17. 2013 Objectives • Create and utilize survey template to acquire data regarding public engagement when introducing new materials to a recycling program and tools used to measure success • Continuously seek opportunities to collaborate with municipalities • Understand how producers communicate packaging sustainability to consumers

18. Collect information on consumer attitudes & behaviors FYE 2013 FYE 2014 • Timelines Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Identify knowledge gaps about consumer behaviors that might require further investigation Create and utilize survey template to acquire data regarding public engagement Seek opportunities to collaborate with municipalities Organized collected consumer insights and generate key observations Generate case study report based on key observations Support other PAC NEXT committees and consumer engagement/education programs

19. Co-Chairs: • Carol Zweep, GFTC • Ena Popic, Loblaw Brands Ltd. Sustainable Innovation Center of Excellence

20. Sustainable Innovation

21. 2013 Objectives • Publish decision trees based on the current Canadian recycling infrastructure • Develop decision trees as it applies to other end-of-life scenarios e.g. Composting, energy recovery, etc. • Applying the decision trees to the U.S. • Monitor upcoming packaging/processing technologies; Develop panel of experts to keep information updated

22. Apply the decision trees to the U.S. Publish decision tree/flow chart Test decision tree/flow chart on materials outside of the pilot Review with subject matter experts Establish draft decision tree/flow chart Develop other end-of-life scenarios e.g. Composting, energy recovery, etc • Timelines 2013 2014 Phase I Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Phase II Establish resource database Panel of experts to monitor upcoming packaging/processing technologies
