Newsletter Sample:
Phone Book Roundup

• City & county recycling coordinators, partners in our company's phone book recycling programs, who needed ideas on collection, promotion and marketing methods that worked in other communities,
• End users and transporters of the recovered phone books, essential partners in the programs, who needed to know how many tons of material would be coming their way within the next quarter (and from where),
• Waste haulers and recycling companies, who needed to get recognition to justify to their executives their donation of services to the programs,
• Other program sponsors, who also needed recognition to justify their investment,
• Our own company executives and key employees, to show how our recycling efforts supported our product in the marketplace,
• Regional and national recycling and paper industry media, to give our company recognition for its participation in the programs.

This was the final issue of the newsletter.  As such, it's a little longer in places than some previous issues, but it offers a good comprehensive look at all the publication's aspects.  The winds of change blowing through the recycling industry are well depicted in a number of ways on its pages, especially in hindsight.

The company's name and its product brand names have been omitted from this sample.  Most graphics have also been omitted to shorten time for downloading of the file.  This changes the appearance of the newsletter from its printed version on many pages, but the text and content of the document are what's being emphasized here, not its aesthetic qualities.

To help you navigate to the sections of the newsletter that would be of interest, here's a rundown of the regular "departments", with direct links to each:

     In spring of last year, the Yellow Pages Publishers' Association (YPPA) announced its alliance with Earth's 911 to increase the tonnage of old phone books recycled.  With member publisher contacts named and procedures for sharing information now in place, the partnership is ready to proceed with helping local communities get the word out about their directory recycling programs.
     Earth's 911 is a zip-code-based network of local recycling information that can be accessed by phone at 1-800-CLEANUP or online at

www.cleanup.org.  The program is funded by major national sponsors that include Ford Motor Company, British Petroleum, and Microsoft Corporation, allowing it to operate at no cost to users or taxpayers.  Through Earth's 911, thousands of environmental hotlines nationwide have been consolidated into one point of contact.  The system is supported by outreach, educational and media relations programs.
     Future possibilities for the alliance include joint public

The "Market News" column in Phone Book Roundup contained information gleaned from a number of paper-industry publications and websites that many of our local recycling partners did not read on a regular basis.  The information that pertained to the marketing of old phone books was distilled into a convenient form to help them see the "big picture" and overcome some of the difficulties they may have been encountering in marketing the material recovered in their communities.  Global economics was a big part of Market News.  It was subdivided into sections to be more accessible to readers.

The column was filled with industry jargon and information that seems dull as dishwater to someone unfamiliar with it, but was well-accepted by its intended audience.  The "Forecasts" section of the column gave them an idea of what to possibly expect in the near future.
 

Market News
what's happening in
the paper markets
[shown as a headline on a graphic of a newspaper]

there that reduced orders in the fall.  China actually bought more U.S. mixed paper than did Canada.  Mills there continued to buy No. 8 News in January, and remained interested in both OCC and mixed paper.  Some were delaying shipment of orders until after the Chinese New Year.  Prices were reportedly lower than domestic prices.
     The Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) announced that Europe was a net exporter of paper in 1999.  Production increased for all paper grades on the continent in 2000.  Germany led Europe in both generation and consumption of recovered paper.  The excess was chiefly exported to Asia.  In 2000, Germany has seen a drop in buying by Southeast Asia, while demand in neighboring European countries has risen slightly, but competition from U.S. dealers has kept prices low.
     Both Spain and Italy consumed more paper stock than they generated in 1999.  In 2000, Italian mills began to seek more long-term contracts with suppliers to combat stock shortages, with imports from the U.S. of higher grades more than tripled over 1999.  Lower international prices also affected Spain's paper market, with prices falling in the second half of the year.  Most of the Spanish import demand was met by other European countries, but U.S. high-grade exports to Spain more than doubled.
     Higher demand for finished paper is increasingly being met by foreign mills.  Western Europe used more recovered paper than U.S. mills in 1999.

