3. Proposed Agenda • Roll call & Introductions (Mike Birett) • Minutes/business from last meeting & CIF REOI Update (Mike Birett) • Update/Q&A on CIF-supported plastics–related projects (Geoff Love) • Update/Q&A on CIF/Stewardship Ontario/ NAPCOR thermoform PET project (Mike Schedler) • Round table discussion re: any other plastics recycling developments • Wrap-up & plan for next call

4. CIF’s REOI • Total CIF funding available in 2010 is $24 million • $18.6 mil set aside for priority projects: • Integrated Recycling plans ̶ Curbside containers • Multi- res capacity ̶ Co-op marketing • ESCOs ̶ Public Space recycling • MRF Upgrades ̶ Transfer stations • Automated collection ̶ Polystyrene densification • Communications • REOI closes March 23 • Still “Open for business” re: municipal plastics project work

5. CIF-supported plastics related projects • NAPCOR project • Mike Schedler to provide update today • EFS • Martin Vogt to present details at our next call • Agreement among CIF/SO/EFS close to finalized • EFS continuing to add supply • e.g., recent Hamilton agreement • Short term (Phase 1) focus is adding film capacity • Mid term (Phase 2) focus is mixed rigids • Entropex Project • update from Guy Perry/StewardEdge

6. Making PET Thermoformed Packaging Recycling a Reality Michael Schedler NAPCOR Director of Technology March 2010

7. Presentation Outline NAPCOR & the Thermoformer Industry Market Data Recycling Program Plan & Activities Expectations 7

8. National Association for PET Container Resources Originally Bottle & Resin Producers Led by Pactiv, Placon & Genpak, membership opened to PET sheet / thermoformers in late 2007 NAPCOR membership currently reflects all parts of the PET Packaging industry 8

9. Current NAPCOR Sheet /Thermoformer Members Associated Packaging Technologies Genpak LLC Global PET PWP Industries Pactiv Corporation Par-Pak LTD Peninsula Packaging Company Placon Corporation Sabert Corporation Solo Cup Operating Corp 9

10. Thermoformer Council Objectives To position PET as the environmentally preferred thermoformed package of choice 10

11. Thermoformer Council Objectives Identify & remove the obstacles that prevent PET thermoformed packaging from being recycled Create recycling opportunities for thepackage that complements, not jeopardizes, the existing bottle infrastructure Increase the availability of post consumer RPET 11

12. Definition PET packaging other than bottles &jars, made from PET sheet .008 inch thickness or greater & that has the resin identification code #1 including, but not exclusively, clamshells, cups, trays, boxes & lids. 12

13. Market Data • 1.4 billion lbs of packaging produced in 2008. Does not include imports. • 153+ MMlbs post consumer bottle RPET used in PET sheet production. • Market growing rapidly due to naturalgrowth & conversions from PS & PVC. • BY 2011, could be half the size of PET bottle market. 13

14. The Challenge To re-create the infrastructure that will allow the PET thermoformed package the same recycling opportunities as the bottle in a fashion that is cost effective; acceptable to existing collection & intermediate processing operators; & does not jeopardize existing bottle recycling assets. 14

15. Reality Check For plastic packaging there is NOsustainability without recycling! There is no such thing, environmentally,as a polymer so good it can just bethrown out ! 15

16. Why are PET thermoforms not currently being recycled with bottles? • Look alike contaminants, particularly OPS, PLA as well as PVC • Wide variability in Intrinsic Viscosity • Other potential issues: - Package shapes - Direct printing - Different adhesives - Different additives - Flake geometry 16

17. Program Plan for RecyclingThermoformed Packages Target four streams of PET thermoformedpackaging to develop reclamation capacity& end markets: • Thermoforms manually removed from MRFs with autosort units. • Mixed bottles & thermoforms from MRF with autosorts • Mixed rigid bales • Cups from arenas / stadiums with #1 recyclingprograms 17

18. Technical Support PET Bottle / Thermoformed Package Compatibility Study: • Evaluation of three stream of thermoforms according to APR application protocols for fiber, sheet & bottle • Convey data & observations to PET Reclaimers 18

19. Expectations • That US / Canadian market opportunities will be identified for MRFs producing: • Dedicated thermoform bales from autosorts • Bottle / Thermoform Bales from autosorts • Mixed rigid bales • That end markets will be identified for the outputs from the above 19

20. Working Partners Are Essential • Region of Waterloo • Waste Diversion Ontario • Stewardship Ontario • CPIA • APR 20
