AF&PA Priorities for the 114th Congress

International Trade Opportunities

The 114th Congress is in full swing. Republicans now control both chambers of Congress for the first time in eight years. With Rep. John Boehner of Ohio’s 8th District as speaker of the House and Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as Senate majority leader, the Congress has embarked on an aggressive agenda for 2015 aimed at highlighting the contrasts between the GOP and President Obama. Priorities include challenging several of the presi-dent’s signature policies on health care, energy, banking, and the environment. However, issues for potential bipartisan action this year could also include trade and infrastructure, such as highway re-authorization.

AF&PA Congressional Priorities AF&PA is working to educate mem-

bers of Congress about our indus-try’s economic impact and our com-mitment to sustainability. Every issue the industry faces has an effect on its 900,000 workers — whether dealing with marketplace challenges

or stifling government regulations. By working with our member com-panies and industry allies, AF&PA has identified several priority is-sues for 2015 including regulatory reform, greenhouse gas regulations, air regulations, transportation poli-cies, promoting access to paper op-tions, and trade and tax policies.

Regulatory ReformAF&PA believes that Congress should unleash the power of the U.S. economy by passing legislation to reduce the investment-stifling regu-latory burden. Congress should con-sider initiatives to ensure that federalrulemakings are based on sound sci-ence, use of the best available scien-tific and technical information, long term certainty, transparency, eco-nomic considerations, and flexible approaches.

AF&PA is advocating for biparti-san solutions to address the most

pressing problems facing paper and packaging manufacturers who must

compete in a global marketplace and need regulatory certainty to

make new investments.

The improving economic condi-tion in the U.S., in contrast to the negative or slow growth in other major world economies, resulted

in an increase in 2014 U.S. imports. Paper, paperboard and converted products imports rose 4.3 percent,

to 12.4 million metric tons.

The global economy expanded at a moderate but an uneven pace dur-ing 2014. Among the developed economies, the U.S. experienced an annual growth rate of 2.4 percent in 2014, with declining unemploy-ment, while the economic situation in Europe has been precarious, with a number of eurozone countries on the brink of recession. Growth rates in developing countries and econo-mies in transition diverged more during 2014, as a sharp decelera-tion occurred in many large emerg-ing economies, particularly in Latin America. In contrast, East Asia, in-cluding China, experienced only a mild economic slowdown. Global growth is projected at 3.5 percent for 2015, according to an International

Monetary Fund report issued earlier this year. Lower oil prices and the depreciation of the euro and yen —

the flip side of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar — support growth, but structural issues persist in other economies. The U.S. represents a bright spot among major economic players.

U.S. Imports and Exports in 2014 U.S. exports of paper, paperboard and converted products amounted to an estimated 14.3 million met-ric tons in 2014, unchanged from the previous year, according to U.S. Bureau of Census data. Exports of newsprint, printing-writing paper and bleached paperboard were low-er, but exports of kraft linerboard rose. On a regional basis, exports of paper and paperboard were up

Greenhouse Gas RegulationsThe EPA’s proposed greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation of existing electric utilities under the Clean Air Act im-pacts all users of electricity. AF&PA believes that GHG regulations shouldrecognize biomass energy as carbon neutral, be affordable and ensure electricity reliability. These policies should also recognize the industry’s actions to reduce GHGs, includ-ing sustainable forest management and procurement practices, carbon sequestration, and paper recycling.

Air RegulationsThe industry continues to face chal-lenges from new and existing regu-lations — driven by lawsuits under the Clean Air Act — that together could impose more than $10 billion in new capital obligations on the industry over the next 10 years.

The cumulative air burden being imposed on manufacturing indus-tries is unsustainable. AF&PA will continue to work with Congress and the administration to ensure that regulations don’t set up an either/orscenario for jobs and the environ-ment.

TransportationThe paper and packaging manu-facturing sector faces challenges in transporting raw materials to our mills and finished products to the marketplace — it is costly and dif-ficult. AF&PA supports policies that provide more cost-effective, safe and efficient options for utilizing all modes of transportation. We supportan increase in truck weights on the federal interstate from 80,000 to 97,000 pounds with the ad-dition of a sixth axle for safety. The change would decrease con-gestion, emissions, and energy consumption, and increase ef-ficiency and our global competi-tiveness. The current fundingfor our nation’s highways and in-frastructure expires in May 2015. AF&PA is working to change the cur-rent law during the upcoming High-way Bill Reauthorization.

