from their jurisdiction’s disposal sites. The bottom line is that used boxes should not end up in landfill. Recycled paper packaging represents our indus- try’s feedstock as it is continually collected and recycled through residential and business recycling programs, al- lowing those materials to be remade into new paper pack- aging products again and again. New Forestry Statistics Sustainable forest management is a fundamental pillar for PPEC and its members and is essential to the Canadian paper-based packaging industry. While most paper packaging made in Canada is pro- duced with recycled content, the paper fibres it was origi- nally made from came from a tree. However, the Canadian

paper packaging industry doesn’t use much in the way of freshly cut trees, and the little that is har- vested must be success- fully regenerated by law. In 2019, the total forest har- vest (for lumber and all pa- per grades including pack- aging) represented 0.2% of
Canada’s forest land, according to The State of Canada’s Forests Annual Report, which is published annually by Nat- ural Resources Canada. The 2022 Annual Report was recently released and is a key source of data on Canada’s forests and its sustainable management, which PPEC uses to correct misinformation about the Canadian paper-based packaging industry. PFAS PPEC continues to monitor government activity related to PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are a class of chemicals that, in some cases, have been found to be potentially harmful to the environment and human health. As perfluoroalkyl substances can provide oil, grease, and water resistance, PFAS can be found in some types of paper-based food packaging. The Government of Canada is currently considering activities that would address PFAS as a broad class and published a notice of intent in the Canada Gazette. In the U.S., several states have passed laws banning intentional- ly-added PFAS in packaging. New York’s new law took ef- fect December 31 and prohibits the intentional application of PFAS in packages or packaging components designed for direct food contact, which can include wrappers, bags and tubs that are made from paper, paperboard, and other