Forecasts
     The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) says that the use of recycled fiber will grow faster than paper industry capacity over the next several years.  In the group's annual Survey of Paper, Paperboard

and Pulp Capacity and Fiber Consumption, it says that recycled fiber now makes up 36.2% of the feedstock used by paper mills, having grown 2.6% in 1999 and 2.2% in 2000.  Recovered fiber is expected to grow to 37.3% of feedstock by 2003.  Growth areas in capacity include printing-writing papers, tissue products and gypsum wallboard facing.  Consumption is expected to increase fastest for ONP.  To view the full press release about the study, visit AF&PA's website, www.afandpa.org.
     Recovered paper prices were expected to rise in 2001 due to factors like lower supply due to bad weather, increased export demand and domestic mills returning to production after downtime.  Many predicted a slow first quarter because of saturated markets and contract buying, but the predominant feeling is that prices for most grades will be more stable this year.
     A price increase for 30-lb. newsprint is expected for March 1.
     Most agreed that the paper markets will see some impact from the slower economy, although most expected it to be short-term.  ONP demand may drop, in part due to lower ad budgets in the slower times, but ONP is also viewed as potentially the most stable of all grades.  The Fed's lowering of interest rates was seen as a positive indicator, with stocks for most paper companies rising.  Production of newsprint and tissue were seen as stable or increasing in the first half of the year.
     Some feel that there will be an increased emphasis on manufacturer responsibility for products produced in 2001, especially in the area of electronics.  Government influence at the federal level is expected to be in the form of incentives for producing green or recycled products.
     Demand for insulation feedstock is expected to continue in 2001.  The export of recyclables overseas will likely increase as long-term deals are made that will lock in floor

Market News is continued on page 7

     After higher prices earlier in 2000, most paper markets ended the year with a downturn.
   ONP markets remained strong well into fall, with exports picking up in October, then joined the other paper markets with a tumble in November.  High domestic demand for dry ONP among insulation mills and boxboard plants kept prices high in the southeast through the summer, and the grade remained stronger than normal through December.  Rising demand for No. 8 news lowered the supply of No. 6.  Prices for pulpwood climbed in the 3rd quarter, driven by wet weather, shortage of supply, and rising demand for wood pulp in the face of the higher recovered paper prices.
     A shortage of labor for sorting recovered paper was one factor working to force prices up.  Transportation rates were also rising across the board from higher fuel prices and a shortage of truck drivers, raising the cost of material for buyers.  Bad weather this winter has caused some delays in delivery, although collection appears not to have suffered.  But prices fell in December despite these continuing costs, and despite higher-than-anticipated demand for the fiber.  Paper is continuing to move, however, with few brokers maintaining inventories for long.
     Exports of recovered paper were higher than ever before through 2000, with export prices also mostly up over 1999.  Mixed paper was traded most heavily.  ONP was the only grade for which exports fell in 2000, likely due to its strength in price compared to other grades.
     Heavy buying by Chinese mills earlier in 2000 meant high inventories

The "Briefs" section of Phone Book Roundup highlighted the local phone book recycling programs, allowing those in charge of collecting the books to share ideas about what worked for them.  They were also a way to give recognition to local program sponsors and individuals who were instrumental in making the programs successful.  The information for this column was gathered from the various company managers in charge of our involvement in the programs.
 

Anderson, South Carolina
     A school program is planned here, with Anderson County matching [Company]'s contribution to the prize money.

Athens, Georgia
     The new Athens-Clarke County municipal recycling center opened in September.  On hand for the grand opening were several thousand students and residents from the area.

Atlanta, Georgia
     Five counties and numerous municipalities are involved in this campaign.  Partners here included Southeast Recycling, Atlanta Intercel, Rock Tenn, and a number of local Keep America Beautiful affiliates.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
     Additional drop-off sites were used, and a business pick-up program was initiated in the area's 2000 program.  Support was provided by Southeast Recycling and BFI.

Boone, North Carolina
     This program begins in January and runs through the end of March, due to weather constraints in the area.  Participating Watauga County schools earn cash awards based on the number of books they collect.  The program runs in conjunction with the Skyline Telephone recycling campaign.

Brunswick, Georgia
     The local Keep America Beautiful affiliate coordinates this

Camden, South Carolina
     Kershaw County and Camden schools are collecting old phone books now for recycling, with cash awards from [Company] as an incentive.  Residents and businesses may also take their outdated books to several drop-off sites located throughout the area.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
     Recycling information was provided in both English and Spanish on delivery bags for new directories.  Promotion was also achieved via ads in local media.  Collection continues through January.  Durham Paper Stock accepts old phone books year-round with newspapers from the county's drop-off sites.

Charlotte, North Carolina
     63 tons of old directories were brought in to the Mecklenburg County MRF on one Saturday in September by community non-profit groups.  Checks & certificates were presented at a City Council meeting to the groups bringing in the most books each Saturday of the program.  The books are handled by Casella Waste Systems' facility, which was formerly owned by FCR.

