Paper-based communications are critically important for millions of Americans – especially for seniors and citizens without online access. Yet federal and state governments continue to take actions to phase out or eliminate paper-based op-tions, imposing hardships for mil-lions of vulnerable Americans and having negative consequences for the paper industry. These efforts, under the rationale of cost saving, are imposed without any congres-sional oversight or input from citi-zens. AF&PA is ramping up its ad-vocacy to educate legislators and regulators about the unintended cost shifting and access barriers that elimination of paper-based in-

formation and services imposes for many people who depend on or pre-fer paper.

Nearly 36 million American house-holds do not have Internet access at home. Almost 19 million senior citi-zens don’t own a computer. These enormous numbers of Americans are left behind by digital-only ac-cess to government services. AF&PA believes this government “rush to digitize” is short-sighted and causes harm to citizens. The U.S. Treasury Department, for example, on January 1, 2012, stopped sales of over-the-counter paper savings bonds and forced people to buy them online via Trea-sury Direct, requiring the intended recipient’s taxpayer ID number, Social Security number, bank

account and other information. Since the digitization of this long-standing savings and investment vehicle, savings bond sales declined from 6.8 million EE bonds worth $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2011 to 400,000 bonds sold in 2013, a 94 per-cent reduction. Paper-based federal benefits checks, Social Security earnings statements and even tax forms have also been subject to elimination or minimization, making these critical services difficult or impos-sible for millions of Americans, all without congressional approval

or public input. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration in December proposed that the pa-per informational insert specifying dosage and contraindications in-cluded in pharmaceutical packag-ing be eliminated and replaced by on-line references. AF&PA advocacy on paper options is part of our mis-sion to support member interests. We are increasing efforts focused on policies that protect citizens’ rights to paper-based information and services. Through combining AF&PA efforts and resources with others, including the Consumers for

Paper Options coalition and the Pharmaceutical Literature Asso-ciation, we are making a difference. Our advocacy contributed to the Social Security Administration rein-stating the mailing of Social Security Earnings statements. In addition, we have provided education and informational tools for congres-sional leaders to work with us in challenging an FDA-proposed rule for digital-only distribution of prescribing information for pharmaceuticals. As we address new challenges in 2015, AF&PA will be an effec-

tive voice for congressional and executive branch support of federal policies protecting a citizen’s right to choose paper-based in-formation and services through advocacy, education and commu-nication. We will inform lawmak-ers about the negative trade-offs of excluding paper options, as well as seek opportunities to include paper options in legislation. In addition, the Consumers for Paper Options coalition has been restructured, with AF&PA taking a leadership role in the strategic direction of the coalition and serving as the Chair of the Government Affairs Committee. A key advocacy focus will be edu-cating legislators about the faulty economic logic of going digital. While government agencies are touting the cost savings of elimi-nating paper and printing, identity theft and fraud is rapidly escalat-ing and costing the government billions. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, for example, reported that some 270,518 taxpayers were affected by identity theft in 2010. In 2011, this figure more than doubled, and doubled again in 2012, and through the first half of 2013 there were 1.6 million taxpayers affected by identity theft. AF&PA advocacy will include research that supports our positions as we engage policymakers. A 2013 national survey by Infotrends con-cluded that an overwhelming ma-jority of American adults across all demographic groups believe that consumers should not be forced to receive information in a digital format. In that study, 73 percent of respondents say it is wrong to ex-pect everyone to go online to inter-act with government agencies, and 84 percent say it is not OK for the private sector to initiate a forcible shift to digital information. The sur-vey also revealed that more than 90 percent of young people share the belief that paper options should be preserved, with 92 percent respond-ing that paper format bills, state-ments and information should con-tinue to be provided to those who want it, free of charge or penalty. Americans deserve unfettered access to government information, services and benefits. AF&PA will be working diligently to firmly establish their right to choose between digital and paper formats and preserving access for millions of citizens who depend on the ability to make that choice.