Promoting Access to Paper Options AF&PA believes people should be able to choose the manner in which they receive information and ser-vices from the federal government. Paper and digital formats can be complementary; those who wish to receive paper-based communica-tions and documentation should have that choice and not be forced to digital delivery or forgo the infor-mation or service.

AF&PA is working with congres-

sional allies to ensure that the fed-eral government considers the ben-efits of providing paper-based ser-vices and information — and not just the so-called “savings” — when modifying government practices and policies that can result in the elimination of paper-based services.

TradeIn an increasingly globalized mar-ket, it is critical for the U.S. paper and wood products manufactur-ing industry to achieve unrestricted access to international markets and level the playing field among inter-national competitors by eliminating both tariff and non-tariff barriers. To help achieve this, AF&PA will prioritize congressional passage of Trade Promotion Authority legisla-tion to pave the way for increased export opportunities for our mem-bers and their customers, many of whom use paper-based packaging in their exports.

TaxReform of the corporate tax code is discussed widely in Congress. AF&PA supports reforming the tax code and believes the overall goals of any reform should be to improve economic growth, job opportunities,and the competitiveness of U.S.-based businesses. To achieve these goals, maintaining a robust U.S. paper and wood products manufac-turing sector is essential. As a result, special attention should be paid to ensure that the overall impact of federal tax reform does not result in counter-productive tax increases harmful to economic growth and job creation in the manufacturing sector.

ConclusionPresident Obama is likely to focus on legacy issues during the last two years of his term. He has shown that he is prepared to act unilater-ally through Executive Orders, if necessary. On the other hand, the Republican Congress is prepared to demonstrate to the American public why they should control the White House in 2016. There is much po-tential for polarization over major issues facing the country. However, there are some opportunities for compromise, should the President and Congress seize them. In this political environment, AF&PA is advocating for biparti-san solutions to address the most pressing problems facing paper and packaging manufacturers who must compete in a global marketplace and need regulatory certainty to make new investments.

somewhat to Western Europe, Can-ada, Mexico and China, while the totals were pulled down by lower exports to South America and the Far East (excluding China). U.S. wood pulp exports were off 3.1 percent, to 7.2 million metric tons, after rising in the previous year-over-year period. Exports were down to most major markets, in-cluding Western Europe and China. U.S. wood pulp exports to China were negatively impacted by that country’s April 4, 2014 imposition of final antidumping duties against dissolving pulp originating in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. Wood pulp exports to Japan and the Far East rose last year. The improving economic condi-tion in the U.S., in contrast to the negative or slow growth in other ma-jor world economies, resulted in an increase in 2014 U.S. imports. Paper, paperboard and converted products imports rose 4.3 percent, to 12.4 mil-lion metric tons. Imports from Can-ada, China and the Far East rose last year, but imports from Europe were off. The largest increase came in im-ports of uncoated free sheet paper. On January 21, 2015, several U.S. producers and the United Steel-workers union filed antidumping petitions against imports of certain types of uncoated paper in sheets (both cut-size and folio sheets) from China, Indonesia, Brazil, Portugal and Australia, as well as countervail-ing duty petitions against subsidized imports from China and Indonesia. The investigation will take 12 to 14 months to conclude.

Trade NegotiationsThis year, the business community and the White House are united in advocating for the congressional passage of Trade Promotion Au-thority (TPA) legislation. TPA, or “fast track”, defines U.S. negotiating objectives and priorities for trade

Both Fedkenheuer and Skahan bring to Monadnock over twenty years of paper industry experience. Before joining Monadnock, Fedken-heuer was responsible for the pub-lishing, catalog and direct mail mar-kets at FutureMark Paper Group.

