COMPLIANCE EVALUATION
6 Product Specific Requirements
6.1 The paper product shall be manufactured from a pulp and paper making process such that the total of load points assessed for Recycled Content, Solid Waste, Global Warming Potential, Energy Use. Chemical Oxygen Demand, Sublethal Toxicity, Acidification Potential and Effluent Discharge does not exceed 8 (Load Point Determination. Section 8, contains the table for calculating Load Points, and the Method for Load Point Determination for Integrated and Non-integrated Mills, Section 9 — 18, contains the methodology for collecting data). Also, the amount of points per environmental indicator shall not exceed 3.
6.2 The paper product shall be manufactured such that if a whitening process is used:
a) The fiber shall not have been whitened with elemental chlorine; and
b) The effluent directly downstream of the whitening plant shall not contain a measurable concentration of 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD or a measurable concentration of 2, 3 ,7 , 8-TCDF
6.3 The paper product shall be manufactured from agricultural or wood fibers that have been sourced from forestry or agricultural operations that have implemented a sound environmental management system and are adhering to sound environmental management practices for 100% of its activities. At minimum these practices shall contain the following elements:
a) Sustainable harvest rates;
b) The conservation of:
1) Species at risk:
2) Species diversity;
3) Wildlife habitat;
4) Soil;
5) Water and aquatic ecosystems (e.g., wetlands, lake and river ecosystems); and
6) Key landscape and ecosystem-level ecological functions and processes. including corridors where necessary to preserve these ecological components:
C) No use of World Health Organization Type 1A and 1B, chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, pesticides that are toxic, as well as pesticides banned by international agreement;
d) No use of genetically modified seeds; and
e) No new forestry or agricultural operations on natural forest lands or peatlands (i.e., that have not been previously modified for forestry or agricultural purposes except in very limited areas and timeframes when this will lead to long-term conservation benefits):
6.4 The product shall come from a pulp and paper mill that has a water management plan in place which outlines the following:
a) All water input and output quantities measured and not measured: and
b) All known emissions to water measured and not measured.
6.5 The product shall not be manufactured with bisphenol A.
7 Labeling Requirements
7.1 The product shall disclose the following to purchasers and consumers:
a) The forest or agricultural management system used (e.g.. which certification):
b) The percentage of recycled and post-consumer recycled content in the product: and
c) The whitening process used according to this classification or equivalent.