What Mixed-waste MRFs Mean for Recovered Fiber Industry Leadership Session: CEO PanelCommunities around the U.S. are

increasingly facing proposals to build mixed-waste materials recovery facilities (MRFs), which would take in and separate recyclable material from organics and other waste. Supporters of mixed-waste MRFs present these facilities as a solu-tion to low recycling rates in certain communities as well as a valuable resource for parties interested in re-covering energy or engineered fuel from waste materials. Detractors, however, claim that since the waste is comingled before it heads to the MRF, the process degrades both the quantity and quality of recyclable material, and may divert otherwise recyclable fiber from use in prod-ucts to energy production.

Impact on the SupplyAF&PA has a goal to ensure a con-tinuing, expanding domestic re-covered fiber to help meet glob-al demand. To determine how mixed-waste MRFs impact the U.S. recovered fiber supply, AF&PA com-missioned research from leading recycling and solid waste systems consulting firm Reclay StewardEdge (RSE). RSE’s research concluded that concerns about mixed-waste MRFs are justified because they can reduce the supply of mill-quality

recovery and provide flexibility

for local implementation.

recovered fiber available to make new products. Mixed-waste MRFs sometimes fail to separate fiber for recycling. Due to high quality specifications and the ensuing risk of having loads rejected, processing fiber is costly. Operators are often contractually bound to meet diversion goals. To meet the goals, recyclable paper may be diverted to options such as waste-to-energy and engineered fuel production.

Recovered materials produced by mixed-waste MRFs tend to be of lower quality than those produced by systems where recyclable ma-terials are separated from munici-pal solid waste prior to collection. Comingled waste streams lead to increased risk of contamination of fiber, which can render it unsuitable for recycling. This increased contamination — from sources such as moisture, food waste, film plastics and other mate-

rials — also results in mixed-waste MRFs recovering a lower percent-age of marketable fiber than single-stream processing facilities.

AF&PA’s PositionAF&PA is in favor of market-based solutions that increase both the quantity and quality of paper recov-ery and provide flexibility for local implementation. AF&PA is in favor of collection, processing and utilization of recov-ered fiber in a way that enables it to go to its highest value end use as feedstock to manufacture new prod-ucts, and is against the diversion of recovered paper from use in manu-facturing products. Separating dry recyclable mate-rial from wet or organic solid waste is important to ensure high-quality recovered fiber. Therefore, AF&PA opposes collection and processing systems that increase contamina-tion of fiber because of the para-mount importance of the quality of the industry’s products, especially food contact paper and packaging. AF&PA is educating policymak-ers about mixed-waste MRFs’ po-tential to degrade the recovered fiber stream and ensure that fiber will go to its highest value end-use as a feedstock to manufacture new paper products.

Monday’s Industry Leadership Session, sponsored by Sappi North America, will feature a distinguished panel of industry CEOs who will provide their unique perspectives on issues of importance to the paper industry. Panelists include Mark Gardner, president and chief executive officer of Sappi North America; John Luke, chairman and chief executive officer of MWV; Travis Mlakar, president of Millcraft; Debabrata Mukherjee, president and chief executive officer of Finch Paper; and Mark Sutton, chairman and chief executive officer of International Paper. The Industry Leadership Session will be followed by the Paper2015 reception, sponsored by Domtar, where all event participants can come together, meet their peers make new connections. The Industry Leadership Session will be held Monday, March 16 from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Grand Ball-room on the 16th floor of the Trump Hotel Chicago. This session is open to Full Access Pass holders only. The Paper2015 Reception will be held in the Grand Foyer on the 16th floor from 5:30 p.m. The reception is open to all Paper2015 registrants.

