• Achieved or exceeded all targets – despite impact of the global recession on commodity prices

• Achieved 22% plastic bag reduction

• Greater recovery of steel, aluminum and plastics through new collection and processing facilities

• Adapted to difficult trading conditions to maintain markets for recovered materials

YEAR 5 Report Card

Consultation process while Waste Minimisation Act regulations being established.

Development of scope and KPI’s for Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme within the Waste Act to meet:

• Section 14: Measurable waste minimisation• Section 15: Reduction in environmental harm

Preparing for lifeafter the Accord

10

• Old model Accord does not fit Waste Act

• There is confusion on the roles of member companies, sector groups and PAC.NZ in a single scheme.

Recommendation

Rather than a single scheme, split the roles of companies, sectors and coordinating function.

Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme• Front End of Packaging life cycle

• Design• Procurement• Reduction

Material Specific Product Stewardship Schemes

• Specific to material types• KPI’s• Recovery• Re-use

Umbrella• Coordinating industry, sectors and

stakeholders activities and opportunities

13

• Umbrella Plan

• Packaging PS scheme Design and specification

• Material specific scheme Glass Paper Plastics Cans

SECTOR PAC NZ

UMBRELLA PLAN

16

PACKAGING PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP SCHEME

•Limited to direct members of PAC NZ

•Members commit to:

packaging specification and design which meets the scheme’s environmental Code of Practice (being developed)

Measurable waste minimisation via reducing post industrial packaging waste to landfill.

SECTOR SCHEME

•Limited to direct members of Association

•Varies in complexity according to material type and resource requirements•Members commit to:

• Measurable waste minimisation e.g. developing markets for recovered materials; post industrial recycling

• Produce recycling data

CO-ORDINATION UMBRELLA Alignment with Best Practice and Trans Tasman Targets and KPI’s Collates and reports annual recycling data Raises and assigns funds for agreed programmes which have measurable effect

on waste minimisation and deliver an ongoing reduction in environmental harm.

20

Packaging PS Scheme KPI’s

21

Design and Procurement % Compliance with new Code of Practice % Compliance with new procurement criteria % “buy recycled” policies % compliance with approved recycling labeling

Measurable Waste minimisation Kilogram of packaging consumed per capita Post industrial recycling % increase year on year

Energy and Water Use % Companies formal Reduction Plan Other Metrics to be developed

Education Build members knowledge

22

Sector Schemesvary by material

23

Develop markets for specific materials Tonnes by packaging type recycled due to scheme

funds or projects Post industrial recycling % increase year on year

Research into: alternative disposals e.g. Waste to energy Alternative (& higher value) uses for recovered materials

Material based Eco requirements e.g. Forestry Stewardship Council / PEFC certification Degradable Plastics guidelines Material specific code of practice

Service Material specific mass balance data

24

Umbrella Activities

25

Measurable Waste Minimisation Kilograms by packaging type collected via

public place recycling due to scheme Markets developed for composite materials

Implement educational and consumer awareness programme

$ spend market research data

Reduce environmental harm e.g. Report recyclability of packaging in NZ market Report CO2 saving per tonne diverted from waste

Service Report packaging recycled as % of consumption

32

Consultation process with all stakeholders

Continue Development of scope and KPI’s for Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme

Understand and build on the value propositions

Continue working with MFE to align and produce a leading edge coordinated Plan