Students in Cleveland, Tennessee learned about phone book recycling from "See-More Yellow Pages".

Columbus, Georgia
     A press conference kicked off the 2000 directory recycling campaign.  The kick-off was covered by the local CBS and Fox network affiliates, and featured hockey players from the Columbus Cottnmouths as well as mascots from [Company] and the Columbus City Blue Bin program.  Also on hand were a city recycling vehicle and a [Company] bucket truck, and representatives of [Company], Keep Columbus Beautiful Commission, Columbus City recycling department,

Gainesville, Florida
     An "in-house" PSA featuring [Company's mascot name] was filmed at the school winning last year's collection contest to spur competition for this year's program.  It was provided to other schools in the county for showing during morning announcements.  Schools collect old phone books through mid-February, transporting them to designated drop-off sites on a specified collection day.  Curbside collection and additional drop-offs are available throughout Alachua County, and the University of Florida conducts its own on-campus collection effort.

Gainesville, Georgia
     Keep Hall Beautiful coordinates a school collection program here, where the schools compete for cash prizes and ice cream parties.  Packets of information sent to the schools included a flyer from [Company] with recycling facts related to the local phone book program.

Jackson, Mississippi
     Of those surveyed, 47.7% of residents and 56.4% of businesses said that they recycled their old phone books there in 2000.  Recycling methods included drop-off sites and collection by area youth groups.  Sites and transportation were provided by Goodwill Industries.  The program was coordinated by Keep

Jackie Eldridge of the City of Jacksonville chats with a visitor to the city's exhibit at the fall Home & Patio Show.

Jacksonville, Florida
     Visitors to the fall Home & Patio Show and the Southern Women's Show could pick up a [Company's white pages brand name] CD at the City of Jacksonville's booth.  Those who expressed interest in the electronic product were also given information about the area's phone book recycling program and the products made from the recovered books.

Key West, Florida
     Public and private schools throughout the Florida Keys are again collecting old phone books through January in this program, despite severe downsizing of the Monroe County recycling department that used to collect the books from the schools.  Working directly with the schools and with waste haulers in the county, the program is continuing.  It was promoted through a message on delivery bags for new directories.

Knoxville, Tennessee
     This year's program was kicked off with a media event and poster contest for elementary school students.  Rock-Tenn provided a scholarship to the high school student

Lake Charles, Louisiana
     New [Company] phone books will be delivered in bags with a recycling message here.  Participating Lake Charles Parish schools are competing for cash prizes.  Additional recovery efforts involve Girl Scouts, with badges offered as incentives to the girls.

Louisville, Kentucky
     Those who received the [Company's mini directory brand name] product were presented with a message from Earth's 911 on the directory's tab page.  The ad featured the group's toll-free number and website that link users with information on recycling for old directories and other materials.

Maryville/Alcoa, Tennessee
     New [Company] phone books were delivered in bags with a custom recycling message.  Keep Blount Beautiful coordinated a school collection program in December, with  participating Maryville, Alcoa and Blount County schools competing for individual and school prizes.  Six public drop-off sites were also available in the area.

Mississippi Gulf Coast
     County recycling coordinators in Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties distributed packages of recycling information from [Company] to schools in the area to boost the education value of this fall program.  Transportation partner Fayard Fastway Systems shipped nine loads of books brought in by the schools.

Muhlenberg County, Kentucky
     Schools again collected old phone books for prize money in this program sponsored by [Company] and the Muhlenberg County Extension Homemakers, Muhlenberg County Opportunity Center, and Muhlenberg County Landfill.  Newspaper advertising in the Leader News helped to raise public awareness.

Murfreesboro, Tennessee
     Over 25,000 old phone books, over 33 tons, were collected by area schools.  SP Paper Recycling processed the collected books.  Teachers at area schools were able to incorporate the recycling message into their lesson plans with a recycling information package provided by [Company].

Nashville, Tennessee
     New [Company] phone books were delivered in bags with a recycling message.  The city's curbside program was eliminated as an option this year.  [Company's audiotext product brand name] in the directory are providing specific information about the campaign.

Orlando, Florida
     Recycling information on delivery bags for new directories was provided in both English and Spanish.  A recycling exhibit was also displayed at a press conference to announce new features of the [Company] directories being distributed.  The program is conducted in partnership with Sprint, and continues through mid-February to accommodate deliveries of various books in the area.  Drop-off sites are available in Osceola County year-round, with curbside and drop-off options in Orange and Seminole Counties during the campaign.