Domtar Expands “The Paper Trail” Digital Transparency ToolDomtar announced significant up-dates to The Paper Trail®, its award-winning interactive tool that helps customers trace the impacts of their paper purchases. The totally reno-vated site includes social and eco-nomic information in addition to environmental data, broadening the meaning of sustainability. It repre-sents Domtar’s belief that businesses should operate transparently, pull-ing back the curtain on their opera-tions and the resulting impacts. With the latest additions, The Paper Trail (www.domtarpapertrail.com) now showcases the people and places behind the products, featuring stories and photos from all 13 of Domtar’s North American mills. The tool assesses Domtar’s community investments by tracking charitable donations and volunteer efforts, such as recycling programs or educational initiatives. It also demonstrates the paper industry’s impact on the economy, as Domtar employs nearly 9,000 people across the United States and Canada. In doing so, The Paper Trail helps both businesses and consumers under-stand the holistic impact of their purchases. “Since first introducing The Paper Trail in 2011, our thinking has continued to evolve regarding what sustainability encompasses,” said Paige Goff, Vice President of Sus-tainability and Business Communi-cation. “The new site embraces all three legs of the ‘sustainability stool’ by assessing not only our environ-mental footprint, but our social and economic impact as well. It demon-strates Domtar’s commitment to the towns we operate in — not only as an environmental advocate, but also as a driver of community initiatives

The Paper Trail provides gate-to-gate impact estimates for Domtar

products across five environmental categories: fiber, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water, renewable energy and waste.

and a creator of thousands of jobs.”The Paper Trail provides gate-to-gate impact estimates for Domtar products across five environmental categories: fiber, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water, renew-able energy and waste. It provides relevant context by illustrating how Domtar compares to the rest of the industry in these categories and, importantly, highlights areas for

improvement in addition to show-casing what Domtar is doing well. “The Paper Trail illustrates many of the complex issues we carefully consider when evaluating opportu-nities to improve our performance,” said Brian Kozlowski, Senior Man-ager, Sustainability Performance Optimization. “We’ve used the tool to display mill sustainability data in an interesting and interactive way — and we’re inviting the public to come along on the journey.” The Paper Trail offers a clear and complete answer to the question “where does my paper come from?” It goes beyond environmental data to show customers how their pur-chase of North American paper can create a positive ripple effect on local communities. “We can’t always promise perfec-tion, but we believe our custom-ers deserve transparency. That’s a promise we will always deliver — and it’s the reason we created The Paper Trail in the first place,” said Goff.

Appvion Launches First Thermal Receipt Paper Made Using Vitamin C

Expera Specialty Solutions Announces Triple Chain-Of-Custody Certification

Appvion recently launched a new thermal receipt paper made with vitamin C instead of phenols like bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS). The new receipt paper is now available to stores nationwide.

“Appvion understands that some consumers care about what’s in their receipt paper, not just what is printed on it. In response to demand for a more natural receipt paper, we now offer Alpha® Free, which is manufactured using vitamin C and meets the needs for people who are concerned about phenols like BPA,” said Dave Pauly, product manager for thermal receipt paper at Appvion. According to Appvion, Alpha Free receipt paper is the first to use vitamin C in place of traditional phenol-based thermal develop-ers like BPA, BPS or controversial

phenol substitutes. Vitamin C serves as an image developer in this new thermal chemistry. “Vitamin C is well-known, well-studied and used daily as a nutri-tional supplement by millions of Americans,” Pauly said. “Our re-search identified strong consumer preference for vitamin C over other options we considered. Vitamin C also produces a natural yellow col-or on receipt paper, which makes it easy to identify. Given those ben-efits, we focused our development efforts on a vitamin C formulation that fulfills customers’ preferences for a phenol-free product without compromising product reliability or performance.” Appvion recently began rolling out Alpha Free to retailers, and it can now be found in select stores around the country. Appvion produces thermal, car-bonless, security, colored bond, inkjet, digital specialty and Encap-sys products. For more information, visit www.appvion.com.

