% renewable energy which is self-generated and carbon neutral
 Since 2003, IP has invested over $250 million in energy efficiency improvements.
Green House Gas (GHS) Emissions
 We are founding members of the voluntary Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the EPA Climate Leaders
Program in the U.S.
 Under the Climate Leaders program, we committed to reducing emissions 15% from 2000-2010, and exceeded
that goal by double
Fuel
 We have increased the amount of renewable fuel usage by over 5%since 2004, and decreased fuel oil and
natural gas use by 49% per ton of product since 2001 in the U.S.
Water
 We are focused on water conservation, recycling water within our mills and protecting water quality in waterways
that receive our water after use
 From 2004-2008, our effluent decreased by 4%
 When accounting for evaporation and precipitation, over 99.5% of total water inputs are returned to the
environment
GHG Emissions
Under the Climate Leaders program, we committed to reducing
emissions 15% from 2000-2010, and exceeded that goal by double
Climate Leaders Data, includes all US Operations
Packaging Design
Remove
 Through innovative paper and packaging design, we have made extensive progress in removing unnecessary
packaging and less desirable materials while delivering value to suppliers, retailers and end-users
Reduce
 Using performance-based and lighter weight papers and liners, our design experts optimize the amount of
material in the packaging, so it’s not over engineered but serves its purpose across the supply chain
 “Right-size” and optimize packaging design for performance, product-to-packaging ratio and cube utilization for
efficiency across the supply chain
Renewable
 Our structural design experts help customers determine the right balance of fibers and the right packaging
design to minimize material requirements without compromising strength and performance
Recycle / Recyclable
 Our corrugated packaging is 100 % recyclable and contains an average of 34% recycled content
 We offer many innovative solutions that replace packaging materials that are not recyclable
We collectively improve packaging sustainability and the environmental impact when we share the
latest innovations, collaborate together and incorporate new ideas into products and activities

 Turnkey solutions under one roof enable manufacturing, pack out, etc. to all occur in one location vs.
travel from facility to facility
 Through optimized design, we reduce materials used, maximize cube utilization and product-topackaging ratio, freight costs and reduce truckloads and lower green house gas emissions with less
fuel
Warehouse
 Efficiency gains in labor and warehousing with fewer pallets, modular designs, and shelf-ready
packaging
Reduce Packaging
Power Wing Display / Self-Shipper
Reduces the environmental footprint of the standard
power wing display by minimizing the number of components and
eliminating the master shipper
•
Self-shipping display uses an “overwrap” with a
perforated die-cut that can be removed for
easier retail setup
•
40% less corrugated material used – reduction
of display components and no master shipper
•
Overall cost savings – 4 fewer pallets needed for
same quantity of displays shipped
•
The gravity feed design provides large billboard
space to communicate brand message and
product benefits
Product Use
Reuse
 Our corrugated containers are often used multiple times to transport, protect and store products. Our
engineers develop packaging systems with the entire supply chain in mind and use materials that are
reusable and returnable
 Our corrugated packaging is 100 percent recyclable, so after its initial useful life it can be recycled
and reused to make another product
Performance
 Products are designed and engineered for top performance with minimal environmental impact—from
protection and retail sales to reusability and recoverability
 Design incorporates in-store activities to minimize the number of components and complexity of
getting the display to the retail floor and shopped by the customer
Reusable Packaging
Bulk Bin Packaging

Recycle(able) Packaging
Use materials made of the highest recycled content without
compromising quality
• In 2008, recovery of Old Corrugated
Containers was 81%
• But paper production can not rely on
recovered fiber alone - Paper fibers
can only be recycled 4-7 times
• Recovered fiber growth rate is slower than
the projected global fiber demand needs
• International Paper is one of the world’s
largest paper recyclers – 6 million tons
collected
• International Paper’s corrugated packaging
contains an average of 34% total recycled
content
