National Packaging Covenant


Action Plan
2006 – 2008
Message from our Managing Director
It gives me great pleasure to introduce Coca-Cola Amatil’s (CCA) third individual National Packaging Covenant Action Plan. We submitted our
first plan in 2003, in addition to supporting the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) action plan.

CCA is of course known as the manufacturer and distributor of the world’s best-known brand, Coca-Cola. What we are less known for is our
commitment to minimising the environmental impact from our operations.

In 1994 CCA was the first company in the world to package a food grade product using recycled content in PET. Initially this was achieved
using a layering technique, whereby the recycled PET was inserted in between virgin PET and later CCA was the first business in Australia to
blend post consumer resin with virgin resin for a food quality package. In 2005, under the banner “Refresh, Recycle, Renew”, we partnered with
local authorities and our customers to trial public place recycling in key locations.

We have made great progress in reducing the material used in our packaging and in utilising material with recycled content wherever practicable.
Our progress has meant that we have either reached or are approaching physical limits in these areas. With the success of kerbside we see the
challenge for the second covenant to increase away from home recovery rates and at the same time lift the bar in overall industry performance in
packaging design and selection. We look to governments to do their part to ensure that free riders do not gain any competitive advantage from
not complying with both the letter and the spirit of the second covenant.

I invite you to read CCA’s 2006-2008 Action Plan, where our focus is on consolidating the work commenced on increasing public place
recycling, improving data collection and on incorporating the new Environment Code of Practice for Packaging into our work processes.

Our 2006-2008 Action Plan Focus
Public Place Recycling
Over the last 10 years CCA, government and industry has focussed on kerbside recovery. For the next 36 months and beyond CCA will focus
on assisting the expansion of public place recycling. Around half of our products are consumed away from home and CCA is committed to
removing them from the general litter and waste streams. Our objective is to use the knowledge we have on consumer behaviour to assist the
extension of public place recycling.

Kerbside recovery has led to significant environmental savings, with over 800,000 tonnes of material recycled through the system each year.
Kerbside recycling has demonstrated that most Australians are prepared to “Do the Right Thing”. The challenge now, is to encourage people to
“Do the Right Thing” away from home. The solution is to make it easy, convenient and cost effective for local authorities.

Our plan complements the extensive activity being undertaken under the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) industry plan. Our
experience has been that local governments have been reluctant to partner with individual companies in public place recycling. Over the life of
this plan CCA will focus on working with our customers to implement public place recycling in sites such as tourist attractions, public events,
and shopping centres. Our approach is to complement and assist work being funded under the National Projects Group of the NPC.

Doing More of the Right Thing


As indicated in our previous Action Plan, whilst we will continue to look at opportunities to reduce packaging weights across our packaging
range, both in primary and secondary packaging, after a decade of continuous improvement in this aspect of our packaging design, we are
approaching the physical limit where further reductions may not be possible without compromising the quality of our product.

CCA will continue to refine our data tracking systems at our manufacturing facilities to record waste to landfill as well as the percentage of our
overall waste being recycled. In 2006 CCA will implement an internal Covenant database to assist in improving our packaging outcomes and to
assist us to meet our Covenant reporting obligations.

Covenant Commitment

CCA was a founding member of the National Packaging Covenant and continues to be a strong supporter. The Covenant has encouraged even
greater focus on the environmental performance of our packaging and assisted in highlighting the importance of packaging minimisation
throughout the supply chain.

The role of packaging


Packaging is an important component of a product. Packaging allows products to be effectively transported, maintain their quality on shop
shelves, is used to provide information to consumers and ensures their safety is not jeopardised. Less packaging does not necessarily mean a
reduced environmental impact. Light weighting cardboard boxes to the point where they are too weak will result in increased waste through
greater stock losses in transportation. Packaging also ensures products arrive in the consumer’s hands as they left the production line. Tamper
proof packaging is now an integral component to the safety of consumers.

Focussed on Packaging
Coca-Cola is the world’s most recognised brand. Through our marketing and of course the contour bottle, Coke is differentiated in the
consumers mind. Packaging in fast moving consumer products is essential to distinguish our products and attract potential customer’s attention.
Packaging is an integral component of new product development.

CCA has commenced incorporating the revised Environmental Code of Practice for Packaging into our new product process. This will include
educating all those involved in the development of new packaging about the environmental impact of that packaging and the issues that need to
be assessed prior to decisions being made about materials and design.

Continually Raising the Bar


Coca-Cola Amatil’s mission is to “To become the supplier of choice every time”. Our values are based on continual improvement and
challenging the way things are done. Environmentally, this is reflected in our corporate environmental policy and particularly with the
commitment to ‘always look for a better way’. Looking for a better way in new product and packaging has also meant actively seeking better

4
environmental outcomes. This means continuous dialogue between our team responsible for new products development, The Coca-Cola
Company technical team and our environmental managers about ensuring the optimal environmental capability of new product packaging.

Working with Industry


CCA is a member of several industry groups in Australia, many of which work with us to meet and exceed covenant commitments. Participation
and support of industry groups such as the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) enable industry to undertake environmental initiatives
collectively through rationalising the costs involved.

CCA participates in and supports several relevant industry bodies including

6 Australian Food and Grocery Council and the


6 Packaging Council of Australia

We also represent industry on the National Project Group of the National Packaging Covenant.

Environmental Focus

CCA is committed to conducting our business operations in a sustainable manner. CCA's operations are primarily focused on the manufacturing
and distribution of beverages and are considered to be of low environmental impact.

In assessing the environmental impact of its operations, CCA has identified four key areas:

6 Water Use
6 Energy Use
6 Waste from Operations
6 Post Consumer Packaging Waste

5
Whilst this action plan focuses primarily on packaging, packaging systems are just one component in the overall production and consumption
systems for these products. Our environment assessment process for new packaging is now incorporating these broader impacts.

Shift in Culture
The Covenant and the responsibilities arising from its reporting requirements have fostered an important change in corporate culture over the
past 24 months. Improved processes have been established and followed. Environmental impacts of new products are now considered in the
early stages of the decision process and any changes to primary and secondary packaging are considered in the context of our commitment to the
NPC. Channels of communication have been developed and have greatly aided the business by having environmental impacts of products
considered from the outset, rather than as an afterthought. Building on this culture shift is a priority of this action plan.