agreements and requires Congress to give a trade agreement negoti-ated by the President an up or down vote, without amendment. At a time when global growth is slowing, U.S. manufacturers and their employees would benefit from the advantages trade agreements provide to com-pete successfully abroad. Without TPA, they risk being locked out and left behind as other countries ne-gotiate dozens of trade agreements that do not include the U.S. One such trade agreement, being negotiated by the U.S. and a group of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, is called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). U.S. paper and paperboard exports could benefit from the elimination of tariffs in Malaysia and Vietnam, in particular. The agreement also seeks to elimi-nate non-tariff barriers to trade in goods, services, and agriculture, and to establish rules on a wide range of issues including foreign direct investment, state owned enterprises, intellectual property rights as well as enforceable provisions on labor and environment. On a somewhat slower track is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiation with the European Union. While tariffs on pulp and paper already have been eliminated on both sides of the Atlantic, trade between these two huge markets could benefit from the reduction or elimination of non-tariff barriers and by improv-ing the compatibility of regulations and standards across the board, in the food contact packaging area, for example. Moreover, U.S. producers of paper and paperboard packaging materials will benefit from indirect exports, namely demand generated by domestic customers whose prod-ucts gain greater access to the Euro-pean market.

Increasing Sustainable Manufacturing through Improvements in Energy and Water Use

Sustainable manufacturing has eco-nomic as well as environmental ben-efits for the industry. AF&PA’s BetterPractices, Better Planet 2020 sustain-ability initiative contains goals to in-crease energy efficiency and reduce water use in pulp and paper mills by 2020. Progress toward these goals positively influences the manufactur-ing process, enabling AF&PA mem-bers to produce more, while usingfewer resources, which leads to less environmental and energy impact.

Increase Energy EfficiencyEnergy constitutes the third larg-est expense category for the paper and wood products manufacturing industry (after the cost of materials, such as fiber, and employee com-pensation, respectively). Improving energy efficiency lets AF&PA mem-bers maximize output while carefully managing natural resources for fu-ture use. It also allows them to keep costs down and save resources, en-abling increased investments in their manufacturing operations and com-munities.

Members are aiming to improve their purchased energy efficiency by at least 10 percent by 2020 and have improved their purchased energy ef-ficiency by 8.8 percent so far due to investments in comprehensive en-ergy efficiency assessment programs and cost-effective energy efficiency projects. They self-generate most of

their energy needs and most of that is renewable energy. On average, about 66 percent of the energy used at AF&PA member pulp and paper mills is generated from carbon-neu-tral biomass.

Reduce Water UseWater is used in every process stage of the papermaking process. The pulp mixture that is used to make paper starts off as 1 percent fiber and 99 percent water, and water is also used for cooling, equipment cleaning and in the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation pro-cess to produce steam.

Technology and innovation en-able water to be reused and recycled ten times throughout the paper mill. AF&PA members are aiming to fur-ther reduce water use in their pulp and paper mills by 12 percent by 2020. Member mills have reduced their water use by 6 percent and continue to seek ways to further re-duce water use, increase water re-use and recycling, and disseminate information about the role of water in the industry.

To learn more about the indus-try’s progress on the Better Practic-es, Better Planet 2020 sustainability goals and sustainable manufactur-ing processes, read AF&PA’s 2014 Sustainability Report available in the Paper2015 Connections Lounge or at afandpa.org/sustainability.

Crown Paper Group Acquires Port Townsend Holdings CompanyCrown Paper Group, Inc. in Feb-ruary announced that it acquired Port Townsend Holdings Company, which includes the Port Townsend Paper mill in Port Townsend, Wash-ington; the Crown Packaging plant in Vancouver, BC; the Boxmaster packaging plant, also in Vancouver; and Distribution Centers in Kelow-na, BC, and Calgary, AB. Crown Paper Group is a holding company created in 2015 for invest-ments in the paper and packaging industries. The executive leaders of Crown Paper Group have worked together in the paper and packag-ing industry for a century and a half (collectively) building high perfor-mance businesses. Roger Hagan, who served as Presi-dent of Port Townsend Paper Corp. from May of 2013 until his recent re-tirement this past February, told the local press that the acquisition will not immediately change operations at the facility, which employs about 300 people. “This is very positive for the mill because the people who are buying us know our business and how they can make it more profitable,” Hagan said. “My mandate when I came here was to get the mill in a salable posi-tion. I was involved in many things to get it operating in a positive, good

Demand for Corrugated and Paperboard Boxes Expected to Exceed $39 Billion in 2018

Demand for corrugated and paper-board boxes is projected to exceed

covery in the manufacturing sector coupled with their position as the shipping container of choice for a broad array of durable and non-durable goods. Volume advances will reflect expanded use of lighter weight, high performance paper-board grades that can provide com-pression strength similar to that of corrugated boxes made from tradi-tional heavier weight paperboard. Folding carton demand will im-prove from the performance of the

2008-2013 period and will be sup-ported by a rebound in nondurable goods output and expanded op-portunities in carryout food ap-plications. However, advances will be restrained by competition from other packaging formats — partic-ularly flexible packaging. Set-up boxes will remain a specialty niche in the box indus-try, with imports comprising an increasing share of demand. None-theless, prospects will be helped by an improved outlook for dis-cretionary spending and boxes’ entrenched position as upscale packaging for fragrances, premium confectionery products, and gift sets.