Expera Specialty Solutions has com-pleted renewal of Chain-of-Custody Certification and now offers certifi-cation through the Forest Steward-ship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), as well as certification from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest

Certification (PEFC) at all four of their Wisconsin facilities. Previously the four facilities carried separate certifications, but now Expera is certified under the Chain-of-Custo-dy Multi-site certification standard. Expera noted that consumers increasingly desire guarantees that harvested trees, paper, and wood products come from properly man-aged sources. Offering FSC, SFI, and PEFC certification not only supports customer requirements, it also con-firms Expera’s sustainability com-mitment known as SOAR™. “We believe sustainable timber harvesting is imperative to main-taining healthy forests while provid-ing renewable raw materials,” ex-plained Russ Wanke, President and CEO of Expera Specialty Solutions. “Offering all three certifications through our four facilities provides a unique solution for our customers and enhances our SOAR commit-ment of going ‘Above Beyond for a Better Earth’.” For more information about Expera’s sustainability commitment please visit: www.experaspecialty.com.

A recent survey commissioned by Metroland Media suggests that a significant majority of Ontario con-sumers (97% of those surveyed) continue to rely on flyers for making purchasing decisions. The study, produced by BrandSpark Interna-tional, also indicated that, despite many marketers feeling pressure to move to digital advertising and on-line flyer options, many consum-ers still look to print for informa-tion about shopping, even among younger demographics.

The consumers who participated in the online survey read grocery, mass merchant and drug store flyers on a regular basis and said that they consider print flyers more valuable than online or email by a significant margin. “Despite the trend toward online forms of advertising and marketing to consumers, we heard directly from Ontario consumers that they rely on print flyers more than any other medium when looking for deals, gift ideas and making a purchase,” said Ian Oliver, President of Metro-land Media. “The value in print flyer

advertising is real and the research indicates that many consumers view print flyers as indispensable.” Highlights from the Ontario con-sumers surveyed include:• 97% read flyers (only 3% report

‘never’ reading flyers)• 94% of grocery consumers and

88% of mass merchant consumers read flyers

• 73% of consumers use flyers to learn about new products

• Consumers spend more time read-ing print flyers compared to online and email flyer

Print flyers remain strong as a source for identifying sales, maxi-mizing value and finding new prod-ucts. For example, survey results suggest that consumers look to print flyer advertising significantly more than store websites to research in-formation, including what deals are happening (3.3 times more), com-paring price and value options (twice as much), researching the range of products available (1.6 times more) and researching which stores carry a product (1.6 times more). Consumers surveyed told Metro-land that flyers allow them to discov-er new products. 71% of consumers surveyed say they are more likely to visit a retailer that sends them flyers. Additionally, 72% say that flyers im-pact their purchase decisions, and more than half say that flyers are a valuable part of their life. More than half (51%) have visited a store’s web-site after reading a flyer.

International Paper announced that it has been named by FORTUNE magazine once again as one of “America’s Most Admired Compa-nies.” This is International Paper’s 12th time in the last 13 years to make the list. Companies are scored in nine categories: ability to attract and retain talented people, quality of management, social responsibility to the community and the environ-ment, innovativeness, quality of products or services, wise use of cor-porate assets, financial soundness, long-term investment value and ef-fectiveness in doing business globally. “This recognition is well-deserved

for our 58,000 talented employees around the globe that made this possi-ble,” said Mark Sutton, chairman and chief executive officer. “We continue to develop our employees to their full potential, while providing the highest level of customer service and innovative products. Congratulations to all of our employees for making this happen.” Out of the nine key attributes on which companies are judged, Inter-national Paper took the top spot in four of those categories within its industry. Those categories included, people management, use of corporate assets, financial soundness and global competitiveness.

