1 Intro: Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance has created best practice reporting tips for specific sectors. These tips are designed to assist you in preparing your steward reports and to help you identify the proper material reporting categories for the common packaging and printed paper materials used by businesses in this sector. These tips are provided for your guidance only. Any questions you may have about these reporting tips or any questions you may have in preparing your report can be directed to General Tips: Please include in your steward report any packaging and printed paper from promotional samples and/or gifts with purchase that are offered in-store, in magazines, through direct-mail and/or online. Please include all travel sized products distributed to consumers. Please include all returned merchandise in your steward report however, returned merchandise that is part of a recall, has expired or is damaged and unable to be sold to a consumer may be excluded from your report. Please ensure that all HR related documents and business cards are included in your steward report. Please check the resin codes on your plastic packaging as different plastics are reported under different material categories. Stewards may be able to use the Component Threshold Rule for packaging that is made up of two or more different material types when certain components of the package constitute a small proportion of the entire package.

What do I do? If you ship products to a third party s distribution centre and are uncertain of the final destination of your products, the best approach is to work with your customers to secure data about the sold to parties. If however this information is not available, you may estimate the quantities of PPP supplied to each province (and sold to consumers) by referencing Statistics Canada Population Percentage data as provided in 2.0 of the Guidebook. What do I do if I supply the same product to both commercial and residential consumers? If you supply the same product to both residential consumers and to commercial customers (such as hospitals, salons or schools) you may omit from your steward report the product supplied to your commercial customers. We recommend that you consult your sales reports which might help you determine the quantity of material supplied to consumers. Please remember that if the product is supplied to distributors or retail customers, and subsequently sold to consumers, it should be included. If it is sold to commercial or institutional customers only it should be excluded from your report. Page 11

12 FAQ: How do I use the Component Threshold Rule? If you supply packaging that consists of multiple material categories (e.g. a bottle made of one type of plastic, with a lid made of a second type of plastic) you may be able to simplify your reporting by using the Component Threshold Rule. If the packaging component or ancillary packaging makes up a small percentage (less than 5%) of the total packaging weight, you can report that component under the material category that represents the majority of the package s weight. For practical examples and more information on the Component Rule, please refer to section of Part Two of the Guidebook. Do I report grouped or secondary packaging? Please include all secondary packaging that goes to the household such as the plastic wrap around multi-pack of shampoo and conditioner or the packaging around multiple items of makeup. Why are stewards required to update the Methodology section on an annual basis? It is recommended that stewards review and update their methodologies on an annual basis in order to validate their approach to reporting each year and to ensure their data collection processes remain current for their organization. Stewards are also required to update the brands/affiliates section of their reports each year with the most accurate information, which includes brands for which they are the brand owner or the obligated first importer. Changes in either of these areas will affect quantities reported year over year. During the report validation process, variances may be identified in one or more material category. If the methodology section clarifies the reason for those variances, it makes the report validation process more efficient for staff and stewards. Some items I sell are seasonal. Do they need to be included in my annual report? If your product line changes throughout the year because you sell seasonal products, we suggest that you consult your sales data in order to determine the packaging or printed paper material associated with those seasonal items that are supplied to residential customers. Please include this material in your steward report. Page 12
