Renew
Recycle
Recover
Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere
For every tree that is harvested, 4 are planted 1
12 million more acres of forest land than 20 years ago 1
Compost
SUS®
Sustainably managed Pine forests
Renewable resource
Renewable energy
Engineered for moist environments
Recyclable
Fibers that are no longer effective are filtered out and can be used for other commercial purposes
Compost
Filler for cement
Paperboard cartons are a lifecycle product. The raw material, fiber, starts as a tree, a renewable resource, and is made into paper based products like virgin and recycled cartons.
Highlight the points in each box as you make your way through the life cycle.
Keys
There are more trees today than 30 years ago
Paper and Paperboard are recovered at 66.8% on of the highest. With wall paper and books included in that number the recovery rate is astonishing compared to other packaging materials
Fibers can be recycled many times
There are end of life scenarios for paperboard and GPI continues to explore ways to utilize waste fiber for energy or other commercial uses.
86% of Americans have access to recycling programs 3
Paper and Paperboard - one of the highest recovered materials at 65% 2
Paperboard recovery is 50% 2

A New Approach
GPI leading industry to create a recycled board certification that:
Provides substantiation for recovered fiber
Does not confuse consumers like Forest Certifications do
Is focused on a single function – validating the recovered material claims
Will not distinguish between pre and post-consumer
Available Q1 ‘14

10. Improving Our World: Biomass
Macon Mill conversion to 100% Biomass energy a carbon-neutral, renewable energy source
$80M investment - high-efficiency biomass boiler and 40 megawatt turbine generator
CO2(e) emissions reduced 200k tons per year
Excess electricity will be placed on grid
Selling renewable energy credits
Complete ‘Q2 2013
The Benefits of Biomass Include:
There’s enough energy produced to power more than 27,000 homes annually!
The greenhouse gas reduction is equal to the emissions of approx. 35,000 cars annually.
66%
The number of
households in
Macon, GA that
could be powered

11. Energy Management – Converting Reducing Purchased Energy
Comprehensive Demand Management Initiative
Goals:
Train GPI personnel to understand the energy flow by mapping it, increase awareness, measure and implement on-going solutions
Reduce energy demand
Followed structured approach - 4 Phase Energy Audit Process:
Data Collection
Measurement Workshop
On-site measurement
Solutions Workshop
Results:
Reduced energy by 8% - 2,150 MGW annually
Identified largest energy users at each facility and prioritized - 4 represented 85%
Developed procedures for smart energy use
Plot energy use by shift and usage event by day and events
4 Phase Energy Audit Process:
Data Collection – all utility invoices for the last two years and 15 minute interval data.
Measurement Workshop – 2 days of training for our plant energy engineers on data collection techniques and how to use specialized equipment. These monitors can be used for measuring temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, and amps used.
On-site measurement – measuring productivity variables, energy flow-mapping, on-site visit by energy expert. Each site reviewed a detailed list of items to measure over a two month period and then analyzed data files.
Solutions Workshop – Analyzed data reviewed, savings projects developed and plans, presentation of findings. This two and a half day process identified projects and ranked them for implementation. Detailed project plans were presented to the Business Unit executives for approval.

12. Water Conservation Recycling Water to Help the Community
Sparta Reuse Project
Collaborative project with city of West Monroe, LA and GPI to generate EPA and FDA quality reused / recycled water
Serves 16 parishes in NE Louisiana – 800,000 people
Draw of 18M gallons a day more than the aquifer was being replenished – GPI 10M a day
Innovative water recycling system developed (first and only in the US)
Results:
Reduced Aquifer overdraw by 40% - additional work to achieve 60% underway
GPI’s draw from the Aquifer reduced 50% - 5M gallons per day
Virtually all waste water in West Monroe is reused
Awards:
WMonroe recognized with EPA Pisces Award
Sustainable Solutions Award LA Water Environment Association
White House recognized the mayor with Champions of Change Award

13. TICCIT 2013
“TREES INTO CARTONS, CARTONS INTO TREES”
Over 18,000 students participated – 35,000 students since 2008