Norkol over the past few years has made two major capital invest-ments, one at each of its two largest converting facilities near Chicago, Illinois and Dallas, Texas — expand-ing both Norkol’s offering of prod-ucts and converting capabilities. In Texas, the drive to enter new markets is assisted by a unique sheeting operation that focuses

on packing news and Kraft-sealed moving pads, all while repurpos-ing a variety of publishing grades. Familiarity with newsprint and paperboard markets has helped drive the company to the growing demand for shipping and its packag-ing materials. Norkol’s goal is to maintain de-mand for historically successful grades by finding new outlets and uses for paper products. One ex-ample is the use of sheets of news-print — a traditional print grade —

for shipping and packing purposes. The moving pads and the ability to utilize most grades as a layered me-dium, allows Norkol to make worth-while bids on excess material that turns up on printers’ and publishers’ floors. This addition compliments the Mesquite facility’s three versa-tile winders and 125,000 square feet of warehousing space — perfect for converting and storing stock for cus-tomers’ just-in-time needs. At Norkol’s headquarters in Northlake, Illinois, a truly one-of-a-kind machine, the RollRazor, was recently installed to supplement Northlake’s five winders. The com-bination of a giant circular saw and a robotic arm with a sanding head, RollRazor lets Norkol circumvent the winding process yet keep the same smooth finished cut. The in-novative machine converts web rolls for customers who require rolls with mill tension or just slitting off inches of paperboard to create perfect trim. This in turn also increases efficiency for jobs run on Norkol’s two preci-sion sheeters. For more information about Norkol, please see the company’s ad on page 11 or visit: www.norkol.com.

Sappi North America Wins Awards for Excellence in Mill Management

Familiarity with newsprint and paperboard markets has

helped drive Norkol to the growing demand for shipping and its packaging materials.

Sappi North America has been selected as a winner in two categories of the paper industry’s prestigious 2014 Pulp & Paper International (PPI) Awards — Managing Risk and Safety and Mill Manager of the Year. Sappi North America was chosen as a winner in the Managing Risk and Safety category for being truly innovative in its approach to loss prevention and safety, advancing closer to the company’s goal of zero injuries. “Being recognized by our peers as the best paper company for a risk-free environment with dedicated employees is a fantastic honor,” said Ken Fox, Corporate Manager of Safety and Health, Sappi North America. “Winning the Managing Risk and Safety award is a testament to what Sappi employees have col-lectively achieved through persis-tent team work as we strive to main-tain our long history of leadership in safety performance.” As the recipient of the Mill Man-ager of the Year award, Mike Haws, Managing Director of Sappi’s Som-erset Mill in Maine, was recognized

for the Somerset Mill’s outstanding performance and ability to show continuous innovation in the pulp and paper industry. The combined efforts of the entire Sappi Somerset Mill team made it possible to successfully implement a growth strategy for the increas-ingly challenging pulp and paper in-dustry,” said Haws. “This award rec-ognizes the achievements of Sappi’s bold, ambitious plan for driving in-novation in our Somerset Mill, while also taking into account our com-mitment to stringent environmental and safety factors.” Sappi North America was also nominated as a finalist in Environ-mental Strategy of the Year for its sustainable company-wide strategy and Innovative Printing & Writ-ing Campaign of the Year for the success of its online educational platform, Sappi etc. Sappi Europe was nominated as a finalist for Business Strategy of the Year category based on its imple-mentation of a successful growth strategy addressing the changing needs of its customers.

EU Requests WTO Dispute Settlement Panel over Russia’s Excessive Import Duties The EU on Feb. 26 requested the establishment of a dispute settle-ment panel at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva concerning Russia’s excessive im-port duties on different groups of products including paper products. This request follows EU efforts to find a solution with Russia since it joined the WTO in August 2012, including through formal WTO consultations that were held in November, states the European Commission. Upon joining the WTO, Russia committed to keep its import du-ties below the limits expressed in the accession documents. However, according to the opinion expressed by the EU Commission, it has con-tinued taxing a number of products across various sectors more heav-ily than agreed. Currently, this is still the case for certain products of interest for the EU. Russia deviates from what was decided at the time it was joining the WTO — it applies a higher duty rate, up to 15% instead of 5%. The request for the estab-lishment of a panel will be discussed for the first time at the