Raleigh North Carolina
     This program runs from February through April.  24 drop-off sites are available throughout Wake County.  A recycling message on delivery bags promoted [Company]'s recycling website and the Earth's 911 toll-free number as sources of more detailed information.

Savannah, Georgia

Miami/Dade County, Florida
     The community recycled over 2,447 tons of old phone books in 2000, with collection achieved via curbside programs, 26 drop-off sites, and the annual "Bring It Back for

The "Company & Product News" section of the Market News column in Phone Book Roundup was important to readers because many of these companies were end markets (or potential ones) for recycled phone books.  While a lot of paper grades were discussed in the column, all of them impacted the market for "OTD", or old telephone directories.

prices.  Exports are also expected to benefit from the lower value of the U.S. dollar.  Demand for higher grades of recovered paper is rising in Europe.
     Mixed reactions are greeting the Nine Dragons Mill in China as it returns to production.  While some buyers felt that orders would increase, others said the mill had been maintaining a high inventory.  Some blamed the OCC spike in 2000 on the mills' buildup of inventory prior to its three-month shutdown.  Other increased Chinese capacity will increase orders from there for recovered paper, but could hurt domestic sales of finished paper products.
     Lifestyle changes among Chinese consumers are seen as increasing demand for recovered paper there, as more people begin to use tissue and paper towel products and more mills are built to supply them.
     Many in the recycling industry foresee increased commingling of recyclables, and a move toward more regional processing of recovered materials.  Better automation is expected to decrease, although not entirely eliminate, manual sorting.
     Tim Fields, assistant administrator of the U.S. EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, sees increased flexibility coming in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that governs landfills.  Roles of local communities and private industry will expand, as may the number of lawsuits against businesses who pollute.
     Most agree that e-commerce is changing the recycling industry, but ideas on the scope and types of change vary.  Richard Venditti of Fibermarket.com sees the entire industry completely changed within 3-5 years.  Online exchanges that operate similar to the way business is done now in the recycling industry will be the most successful, and likely the only long-term survivors.
 

Company & Product News
     Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. closed its newsprint mill in West Tacoma, Washington at the end of 2000.  The mill used residential mixed paper as furnish.  The company is also closing one of its newsprint machines at the Wayagamack mill in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, and has shut down one of three newsprint machines at the Lufkin, Texas mill.  The Lufkin facility will now produce a different grade of paper.  At A-C's Sheldon, Texas newsprint mill, expansion of the deinking plant has opened up the possibility of switching to 100% recycled pulp as furnish.
     Aracruz Cellulose of Brazil is building the world's largest eucalyptus pulp mill, expected to be online next year.  The company cut production in the fourth quarter of 2000 in response to declining Asian demand.
     Aspen Bay Pulp & Fibre is putting in a bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) mill in Menominee, Michigan.  The mill, which will be located next door to the company's Great Lakes Pulp & Fibre mill, is expected to start up near the end of 2002.  Great Lakes produces 100% recycled pulp.
     Bowater Inc. is putting in a new kraft pulp line at its mill in Catawba, South Carolina.  The new line is expected to be up and running by 2003, but will not increase the mill's capacity, since it is converting its existing pulping line from newsprint to No. 5 coated groundwood.  The company took some

The "Regulatory & Government Issues" section of the Market News column in Phone Book Roundup was of great interest to many readers.  Since one of the key partners in the programs was local government recycling coordinators, they were keenly interested in funding issues and federal or state recycling mandates.  The section begins at the bottom right-hand column of this page, and continues onto the next.

