Net-Man......indeed. The opportunities for QL and FASCM appear to be expanding exponentially.

On a separate note......was scanning through the SCA Annual Report for a bit yesterday. I think you may have mentioned this before, but SCA was 50% owner of Aylesford Newsprint, which originally housed the WRAP KDS project in the U.K.

In other words, another KDS project that has circled back from a prior project.

Here was an interesting piece I pulled out of that SCA Report.....page 63

Nature targets

Climate & energy

We will reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels
and from purchased electricity and heating by
20% by 2020, with 2005 as reference year.
Outcome: At year-end 2012, CO2 emission had
been reduced by 10.4% in relation to output.
We will triple our production of biofuels from the
forests by 2020, with 2010 as reference year.
Outcome: SCA’s production of biofuel from its
own forests amounted to 890 GWh. (870 in the
reference year 2010).

The production of wind power on SCA forest
land will increase to 5 TWh by 2020.
Outcome: 0.4 TWh of wind energy was delivered
to the grid. The first turbines in the partnership
with Statkraft were installed.

Fiber sourcing & biodiversity

We will achieve and maintain our target of zero
fresh fiber-based material, including pulp and
containerboard, from controversial sources*.
Outcome: All deliveries of pulp to SCA’s facilities
meet the requirements of the Group target.
All of SCA’s wood-consuming units were
reviewed by independent auditors and meet
the requirements of the Group target.

We will preserve the biodiversity of our forests.
A minimum of 5% of our productive land will be
set aside from forestry in our ecological landscape
plans and a further 5% will be set aside
as part of our consideration for nature in our
managed forests.

Outcome: Nearly 7% of SCA’s productive
forested area was excluded from harvesting.
In addition, 12% of forest area planned for
harvesting was set aside for preservation.

Water

We aim to achieve water sustainability and we
will reduce our water consumption in waterstressed
regions by 10% by 2015, with 2010 as
reference year.

Outcome: At year-end 2012, water consumption
in water-stressed regions had fallen by 3.4%.

All SCA pulp and paper mills will employ
mechanical and biological wastewater treatment
plants by 2015.

Outcome: Of the Group’s 40 pulp and paper
mills, mechanical and biological wastewater
treatment is installed, or is in the process of
being installed, at 39 facilities.