meeting of the WTO Dispute Set-tlement Body (DSB) on March 10. At that meeting Russia can, under the dispute settlement rules of the WTO, object to the establishment of the panel. In case the parties don’t reach any agreement the following DSB meet-ing will be held on March 25, Russia will be unable to block the request and, consequently, the panel will be established. The following step after the establishment of the panel is the composition of the panel by the parties and/or the WTO Director-General, by selecting three per-sons serving as panelists, who will then start the actual adjudication procedure.

Finnpulp Progressing with Plans to Build 1.1 Million Tonne Pulp Mill in Finland

Statistics: A Resource Built for Members by Members

Mohawk Launches New Skytone Swatchbook

Finnpulp Ltd. announced that it is progressing with plans to build a EUR 1.4 billion pulp mill in Kuopio, Finland. The proposed pulp mill would have an annual production capac-ity of 1.1 million tonnes of softwood pulp, 60,000 tonnes of tall oil (a by-product of the Kraft process of wood pulp production), and 0.8 TWh bio-electricity to the national grid. Finnpulp explained that long-fiber softwood pulp is used in the produc-tion of tissue paper and packaging paper grades, which are forecast to maintain steady growth. According to Finnpulp, the pulp mill project planning began in 2012

and the company was founded in May 2013. A feasibility study was completed in February 2014. Finnpulp said that it intends to start an environmental impact assessment in spring 2015, after which the company can apply for an environmental permit. Investment decisions will be made as the project progresses, and proj-ect funding negotiations are ongo-ing with domestic and international investors, Finnpulp added. Finnpulp noted that the planned pulp mill will be carbon neutral and meet all the latest standards of Euro-pean legislation.

The guidance and contributions of our members make AF&PA the pre-mier source for industry data. With over 500 reports — weekly, monthly and annual — across industry sec-tors, the AF&PA statistics program offers members the most timely and accurate data available on the U.S. pulp, paper and paperboard indus-try. In addition, through direct re-porting and relationships with other organizations, members have ac-cess to a number of North American focused reports.

The AF&PA statistics program is set apart from other data publishers in important ways. These include pro-viding the industry with data to sup-port fact-based policy advocacy and member-driven decisions on busi-ness relevant reports. Access to the industry data is a key benefit of membership, and the AF&PA program continues to evolve to ensure reports contain rel-evant industry information that has been approved for publication by legal counsel. These resources help AF&PA paper and packaging mem-bers compete in the marketplace.

The program relies on the input of members to ensure ongoing value. For example, in 2014, AF&PA member committees provided guidance on the redesign of our annual Capacity Survey. The new survey now pro-vides a more comprehensive view of industry capacity and operating rates, and includes fiber consump-tion detail. The Capacity Survey is used by members, analysts and others as the foundation for indus-try analysis. Additional enhancements were recently implemented in the prod-uct sectors to make reports more in-formative and valuable to members. For example, paperboard reports now include shipment data, along with the traditional production and inventory detail; three printing-writing reports have been combined to streamline the data related to im-ports and exports; and an executive summary incorporating key eco-nomic indicators has been added to the suite of containerboard reports. AF&PA members provide the insights, feedback, and detailed data needed to make the AF&PA paper and packaging data a robust industry resource and set the stan-dard for data publication. Some of the offerings are available for sale to non-member stakeholders. For more information about these offerings, contact us at: [email protected].

Mohawk announces a redesigned swatchbook for its Skytone paper grade. The Skytone swatchbook is second in a series of nine, newly redesigned swatchbooks that have been developed to make the paper specification process clearer, easier and more inspirational for design-ers, printers, stationers and paper enthusiasts.

nouncements and photo frames — as well as any project that calls for an old-world, authoritative, official appearance. Skytone’s vellum sur-face and distinctive formation vary naturally throughout each run mak-ing every sheet unique. Mohawk Skytone is FSC-certified, made with 30% postconsumer waste fiber and manufactured with wind power. There is even an extensive line of matching stocked envelopes available in a variety of styles and sizes.