continued from page 7

     Gaylord Container Corp. took substantial downtime at its mills during the fourth quarter to reduce rollstock inventories.  The company uses 800,000 tons of recycled fiber annually.
     Georgia-Pacific expects the company's kraft and tissue mill in Palatka, Florida to be operating 100% elemental chlorine free (ECF) by February of 2001.  The mill does not use any recycled fiber, relying on a furnish of pine pulp to make bleached & unbleached papers and bleached linerboard.  G-P is permanently closing its mills in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Nekoosa, Wisconsin, and in December shut down its market pulp & tissue mill in Bellingham, Washington.
     The Guangxi Lipu Paper company in China will start a new linerboard machine in mid-2001.  Feedstock will be mainly OCC for the 40,000 metric tonnes per year machine.
     Holmen will replace an old paper machine at its Hallsta mill in Sweden, increasing the facility's capacity of MF magazine paper targeting markets for specialty magazines, newspaper supplements and ad inserts.
     The Huatai Group in Dong Ying City, Shandong Province, China has acquired a second-hand paper machine from Haindl Papier of Germany.  The machine has a capacity of 150,000 mtpy of newsprint.  No startup date was specified.
     In August, Inland Paperboard & Paperboard Packaging Inc. converted its recycled medium mill in Newport, Indiana to making paper for gypsum wallboard.  The mill has the capacity to change the type of paper made to meet fluctuating market demands.
     International Absorbents Inc. of Bellingham, Washington is increasing its capacity by 70%.  The company makes animal bedding and industrial absorbents from paper mills' captured waste fiber.  With the expansion, the mill is now accepting

Research & Education
     The 12th annual State of Garbage in America report conducted by BioCycle magazine reveals that 65% of waste in the south is landfilled, while 28% is recycled and 7% incinerated.  The South also reported having 1,019 curbside recycling programs, making a curbside option available to 25.8 million people, or 55% of the population.
     Ciba Specialty Chemicals Water Treatments Ltd. has patented a polymer emulsion for use in flotation deinking.  The substance is said to improve brightness of pulp from paper printed with flexographic inks.
     Earth Paper of Canmore, British Columbia offers a line of papers made using dung from buffalo, horses, moose and elk.  The paper is similar to that created from virgin plant fiber.  "An animal's stomach works the same was as the acid used in a pulp mill to separate vegetative cellulose fibers," said Cyndi Foster, elementary school teacher and creator of the papers.  Foster got the idea for the "poopaper" from a South African practice of including dung from elephants and rhinos in their paper mixture.  For more information, see the company's website, www.expertcanmore.net/earthpaper.
     The Kao Corporation of Japan patented  a deinking process that involves "sipping" ink from the flotation system.  The process yields bulkier pulp sheets with higher strength and printability.
     Kimberly-Clark Corp. is building a new product testing facility in Neenah, Wisconsin.  The company's other facilities in Neenah make personal care, specialty and other papers.  Kimberly-Clark has also patented a process for making a bulkier tissue web with a porous non-woven substrate.  The process can employ both virgin and recycled fibers, including fibers from non-wood sources.

New Products & Uses
     The Akron Zoo in Ohio has been experimenting with using shredded OCC instead of straw for animal bedding.  Zookeepers have found the product to be more sanitary and easier to clean.

Mergers, Acquisitions, Etc.
     American Tissue Mills purchased the Global Tissue LLC mill in Memphis, TN, and has restarted parts of it.  The acquisition augments American's U.S. tissue production capacity to 450,000 tons per year, making it the fourth largest tissue manufacturer in the U.S.  Parent company American Tissue Corp. is also buying the Ampad and Forms divisions of American Pad & Paper of Dallas.
     Caraustar Industries Inc. purchased Arrow Paper Products Co. of Michigan.  Arrow is a converter for paper tubes and cores for the automotive, film and housewares markets.  Caraustar also completed its purchase of Crane Carton Co. LLC of Chicago, a heavy user of recovered fiber.
     Chesapeake Corp.'s European division bought Scotland's Lithoprint Holdings Ltd., maker of wet-applied labels.  Chesapeake also makes printed cartons, composite tubes, and self-adhesive labels, primarily for the European alcoholic beverage market.
     Eco-form International of Ontario purchased Eco-form Inc. of Massachusetts.  The companies make a molded-fiber product from ONP and OCC that is used to package electronics, computer & telephone equipment and consumer products.

the 2000 program, topping last year's total of 3,459.  The local 4-H chapter was especially active in the area's old phone book roundup, which is administered by Chris Benjamin of Keep St. Johns County Beautiful.  Adding the books collected in the county's curbside program for over 37,000 residents, the campaign yielded over 32 tons of old phone books.

West Palm Beach, Florida
     Locally-produced TV ads and [Company]'s PSA featuring phone books having a conversation about their fate were used for a media blitz in August to kick off this campaign.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina
     Newspapers in both English and Spanish helped to promote the phone book recycling program here.  The Winston-Salem Journal, The Chronicle, El Bilingue News and Que Pasa ran ads featuring curbside instructions and drop-off sites.
