Asaleo Care Environmental Product Declaration for Toilet Tissue 3

Sustainability – a core part of how we do business Sustainability is built into our Tork, Sorbent and Purex toilet tissue products from the start:

We begin with 100% responsibly-sourced, non-controversial pulp. In particular, we are committed to purchase pulp and paper reels consistent with No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policies adopted by the forestry and palm oil industries. Our pulp is sourced from socially and environmentally sustainable forests in line with Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) standards, helping protect forests for present and future generations. The pulp that enters our Kawerau paper machines is from 100% FSC certified sources, with a maximum of 30% FSC Controlled Wood sources.

We then manufacture paper locally, using a large share of renewable energy. We are proud to manufacture the products in this Environmental Product Declaration in Kawerau, New Zealand. Our Kawerau operation is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS/NZS 4801 and FSC chain of custody. In 2010, we replaced most of our natural gas consumption with geothermal steam in an ongoing partnership with Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets. In addition, our site’s electricity comes from the New Zealand grid, comprising 84% renewable energy in 2018 (MBIE 2018). Consequently, since 2009 we have more than halved the greenhouse gas emissions generated from our Kawerau plant.

We focus on continuous improvement at Kawerau and in the past decade we have reduced water consumption by over 30%, reduced waste to landfill by a third and almost doubled our waste recycling rate.

This EPD helps to demonstrate Asaleo Care’s commitment to sustainability and complements our work with eco-label and sustainability organisations such as FSC, Environmental Choice New Zealand, Sedex and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

Asaleo Care Environmental Product Declaration for Toilet Tissue 7

Life cycle of toilet tissue products

This EPD covers the full life cycle of toilet tissue from cradle-to-grave. The life cycle starts with (1) forestry to grow wood fibre, (2) production of the chemicals needed to make paper from wood fibre, (3) production of packaging materials, and (4) production of energy for these process steps. These are the upstream processes. Wood chips/residues, chemicals and fuels are transported to pulp mills, where wood pulp is made from wood fibre. This pulp is then transported to Asaleo Care’s paper mill where it is formed into paper, cut to size (‘converted’), packaged and then warehoused. These steps also require energy to be produced, and for both solid waste and wastewater to be treated. These are the core processes. Finally, packaged toilet tissue is transported to customers. As the use of a toilet tissue has no direct environmental impacts, use is not included in this EPD. The final step is end-of-life, where the toilet tissue goes to a wastewater treatment facility and the packaging waste is disposed. These are the downstream processes.

Asaleo Care Environmental Product Declaration for Toilet Tissue 8

Key parameters and assumptions for the LCA Functional unit: 1 tonne (1000 kg) of toilet tissue as delivered, plus packaging.

Manufacturing site: All products are manufactured in Kawerau, New Zealand.

Distribution to customer: Distribution from the manufacturing plant to customer via Asaleo Care’s warehouses is based on a sales-weighted average of the distances travelled in each transport mode (truck and container ship).

End of life: 100% of toilet tissue is assumed to go to a municipal wastewater treatment plant. As there are no readily available average wastewater treatment life cycle inventories for Australia or New Zealand, the LCA model is based on Auckland’s plants (Watercare, 2013). The electricity mix and sludge treatment have been adapted to reflect average Australian and New Zealand conditions. This results in electricity use of 1.15 MWh/t dry biosolids in Australia and 1.40 MWh/t in New Zealand. Direct emissions have been calculated based on the average elemental composition of paper from the Phyllis2 database (ECN 2012) – 50.2% C, 42.5% O, 6.9% H, 0.3% N and 0.1% S – as no product-specific data were available. This absolute-dry composition has been adjusted to 10% water content in line with the international definition of air-dry paper. The split of treatment between Australia and New Zealand is determined by annual product sales figures from 2018.

100% of polyethylene film packaging is assumed to go to landfill. While film packaging can be recycled in some locations, this practice is currently limited in Australia and New Zealand. 77% of paper and cardboard packaging is assumed to be recycled, with the remainder landfilled. This is based on the Australian average for 2013-14 (APC 2014). The recycling rate in New Zealand is likely to be similar but is not available due to uncertainties (PCNZ 2015). No credits are applied for recycling paper or cardboard in line with the PCR (IEPDS 2015).

All landfill and recycling assumes truck transport of 50 km outbound with an empty backhaul.

Biogenic carbon emissions from wastewater treatment: Chemical oxygen demand (COD) from toilet tissue is approximated by theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD), calculated following OECD (1992) as 1.315 mg O2 / mg paper. Emissions rates for Australia and New Zealand were calculated as 1,406 kg CO2 and 27 kg CH4 per air-dry tonne of paper for Australia (based primarily on Australian Government 2015) and 1,333 kg CO2 and 39 kg CH4 for New Zealand (following New Zealand Government 2015).

Data for core processes: Primary (specific) data were collected from Asaleo Care and our pulp suppliers as per the PCR (IEPDS 2015). Data are an annual average for the 2018 calendar year. Mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been modelled as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) has been modelled as hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Data for upstream and downstream processes: Secondary (generic) data were used for forestry, chemical production, packaging materials and electricity, as allowed under the PCR (IEPDS 2015). All data are from the GaBi Life Cycle Inventory Database 2019 and are typically representative of the years 2015 to 2018, depending on the dataset (thinkstep 2016).

Electricity mixes: All electricity is based on national averages for 2016 from the GaBi Life Cycle Inventory Database 2019 (thinkstep 2019).

Allocation: Where required, co-product allocation using the most relevant physical quantity (mass, energy or exergy) was applied for core processes. Allocation rules for secondary data (upstream/downstream processes) are documented on the GaBi website (thinkstep 2019). Recycling allocation follows the polluter pays principle in line with IEPDS (2017).

Cut-off criteria: Environmental impacts relating to personnel, infrastructure, and production equipment not directly consumed in the process are excluded from the system boundary as per the PCR (IEPDS 2015). All other reported data were incorporated and modelled using the best available life cycle inventory data.

Asaleo Care Environmental Product Declaration for Toilet Tissue 9

Environmental indicators Indicator Description

Global Warming Potential (GWP)

Also known as carbon footprint, GWP is the potential of greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide and methane – to increase absorption of heat reaching Earth’s atmosphere, intensifying the natural greenhouse effect. Net emissions from fossil and biogenic sources are reported separately within this EPD. Biogenic GWP includes the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as trees grow and the release of this carbon at end-of-life.

Acidification Potential (AP)

The potential of emissions to cause acidifying effects in the environment, typically due to acid rain. Potential downstream effects include fish mortality, forest decline and the deterioration of building materials.

Eutrophication Potential (EP)

The potential of emissions – such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) – to contribute to excessively high nutrient levels in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, which can cause undesirable shifts in species composition and elevated biomass production (e.g. algal blooms).

Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP)

A measure of emissions of precursors that contribute to ground-level smog formation (mainly ozone, O3). Ground-level ozone can be harmful to human and ecosystem health and can also damage crops.

Water Consumption (net use) of water from lakes, rivers and groundwater. Consumption of rainwater in forests is not included in this EPD as there is currently no widely accepted method for determining a baseline water use case for forests against which consumption could be measured.

Primary Energy Demand (PED)

A measure of the total amount of primary energy extracted from the earth. PED is expressed in energy demand from non-renewable resources (e.g. petroleum, natural gas, etc.) and energy demand from renewable resources (e.g. biomass, hydropower, wind energy, etc.). Efficiencies in energy conversion (e.g. power, heat, steam, etc.) are taken into account.
