10. AF&PA Final Sustainability Goals Pillar Previous AF&PA Goal Board-Approved Goals (all Goals have a 2020 target and a 2005 baseline, except safety, which has a 2006 baseline) Paper Recovery for Recycling 60% by 2012. Achieved 63.5% in 2010. Exceed 70%. Energy Efficiency No goal, but members required to provide data and AF&PA reports progress. Exceed 10% increase. Measurement consistent with DOE method that rewards energy self sufficiency. Greenhouse Gases 12% reduction in GHG emissions intensity by 2012 (exceeded in 2006, but regressed in 2008 due to drop in production and change in membership mix). Exceed 15% reduction. Forestry Related Goal 100% of our membership abides by sustainable forest management and procurement standards as a condition of membership. AF&PA members are committed to sustainable forestry both in the US and around the globe. We will increase the amount of fiber procured from certified forest lands or through certified fiber sourcing programs in the United States; and work with governments, industry and other stakeholders to promote policies around the globe to decrease illegal logging. Safety-Recordable Case Rate No goal, but members required to provide data and AF&PA reports progress. “ Aspirational” goal of zero. Report and measure interim target of a 25% reduction in OSHA recordable incidents. Water Use No goal, but members required to provide data and AF&PA reports progress. Commit to collect and analyze data to address consumptive use to determine feasibility of later setting a numeric goal. Fossil Fuel Use, Renewable Energy Use, Water Discharge No goal, but members required to provide data and AF&PA reports progress. Continue reporting progress.
17. Recovered Fiber Statistics 2010 The economics of recovery, fiber yield rates, quality issues, grade utilization efficiency and other factors combine to create this utilization picture. Reducing process energy usage for cleaning can have a considerable impact on economics of recycled paper and also can reduce CO2 emissions. Source: AF&PA
