  1. Market Development Geoff Love

  2. Market Development Backgrounder 3 Part Presentation 1) Review 2003 Blue Box Recovery Rates 2) Present Market Development planned activities for 2005 & impact on fees 3) Invite comment for final input to Stewardship Ontario Board of Directors

  3. Background • Discuss market development activities as per approved Blue Box Program Plan (BBPP) – i.e. 50% Blue Box recovery by 2006 • Recognize that Minister’s request for 60% diversion of Blue Box materials by 2008 will likely require: • additional market development • enhanced recovery efforts (i.e. beyond approved plan)

  4. Summary of 2003 Residential Blue Box Recovery by Material Category

  5. Blue Box Recovery Summary • Approved BBPP target of 50% recovery by 2006 • system needed addition of about 35,000 tonnes/year of curbside recycling from 2002 to 2006 (i.e. a total of 145,000 tonnes) • In 2003, over 53,000 more tonnes were recycled – up from about 33,000 more tonnes in 2002 • Likely reached the 50% target (although all materials have not achieved the material specific goals in the BBPP) • BBPP contains a three part market development program to meet material specific targets: mixed glass, “green” procurement & “other material” plans

  6. Glass Market Development Investment Program Two Glass Funds • REOI (longer term) 2. Glass Business Planning/Feasibility Study: “Glass Diversion Fund” (nearer term)

  7. Glass Market Development Investment Program 1) REOI (longer term) • Up to $2 M (from glass Stewards) for 2004/05 • Initiating meetings with GTA municipalities re: mixed glass tonnes available • Detailed RFP for qualified applicants (fall/winter)

  8. Glass Market Development Investment Program 2) Glass Business Planning/Feasibility Study: “Glass Diversion Fund” (nearer term) • $500K business planning & feasibility study fund to support projects up to $25K (matching funding basis) e.g. local investment opportunities • Funding guidelines now posted on Stewardship Ontario website - first project funding expected in fall 2004 PROGRAM GOAL - stabilize markets, higher value uses, reduce net costs by at least $10/tonne focused on GTA/Golden Horseshoe tonnes

  9. Heard at July Consultation • Five written responses to July 15 workshop materials: 1 steward; 4 material suppliers • Common comments: • Quality control & increased recovery are of higher importance for most materials than market development • Need for regular “state of the market” meeting for all stakeholders • Limited interest in green procurement • Concern regarding Stewardship Ontario’s role on the issue of cooperative marketing • Two targeted materials requiring market development are mixed broken glass & plastics #3 to #7

  10. Stewardship Ontario Green Procurement Plans for 2005 • BBPP commits Stewardship Ontario to a business planning process that examines potential benefits of launching a new green procurement program • Steward reaction to research to date has been neutral at best. • Stewards want to see tangible benefits before making a major investment. • Whatever might be done must be voluntary in nature. • Not seen as a 2005 high priority given other pressures & current overall system performance against 50% target

  11. Green Procurement Recommendation • Focus procurement activities on tangible opportunities (e.g. examine/promote glass-in-aggregate applications developed through the glass fund) • Participate in MOE & /or WDO – led procurement discussions that may result from Minister’s 60% goal • On-going business planning to examine potential benefits & costs

  12. “Other Material” Market Recommendations • No substantial new “Other Material” market development activities recommended until 2005/2008 targets are established by Minister • Initiate planning for film/other plastics REOI in mid 2005 (for 2006 fees) = $100K in 2005 fees • Develop “Enhanced Recovery” program plan in 2005 (for 2006 implementation) based on detailed analysis of 02/03/04 datacall results • Priorize “least cost next tonne”/enhanced recovery projects though E&E Fund in 2005