Food & Beverage Market to Remain DominantFood and beverages represent the largest single market for corrugated and paperboard boxes, accounting for 50 percent of total demand in 2013. Segments that are expected to post above average gains in-clude produce; meat, poultry, and seafood; dairy; and beverage, with sugar and confectionery, baked goods, and grain mill product uses expected to grow more slowly. Despite sustainability efforts aimed at reducing excess packaging by eliminating boxes and cartons or reducing the amount of paper-board utilized in food and beverage cartons, ongoing opportunities in the vast food and beverage market will be based on a combination of relatively low cost, protective per-formance, and a well-developed infrastructure for recycling.

Nonmanufacturing Market to Grow the FastestThe durable goods market will post a rebound through 2018, sup-ported by heightened output fol-lowing low levels of recent years. Moreover, a rebound in construc-tion activity will drive demand for household appliances, furniture and other durable goods, as well as related boxes. The nonmanufacturing market will be the fastest rising box market through 2018 and beyond, propelled by the continuing popu-larity of online shopping and great-er use of carryout food boxes in the foodservice industry in light of growing restrictions on foam carry-out containers.

Gains will be driven by a rebound and reshoring of manufacturing activity, and heightened demand for boxes that feature high quality graphics or are constructed in display-ready form.

$39 billion in 2018, according to a new study Corrugated & Paperboard Boxes conducted by The Feedonia Group. Gains will improve from the performance of the 2008-2013 pe-riod as manufacturing output con-tinues to recover from low levels following the 2007-2009 recession. A rebound in the production of non-durable goods such as food, bever-ages, cosmetics and toiletries, phar-maceuticals, and cleaning products will fuel heightened requirements for related shipping and other boxes. Other factors supporting increases will include accelerated output of durable goods, improved consumer spending growth, a rebound in con-struction spending, and further rap-id growth for online shopping. Value increases will also be helped by the growing presence of value added box types, such as display-ready boxes and boxes with high quality graphics

In a presentation during a Decem-ber paper industry conference in Vienna, Austria, Ilim Group’s CEO, Franz J. Marx, delivered a keynote presentation that outlined Ilim’s vi-sion of the industry development outlook, spoke about the compa-ny’s development strategy and the government support the pulp and paper industry needs.

According to Marx, worldwide de-mand for paper and board is expect-ed to grow up to 7% or 27 million tons by 2020, while the emerging countries, including China, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Russia which has already secured a strong position in the target growing mar-kets, will set the pace.

Notwithstanding the difficult economic situation in Russia, Ilim Group sees opportunities for further development of the Russian pulp and paper industry and expects that the annual growth of consumption and demand will gradually achieve 1.5%.

Marx noted that Ilim Group has completed implementation of a large-scale investment program and is now starting to put in place its sustainable development strategy.

Marx also spoke about the current status of Ilim’s investment projects. “The current capacity of the new fi-berline in Bratsk is 85% of CIP, while the mill managed to reach the over-all target production capacity al-ready in October owing to the deci-sion to retain the KLB line. It was a well-calculated decision to continue the production of kraftliner, which is in high demand in the market.

“We also proceed with implemen-tation of a number of small projects for further debottlenecking and consider opportunities for further increase of production output,” Marx said.

Marx also pointed out that Ilim still faces key issues and challenges of the pulp and paper industry, in-cluding inadequate development of transportation infrastructure, terms for extension of long-term timber-land lease for bona fide lessees, and the increase of transportation cost exceeding the inflation rate.

He also noted that government support efforts which might facili-tate competitive development of Russia’s pulp and paper industry in the long run should be aimed at improving availability of long-term

financing, reducing tax burden as-sociated with investment project implementation, providing sup-port for infrastructure development, via public-private partnerships,

putting in place intensive for-est management practices and providing support for pulp and paper R&D activities.

