3rd White House Copier Paper Summit Welcoming Remarks Fran McPoland The Federal Environmental Executive Welcome to our third White House Summit on Copier Paper. We have prepared today a great lineup of presentations, all of them designed to help our compliance efforts with the Executive Order 12873 as it pertains to the purchase of copier paper containing 20% post consumer recycled content.
Today's agenda should provide you a comprehensive update of the Federal government's accomplishments since our last summit which was held on May of this year. It will also give us another opportunity to reaffirm what steps we must continue taking to increase our compliance levels.
I hope that the information presented will motivate you not only to further improve your compliance numbers, but also enlighten you as to the best and most effective way to carry out the initiatives to be addressed today in your respective agencies.
The summit was jointly developed with our office and a special Task Force consisting of representatives from the Federal government, the private sector, and environmental organizations. I would like to thank them collectively for their continued support since we started these summits about a year ago.
The goal of the first summit was to dispel many incorrect myths surrounding recycled copier papers, and to delve into the realities of copier paper performance, price and availability.
During the second summit, we made public for the first time, the copier paper purchasing figures for each federal agency and informed you on the latest efforts toward achieving full compliance. Today you will be updated as to the status of the initiatives declared during our second summit and the improvement made in purchasing recycled copier from both the Government Printing Office and the General Services Administration during fiscal year 1997. You will also hear from key organizations about the efforts being developed to continue achieving success in this arena. Please look at the agenda.
We have gathered representatives from government and industry here today to continue our efforts to help accelerate the change from using papers made from virgin fibers to papers made with recovered fibers. We hope that you will leave here today with the necessary tools to lead your agency to full compliance with the Executive Order. You are empowered to change the paper purchasing paradigm.
Each of you can be an instrument of change or an unyielding bridge to past ways of doing business. Your willingness to undertake these necessary changes is key to making compliance with Executive Order 12873 a success.
Our keynote speaker for this occasion is Ms. Darby Hoover Executive Director Recycled Paper Coalition.
Ms. Darby started working as the Recycled Paper Coalition's Executive Director in March 1997, following more than a decade of experience in waste diversion activities, including hauling recyclables at the Stanford University Recycling Center, receiving certification as a Master Composter, teaching a course at the University of California at Berkeley on "The Joy of Garbage," and managing the recycling and composting services at an annual music festival drawing several thousand participants.
Prior to joining the Recycled Paper Coalition, Darby was a research assistant with Citizens Trust, a socially-responsible mutual fund. She has also worked as a college administrator, taught courses in women's self-defense, and served as Manager of the Appropriate Technology Project, a nonprofit organization in Palo Alto, California.

The Economics of Recycled Copy Paper Summit White House Conference Center December 9, 1997 Mary Cesar Jaakko Pyry Consulting Main Points:
Recycling is not just collection or re-use. Without viable markets, there is no recycling.
Recycled Copy Paper (RCP) demand is growing faster than wood and represents about 40% of the fibre needed to produce paper and paperboard products world-wide.
RCP is a global commodity; almost 20 million tons (of the 140 million tons consumed) cross international borders. The main trade flows are within Europe, within North America (USA to Canada and Mexico) and to Asia (from USA and Europe).
The USA is (by far) the largest single producer and consumer of RCP in the world. We do not export "what we don't want," but rather are considered a major and necessary supplier of RCP within the Americas and to Asia.
The importance of RCP in a given region depends on other available resources (e.g. wood and nonwood fibers) as well as the composition of the local industry.
Progress in RCP collection is usually measured in terms of recovery rates. These figures are general indicators, but should not be used to compare recovery by grade. Low recovery of a specific grade does not necessarily translate to poor performance since there are an infinite combination of ways paper can be recovered.
Overall recovery rates vary greatly from country to country. The USA's rate of about 44% is respectable, but certainly not the highest.
Using Japan as an example, the "natural" recovery rate appears to be slightly higher than 50%. Japan is unique since they neither import nor export large quantities of RCP, and are not burdened with excessive legislation.
In the USA, increasing the overall recovery rate will mean collecting more mixed paper- a grade for which there is only limited demand.
Increases in collection will have to be economically acceptable. When looking at the life cycle of RCP (from the point of discard to the end-user mill), there are several places where value can be added. The key is to add the necessary value at the lowest possible cost to the end-user. That means before the paper arrives at the depot, or source-separation. If the mill had to pay workers to sort paper from the garbage, the cost to the end-user mill would be prohibitive.
Using office wastepaper as an example, there are three ways of collecting the paper. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Passive recycling is attractive to the office worker since they don't have to do anything, but it produces the dirtiest paper. Paper collected this way must usually be sorted at a depot, at a relatively high cost.
An "anything that tears" program targets any kind of paper, but requires it to be separated from the garbage. This method yields paper slightly cleaner than a passive recycling program, but it is still commingled, and requires sorting.
Source separation programs rely on the goodwill of the office worker to separate high quality paper from the rest of the waste. Slightly less paper is recovered, but it can often be used at a mill with little or no additional sorting.
Approximately 17% of office waste is non-paper trash. So (theoretically) an "anything that tears" program would target 83% of the office waste stream.
A source separated program would target (at least) the white and colored ledgers, which represent 50% of the office waste stream.
Markets are the most important drivers of collection, and there are plenty of choices of recycled content papers available today.
The number of brands of recycled copy paper has declined since last year. The number of brands is not necessarily related to the tons of paper available. We presume that some of the smaller, less competitive producers have dropped out of the market in the last year.
For some, fewer producers begs the question "Is there any market for recycled paper?" We believe the answer is yes, customers are not willing to compromise quality or price to get recycled content.
