  5. Preparing for life after the Accord • Consultation process while Waste Minimisation Act regulations being established. • Development of scope and KPI’s for Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme within the Waste Act to meet: • Section 14: Measurable waste minimisation • Section 15: Reduction in environmental harm

  6. Old model Accord does not fit Waste Act • There is confusion on the roles of member companies, sector groups and PAC.NZ in a single scheme.

  7. Recommendation

  8. Rather than a single scheme, split the roles of companies, sectors and coordinating function. Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme • Front End of Packaging life cycle • Design • Procurement • Reduction Material Specific Product Stewardship Schemes • Specific to material types • KPI’s • Recovery • Re-use Umbrella • Coordinating industry, sectors and stakeholders activities and opportunities

  9. Umbrella Plan • Packaging PS scheme • Design and specification • Material specific scheme • Glass • Paper • Plastics • Cans UMBRELLA PLAN SECTOR PAC NZ

  10. PACKAGING PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP SCHEME Limited to direct members of PAC NZ Members commit to: packaging specification and design which meets the scheme’s environmental Code of Practice (being developed) Measurable waste minimisation via reducing post industrial packaging waste to landfill. • SECTOR SCHEME • Limited to direct members of Association • Varies in complexity according to material type and resource requirements • Members commit to: • Measurable waste minimisation e.g. developing markets for recovered materials; post industrial recycling • Produce recycling data • CO-ORDINATION UMBRELLA • Alignment with Best Practice and Trans Tasman Targets and KPI’s • Collates and reports annual recycling data • Raises and assigns funds for agreed programmes which have measurable effect on waste minimisation and deliver an ongoing reduction in environmental harm.

  11. Packaging PS Scheme KPI’s

  12. Design and Procurement % Compliance with new Code of Practice % Compliance with new procurement criteria % “buy recycled” policies % compliance with approved recycling labeling Measurable Waste minimisation Kilogram of packaging consumed per capita Post industrial recycling % increase year on year Energy and Water Use % Companies formal Reduction Plan Other Metrics to be developed Education Build members knowledge

  13. Sector Schemes vary by material

  14. Develop markets for specific materials • Tonnes by packaging type recycled due to scheme funds or projects • Post industrial recycling % increase year on year Research into: • alternative disposals e.g. Waste to energy • Alternative (& higher value) uses for recovered materials Material based Eco requirements e.g. • Forestry Stewardship Council / PEFC certification • Degradable Plastics guidelines • Material specific code of practice Service • Material specific mass balance data

  15. Umbrella Activities

  16. Measurable Waste Minimisation Kilograms by packaging type collected via public place recycling due to scheme Markets developed for composite materials Implement educational and consumer awareness programme $ spend market research data Reduce environmental harm e.g. Report recyclability of packaging in NZ market Report CO2 saving per tonne diverted from waste Service Report packaging recycled as % of consumption

  17. Where to from here Consultation process with all stakeholders Continue Development of scope and KPI’s for Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme Understand and build on the value propositions Continue working with MFE to align and produce a leading edge coordinated Plan 32