Georgia-Pacific to Receive Multiple Financial Incentives for Upgrades to Muskogee MillAccording to an article in the Muskogee Phoenix (Oklahoma), port authority directors awarded multiple incentives worth up to $500,000 to subsidize improvements planned by Georgia-Pacific during the next three years at its Muskogee mill. G-P plans to upgrade its bath tissue and paper towel manufac-turing operations in Muskogee. Com-pany officials identified $135 million worth of projects — approved and proposed investments — they expect to undertake beginning this year. Some improvements planned for the local mill are intended to help it meet “existing and projected demand” for its product lines. Others will “help im-prove employee safety, environmental performance, reliability, and quality.” The local incentives are being made available through the Muskogee City-County Port Authority’s strategic investment program. Program incen-tives are available to local companies that plan to add qualified jobs or make eligible investments in new equipment or facilities and plant expansions. The performance-based incentive awarded to G-P falls under the latter category, but the contract approved

by port authority directors cites job retention as another anticipated outcome. Eric Miller, director of the port authority’s business and economic development division, described G-P as “a corporate and civic stalwart in Muskogee.”

According to the contract approved by port authority directors, G-P will “make commercially reasonable ef-forts to commence the physical con-struction of improvements ... within 180 days.” It must “proceed to com-pletion ... without interruption of a material duration.” In exchange, the port authority will make payments in an amount equal to 1% of G-P’s capital investments up to $500,000. Incentive payments will be made annually once G-P’s capital expenditures have been certified.

Overseas shipments account for about 70% of global wood chip trade, with pulp mills in Japan and China being the major destinations, reports Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ). This trade is handled by specialty made wood chip carriers predominantly built in Japan and China. Many of the older and smaller vessels are like-ly to be scrapped in the next few years, and with new and larger ships being ordered, the aver-age chip vessel is becoming larger. International trade of wood chips has steadily increased over the past decade and will likely reach a re-cord high of approximately 36 mil-lion tons in 2014, according to WRQ. This has occurred because pulp and wood panel production capacity has increased in regions with a lack of sufficient supply of domestic wood fiber at competitive costs, and be-tween neighboring countries when opportunities exist for pulp mills to cross country borders in search of marginal wood fiber volumes. This type of inter-continental trade flow can be seen between the US and Canada, Russia and Finland, and the Baltic States with the Nordic countries. However, as much as 70% of the global chip trade is overseas with the major consuming countries being

in Asia. This trade, valued at over 4.5 billion dollars, is handled by vessels that are specially built for carrying wood chips. There are currently 145 of these specialty ships circling the globe with a majority of them either sailing towards or en route from ports in Japan or China, WRQ noted. The oldest chip vessels are from the

1980’s, but it is ex-pected that within a few years the world’s entire woodchip fleet will be less than 20 years old, accord-ing to the wood chip

ship-brokering firm Arc Chartering. Looking ahead towards 2017, the chip vessel fleet will not only be younger, but will also contain fewer ships, and the average ship will be bigger than in 2014. Between 10–15 smaller older ships are likely to be scrapped in the next few years, while roughly 5-10 new larger vessels may be built during 2015-17. With a declining number of chip vessels traveling the seas, there are currently fewer spot shipments and a high utili-zation of the existing fleet. Historically, wood chip carriers have been built in Japan for Japanese trading houses and forest companies. However, in recent years Chinese ship-yards have also built large vessels for Chinese customers.

Japanese companies currently own approximately 75% of the world’s chip vessels, while Chinese compa-nies own about 14% of the fleet, while other countries such as South Korea,

Turkey, Thailand and Indonesia account for the remaining 11%, WRQ said. The share of non-Japa-nese owned chip carriers is likely to increase in the coming years.

