GreenBlue

2008 annual report

dear friends,
In many ways, 2008 was GreenBlues most significant year of growth: we doubled our staff size and expanded the scope of our work, including the launch of a major new initiative. Our two largest projects continued to expand the Sustainable Packaging Coalition grew its membership and developed several new resources for the packaging industry while CleanGredients attracted new subscribers in the cleaning products industry and we forged new partnerships with private sector leaders who are intensifying their commitment to more sustainable industrial systems. While Im mindful that the economic downturn brings uncertainty for the days to come, I hold a deep sense of optimism and hope that the year ahead will bring more success for GreenBlue and, even more importantly, the broader sustainability movement. Since GreenBlues founding, we have taught our private sector partners to embrace sustainability innovation in order to succeed long-term. The environmental crises of the past fifty years have certainly persuaded many to pursue such innovation, but the financial crisis of the past few months may force them to do so. Many are questioning the very foundations of our economy, including our dependence on dwindling resources and inefficient systems. Just as necessity is the mother of invention, crisis can be a driver for positive change for reimagining and redesigning how industrial systems and economies can thrive in concert with the natural world. The most viable strategy forward in the current climate of unsustainable economic and environmental practices is to embrace the kinds of informed experimentation that GreenBlue has long advocated, and which will ultimately lead to productive innovation. Organizations like GreenBlue that have been pushing for this change are positioned not just to survive the downturn, but to thrive. In the private sector, while many companies are struggling just to remain afloat, we have seen leadership companies continue to invest in new technologies and deepen their financial and operational commitments to sustainability, because they know that it is critical to their long-term success. We are well positioned to work with such companies, which is why I believe GreenBlue has and will continue to remain stable in an uncertain time. There is much uncertainty but also great potential, and I am confident that GreenBlue will play a role in finding the opportunities that lie in the challenges ahead.

GreenBlue SupportS a poSItIVe VISIon For tHe Future oF tHe planet
We see exciting opportunities for industrial systems to be redesigned to align economic, social and environmental benefits. We envision a world where industry contributes to the conservation and growth of ecosystems and enhances human health. Where businesses and the natural world thrive together. GreenBlue connects this positive vision for sustainability with real opportunities for immediate implementation.

GreenBlue uSeS DeSIGn aS a leVeraGe poInt For eFFeCtIVe aCtIon

GreenBlue is staffed by scientists, engineers and design professionals who ask: How can we design, prototype, and realize better products and systems? GreenBlue asks this question in specific contexts to reveal practical design and business opportunities.

GreenBlue WorKS DIreCtlY WItH THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO CREATE MORE SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS
GreenBlue provides decision-makers with pragmatic information about how to improve industrial systems. We engage industry in activities that are broad in scope (e.g., sector wide, life-cycle-based and supply-chain inclusive) with the potential to result in positive systemic impacts.

2008 HIGHlIGHtS
COMPASS, an online software tool that allows packaging designers and engineers to compare the human and environmental impacts of their designs, was released in beta version to SPC members in September after more than two years of development. It will be released to the public in March 2009. The SPC hosted over 325 packaging professionals from 175 companies in San Francisco in April for its largest-ever Spring Meeting. There were over 50 presenters, including California Department of Conservation Director Bridgett Luther, GreenBiz.com Editor Joel Makower and Dr. Markus Eriksen, Director of Research and Education at the Algalita Marine Research Foundation.

The Essentials of Sustainable Packaging curriculum, designed for packaging professionals seeking a greater understanding of how sustainability criteria can be effectively integrated into the packaging development process, was taught to over 170 individuals in eight different locations across North America in 2008 after launching in January.

Over 225 representatives from SPC member companies attended the SPC Fall Members-Only Meeting in Denver in September to attend project work sessions and collaborate on new project development. SPC staff trained members on how to use the COMPASS software, reviewed the metrics and labeling work and developed ideas for new project work in 2009.

The SPC continued to develop Environmental Briefs of Common Packaging Materials, a series of technical briefs to summarize the environmental, human health and other relevant issues associated with the production, use and end-of-life of common packaging materials. The complete collection of briefs will be released publicly in March 2009.

The SPC has developed a draft Sustainable Performance Metrics Framework for a set of common performance indicators and metrics by which companies can track and gauge their performance against key elements of the SPC definition of sustainable packaging. Version 1.0 will be released in March 2009.

The SPC partnered with Packaging Digest magazine for a second annual survey of SPC members and the general packaging industry this fall. Results showed SPC member companies have a greater understanding and commitment to packaging sustainability: 71% of SPC members said they were very familiar with sustainable packaging issues compared to 31% of other respondents. SPC members were more likely to have formal sustainable packaging policies (71% compared to 32%) and include more sustainability criteria when measuring packaging operations.

Green2Green officially launched at the Greenbuild Expo and Conference in November, making it the only website that provides free comparisons of green building products. Ongoing development throughout the year resulted in new website features, such as the ability of manufacturers and dealers to self-list an unlimited number of products at no cost. Major companies such as Sanyo Commercial and CertaintTeed Insulation have listed products on Green2Green, as well as innovative new companies like GreenFiber and MetroBrick. Green2Green now features building products from thirty-two different categories and is working to provide credible information for all green products on the market.

A COMPREHENSIVE ROAD MAP FOR RESOURCE RECOVERY.

2008 HIGHlIGHtS
GreenBlue has developed a Glossary of Material Types to provide clear definitions of all major packaging materials and standardize terminology across material types to provide a common framework for communication along the supply chain.

WITH FUNDING FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF ConSerVatIon, GreenBlue InItIateD tHe CloSInG tHe loop proJeCt In 2008, a reSearCH proJeCt to Create a DetaIleD teCHnICal anD polICY report tHat IDentIFIeS KeY opportunItIeS FOR SYSTEMIC LEVERAGE TO ACHIEVE IMPROVEMENTS IN MATERIAL VALUE RECOVERY ACROSS A RANGE OF MATERIAL TYPES AND proDuCt CateGorIeS.

The Design for Recovery Guidelines will advise designers on requirements that should be considered in order for a specific material (paper, metal, plastics and glass) to be compatible with different available recovery methods (e.g., recycling, composting and waste-to-energy).

In an effort to collect information on best practices for the collection, sorting and reprocessing of packaging and other municipal sold waste, staff has visited sorting plants and waste to energy facilities. During the past year, they have visited 17 reprocessing and recycling facilities in Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, North Carolina, Colorado, Belgium, England, Germany, Austria and Switzerland to understand the different technologies and implications of material recovery systems.

To guide policy recommendations, Closing the Loop staff have researched international recycling laws and policies, as well as extended producer responsibility legislation and systems in Canada, the European Union, Japan and South Korea.