The Responsible Package released its latest set of youth education ma-terials, created in partnership with Kaleidoscope, in early 2015. The materials will reach 200,000 fifth grade students in approximately 2,000 schools. The materials include a teacher’s guide with science lessons and ac-tivities that support both the Sci-ence, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) education initiative and the new Next Generation Sci-ence Standards (NGSS). By structur-ing the lessons to align with these standards, the materials provide a valuable program that teachers can use to supplement their existing curriculum around topics such as recycling, science, the environment, and math.

A new addition to the program is take-home information to educate families about paper-based packag-ing sustainability and to commit to recycling more at home. Reception of The Responsible Package’s youth education materi-als was extremely positive in previ-ous years. After the 2014 program, 100 percent of participating teach-ers reported that they liked the pro-

gram. Additionally, 100 percent of the teachers said that they would participate again in the program. The Responsible Package initiative is an effort to promote the versatile and sustainable packaging solutions provided by paper-based packag-ing. Sponsoring organizations in-clude the American Forest & Paper Association, AICC – Association of Independent Corrugated Convert-ers, the Corrugated Packaging Alli-ance, the Fibre Box Association, the Paperboard Packaging Alliance, the Paperboard Packaging Council, the Paper Shipping Sack Manufactur-ers’ Association and the Renewable Bag Council.

The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) said that it applauds Canada’s federal government for pursuing trade action against China at the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding duties on Canadi-an dissolving pulp. China had imposed anti-dumping duties of up to 23.7% on Canadian dissolving pulp in 2013 saying the imports were negatively impacting China’s domestic pulp market. The Chinese duties have resulted in sig-nificant loss of market for Canadian dissolving pulp producers including FPAC members and put a chill on future investment. “It is unfortunate that Canada has been forced to take this step but cer-tainly the Chinese trade action was not in accordance with WTO rules on anti-dumping,” said David Lind-say, President and CEO of FPAC. “The discriminatory duties on Ca-nadian dissolving pulp have hurt Canadian exports and resulted in a number of investments being can-celled for new production facilities. This impacted jobs and economic opportunity.” Forest products are Canada’s larg-est export to China at $4.8 billion,

MeadWestvaco said that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its European-based tobacco fold-ing carton business to AR Packag-ing Group AB, a maker of paper-board cartons, flexible packaging, and trays based in Lund, Sweden. The business has annual revenue of approximately $190 million (EUR 146 million), which is included in MWV’s Food & Beverage segment. Terms of the deal were not dis-closed, and the transaction is ex-pected to be completed in the next several months. “MWV has long been — and re-mains — committed to our custom-ers in the global tobacco market,” said Joe McNamara, president of MWV’s Tobacco business. “This transaction gives us the opportunity to further focus our participation on our leadership position in high-quality paperboard for tobacco and other premium packaging markets around the world.”

and China remains a critical future market. However exports of dissolv-ing pulp to China dropped 20% last year to $255 million. “Certainly the forest products in-dustry wants to maintain positive relations with China and build on our existing trading relationship,” said Lindsay. “However it is essen-tial that we all act in accordance with international trade rules and regulations.” FPAC backs liberalized trade in all forest products to support the Vi-sion2020 objective of generating an additional $20 billion in economic activity from new products and new markets by the end of the decade. FPAC provides a voice for Cana-da’s wood, pulp, and paper produc-ers nationally and internationally in government, trade, and environ-mental affairs.

LEIPA Group announced that it is considering a substantial expansion of its containerboard production ca-pacity after conducting a successful preliminary assessment. The com-pany’s current mill site in Schwedt, Germany (also its headquarters) was studied for the project. LEIPA said the start of operations “is planned for as early as the 2016 financial year.” “Investing in a further contain-erboard machine is one of the pos-sible options for further expanding the market position we already have in the field of packaging paper,” said Peter Probst, managing direc-tor LEIPA Holding. “LEIPA has been extremely successful with the global marketing strategy for its products, meaning we now have the necessary foundations to invest in additional production capacities.” The expansion project would in-clude a new paper machine to pro-

LEIPA noted that the new machine would complement existing pro-duction opportunities in Schwedt, where 120 - 200 g/m2 of coated and uncoated white top testliners are currently produced. The LEIPA Group currently pro-duces about 900,000 tonnes of graphic paper and packaging paper per year at its Schwedt and Schro-benhausen locations in Germany.