We surveyed many different end-users, and found their perceptions were often different from reality. For the most part, end-users perceive recycled papers to be difficult to obtain, be of lower quality, and to cost more. However, when given a choice between recycled paper and virgin paper (all else being equal), most would buy recycled paper for the goodwill it generates.
The value of RCP is the key driver of future recovery and utilization. The health of the world's economies will impact international trade, especially between the USA and Asia. Legislation and regulations will impact utilization since they are likely to have a profound effect on how paper is recovered, and the cost of recovery. Demand also drives recovery, and technological developments will impact the types of paper that can be used by mills, and are also likely to influence how paper is collected.
Summary:
RCP is a global commodity, but the USA is the single largest supplier and single largest market.
The future is not likely to be like the past as users in other regions use more RCP.
There is a limit to recycling, but we are not there yet.
Getting there will require closing the loop through a healthy market for recycled content paper products and collecting paper that can be economically recycled.

Update on Federal Agencies 20% pc Paper Compliance Fran McPoland Federal Environmental Executive
Main Points:
Our Second Copier Paper summit was held last spring. This summit was very successful in discussing strategies to increase federal procurement of paper with 20% post consumer content. The highlight of this summit was the public release of federal agencies compliance numbers for FY 1996 and the first five months of fiscal 1997.
In this summit we announced that Department of Defense, Justice, Energy, the Postal Service, Veterans Administration and Labor formally requested GSA to substitute their copier paper orders by recycled content. We also discussed the need to concentrate on the agencies with the largest paper purchases, that is the "Big Ten." It was also recommended that I draft a memo for agency review/comments requesting GSA and GPO to stop supplying virgin paper
Since then, GPO has extended their 5 cent price reduction for 15 consecutive months.
We received comments from only a few agencies, in general not endorsing the request to stop selling virgin paper because of possible conflict with the new paper substitution policy.
I also met with those "Big Ten" agencies that didn't sign the GSA petition for paper substitution with very positive results.
A total of six of the "Big ten" agencies have joined the list requesting GSA for automatic substitution of virgin paper by recycled content. These agencies are: Defense, Justice, Veterans Administration, Transportation, Interior and the State Department. Social Security administration, Agriculture Treasury and Commerce have not joined the list as of today but we will continue to work on making this happen.
In fiscal year 1997 combined overall sales of copier paper from GSA and GPO when up 3.6% from FY 1996, a total of 20.1 billion sheets. Seventy eight percent (78%) of the agencies being monitored improved their compliance levels, some by a few percent, others by more than 50%. Ninety percent (90%) of the "Big Ten" buyers improved their compliance levels.
GPO compliance levels (indicative of agency HQ's compliance) when up to 73%. GSA gained a remarkable 21% points to a total of 35% in FY 1997.
The overall compliance, when combining GSA and GPO numbers, almost double in fiscal year 1997 as compared to FY 96. It went from 20% in FY 1996 to 39% in FY 1997.
There was a significant increase in the last two quarters of fiscal year 1997 as a result of DOD paper substitution policy being "turned on".
DOD continues to be the major paper buyer. In FY 1996 they purchased 55.6% of all the copier paper procured by the government from GSA and GPO. DOD was also the only agency in FY 1997 that had their paper policy 7quot;switched on" by GSA. Their compliance rates went from 14% in FY 1996 to 33% in FY 1997. In the fourth quarter of FY 1997 alone, compliance was up to 51%.
Some of the "winners" in FY 97 are: Department of Education, the Executive Office of the President, Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They all maintained their strong compliance levels in FY 97 ( 100%, 99%, 95% and 93% respectively). We have new agencies in FY 97 with remarkable compliance improvement: Railroad Board, Fed. Energy Reg. Commission and the Securities & Exchange Commission.
The most improved agencies in FY 97 are:
Railroad Administration Board -up 86%
Nuclear Regulatory Commission -up 83%
Security & Exchange Commission up 81%
US Information Agency -up 72%
Fed Energy Regulatory Commission -up 65%
and the Social Security Adm. -up 53%
The "losers" in FY 1997 were:
Federal Communications Commission -0%
Government Accounting Office -2%
Defense Printing Service -From 35% compliance in 1996 to 2% compliance in FY 97
Federal Labor Relations Authority -4%
and the Smithsonian Institution -at 7%
The "Big Ten Compliance" levels: Department of State leads the pack with 58% compliance followed by SSA, Commerce and DOT with 55%,52% and 50% compliance respectively. DOD, Agriculture and Treasury are at the low end of the compliance range with 33%, 31% and 23% respectively.
We still have a lot of work to do since 27 of the 55 agencies being monitored are below 50% compliance. We also have noticed that the process to turn these requests "on" have been long and tedious. Only one agency, DOD, who made their request April 97 have been "turned on."
Here is what we continue to believe is our compliance strategy:
1. Continue emphasis on the "Big Ten" compliance by continuous monitoring of their performance.
2. Finalize paper substitution requests for all "Big Ten" and encourage other agencies to follow.
3. Expedite substitution policy through better definition of GSA-Agency roles & responsibilities.
4. Stop virgin paper purchases at Agency level.
What will happen if the existing requests go full compliance? Compliance could jump from 39% to 87%. DOD could take the federal government to 76% compliance. DOJ, VA, DOT, Interior, State could "push" compliance another eleven percent points higher.
What will happen when all the "Big Ten" sign their policies? Compliance could be increased another five percent points to 92%!
In conclusion, still have a long way to go, but there have been noticeable improvement. This is indicative that efforts are "paying off". We will continue working with the "Big Ten" to finalize new petitions. All agencies need to increase their compliance monitoring in order to continue gaining more terrain.