Sustainability Awards Honor Exemplary ProgramsAF&PA honored five of its member companies for their commitments to sustainability with 2014 AF&PA Sustainability Awards. The awards support AF&PA’s Better Practices, Better Planet 2020 sustainability ini-tiative and are designed to recognize sustainability successes in the paper and wood products manufacturing industry. RockTenn received a Leadership in Sustainability Award for Sus-

tainable Forest Management for its Internal Fiber Supply Chain Cer-tification program. They achieved their sustainability goal to achieve fiber chain-of-custody certification to credible third-party forestry cer-tifications at all their North Ameri-can wholly owned manufacturing facilities by 2020 early, in 2013. The company initiated a dual purpose effort to bring all their non-certified facilities to the same certifications

and to combine all their existing cer-tifications into one enterprise-wide multisite certificate. Evergreen Packaging was also awarded a Leadership in Sustain-ability Award for Sustainable Forest Management for their Certified Suc-cess – Evergreen Forest Certification program. This group certification program meets the standards of the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®), and allows multiple land-owners to be certified under a single group certificate – a cost-effective way for landowners to have their forests certified to internationally recognized standards. In its first year (2013), the program grew to include nearly 60 landowners comprising approximately 40,000 acres in North and South Carolina. Expera Specialty Solutions was recognized with the Leadership in Sustainability Award for Safety for the Care Enough to Act program in their Nicolet Mill located in De Pere, Wisconsin. The Nicolet mill intro-duced initiatives to identify safety hazards, reinforce safe behaviors, and put company-wide best prac-tices into place. This atmosphere of cooperation, accountability, and self-discipline led to all-time high safety improvements. NewPage Corporation (now Verso Corporation) received two Leader-ship in Sustainability Awards. The first was the Leadership in Sustain-ability Award for Paper Recovery for Recycling for the Duluth Mill Re-cycling Recovery Program at their Duluth, Minnesota mill. In this in-novative recycling program, partici-pating entities learn about recycling and receive funding for their organi-

zations, and the mill receives clean, high-quality, recyclable paper. The program has recovered 2,900 tons of paper and contributed $500,000 to over 120 participating groups. The second award was the Lead-ership in Sustainability Award for Water for the Escanaba Mill Water Reduction Initiative. The Escanaba, Michigan mill carried out a compre-hensive program of repairs and op-timization, resulting in measurable water reductions throughout mill area operations. The reduced water use led to reduced costs required for the heating, pumping, and treatment of water and supports ongoing resource conservation efforts at the mill. Domtar received the Leadership in Sustainability Award for Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Re-duction for their Barge Unloading and Conveyor Project. This one-mile-long conveyor belt from the banks of the Ohio River straight into their Hawesville, Kentucky mill enabled Domtar to directly de-liver wood chips to the mill, elimi-nating 54,000 wood chip delivery truck trips and drastically reducing truck traffic and related congestion and pollution. Domtar also was awarded the In-novation in Sustainability Award for their BioChoice Lignin — an ex-ample of our industry’s potential to produce new value streams out of existing resources. Domtar lever-aged their Plymouth, North Carolina mill’s existing infrastructure to start a lignin separation plant — the first of its kind in North America in over 25 years. Modern technology allows lignin to be made into a wide range of sustainable products, including coatings, natural binders, plastics and resins. AF&PA sustainability award applicants are considered in two primary categories. Projects that support the sustainability goals within Better Practices, Better Planet 2020 qualify for recognition in the “Leadership in Sustainability” cat-egory, which has five subcategories that correspond to the goals: Paper Recovery for Recycling, Energy Effi-ciency/Greenhouse Gas Reduction, Sustainable Forest Management, Safety, and Water. The “Innovation in Sustainability” award is reserved for projects that merit recognition for their contribution to sustainable business practices, not one of the goals specifically.
