AF&PA Industry-wide 2019 Policy Priorities
• Regulatory and Process Reforms• A more resilient U.S. Paper Recycling System• Transportation Infrastructure and Efficiency Improvements• Free and Fair Trade
![Page 6: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue. American Forest &](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcbbbe77fbe9e376a600849/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Regulatory Reform
• Do more good than harm• Sound Science• Transparency• Streamlined process
![Page 7: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue. American Forest &](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcbbbe77fbe9e376a600849/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Regulatory Reform
• Streamlined process
![Page 8: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue. American Forest &](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcbbbe77fbe9e376a600849/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Carbon Neutrality of Forest-Based Biomass
Biomass used to generate energy should be treated as carbon neutral
– Renewable biomass represents approx. 2/3 of paper industry energy consumption
– Reducing the industry’s and our nation’s reliance on fossil fuels
– Biogenic GHG emissions must be treated differently than fossil-derived GHG

Recycling
• U.S. 2018 recovery rate: 68.1 percent• China National Sword- Market disruption• U.S. EPA- “America Recycles Day”• Market-based advocacy

Transportation
• Truck weights• Rail
– Reverse Surface Transportation Board forest products exemption

Trade
• Free and Fair Trade
• USMCA
• Tariffs

Tissue Sector Policy Issues
• Recycled fiber• Chemical regulation• Flushability• False claims• Sustainability
![Page 14: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue. American Forest &](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcbbbe77fbe9e376a600849/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recycled Fiber
• Critical input for tissue manufacturers– 2018 Tissue sector consumption of
recovered paper: 4.4 million tons
• MIT research– Dynamic Fiber Flows Model
![Page 15: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue. American Forest &](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcbbbe77fbe9e376a600849/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chemical Regulations
Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS)• Short-Chain PFAS Approved by FDA Provide Important Protective
Properties for Food Packaging
• Legislation Must:– Distinguish Between Short- and Long-Chain PFAS– Exempt FDA-approved PFAS– Exempt PFAS Not Intentionally-Added (Recovered Fiber)

Flushability/Compostability
• Product standards
• State/local governments
![Page 17: Trends, Trade and Tariffs · Trends, Trade and Tariffs: Policy Impacts on Tissue. Presented by: Mark Pitts. Executive Director, Printing-Writing, Pulp & Tissue.

False Claims
• Anti-paper marketing claims by competitors
• ENGO tissue campaign• Paper Towel promotion program
