INSIDE FLEET ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
Efficiency and Fleets

• Idle Reduction Program
• Reduced Idle Time by 46 from 2007
• Reduced fuel usage by 4,700G (5,200G potential
  FY)
• Total Savings YTD 19,000 (20,000 potential FY)
• Reduced Carbon Footprint by 53 Tons / 15 cars
• 250 / month awarded in incentives

INSIDE FLEET ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
Efficiency and Fleets

• Alternative Fuel (Non-Food Based)
• Displaced 75K Gallons of ULSD through Biofuel
  use.
• Reduced Carbon footprint by 836 Tons / 239 Cars
• Total Savings YTD 20,000 (35,000 Since Program
  Launch)
• MPG Trend 2006 5.66, 2007 5.89, 2008 5.96

Why Bio-Diesel?

• Bio-diesel reduces emissions
• Bio-Fuel Debate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) key
• The exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide from
  biodiesel are on average 48 lower than
  traditional diesel fuel
• The exhaust emissions of particulate matter from
  biodiesel are 47 lower than overall particulate
  matter emissions from diesel.
• The exhaust emissions of total hydrocarbons are
  67 lower for biodiesel than diesel fuel.
• Bio-diesel has positive health effects vs.
  typical fossil fuels
• Bio-diesel is nontoxic
• Bio-diesel is biodegradable
• The ozone forming potential of hydrocarbon
  exhaust emission from bio-diesel is 50 less.
• The exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and
  sulfates from bio-diesel are completely
  eliminated.

POLAND SPRING BOTTLING - FUEL EFFICIENCY
PROJECTSINSIDE FLEET ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES

• Synthetic Oil Project (09 Trial)
• Move from 18K mile drains to 60K mile drains
• CPG is a break even at 45K mile drains
• Project up to 3 increase in MPG
• Fleet FY potential at 3 is 90K savings
• Program launched in Jan 2009
• Starting with 2 Tractors as test vehicles
• Oil analysis done with first change waste oil,
  then every 18K
• Results shared with West Coast
• Trial will run FY to determine Fleet potential

14
Efficiencys and the Bottle

• Minimize material use
• Minimize energy required
• Reduce GHGs
• Reduce costs
• Increase and sustain efficiency

Project Goals

• Save Fuel Oil (25 target)
• Create good quality product
• Have no negative impact on process
• Do not add to QA workload
• ISO 14001 Compliant

Results
The dip in September was due to extra fuel being
delivered to bring a fuel oil tank Back on line
that had been taken off line. One way ANOVA shows
significant improvement

Tempering Results

• Dispelled established beliefs that cold water
  would have a negative impact on downstream
  processes. Running successfully at 45F.
• Team was surprised by extent of savings
  throughout the year. Target 25 currently at
  68.
• At Hollis, this project will save approximately
  190,000 gallons fuel or 510,000 at a cost of
  3,000 (simple ROI51 hours).
• Companywide savings are forecasted to save an
  annual 1.3 million dollars _at_ current fuel costs.
  
• Simultaneous to this project, the plant
  considered a project to capture wasted heat from
  the chillers. At that time free heat was
  estimated to save 200,000 gallons fuel oil at a
  cost of 1.4 million and a savings of 540,000
  (simple ROI of 2.6 years).
• Eliminates 11.6 million lbs or 5,800 tons CO2
  (includes Hollis, Poland Spring, Mecosta and
  Allentown)

Hybrid Vehicles

• Technology primarily for automobiles and light
  duty trucks
• Tax credits
• National credits not likely
• State credits will probably be limited and small
  in scope
• Wal-Mart testing is finding ROI a challenge
• Aerodynamic improvements help, but only
  marginally
• NWNA introducing hybrid utility vehicles in 2008

29
Recommended Policies and Actions

• Expand Efficiency Maine-type incentive programs
  helped us achieve significant electric savings.
• Develop companion program for fuel (2, propane,
  etc) use reduction incentives.
• Develop and promote successful efficiency
  stories.
• Incentivize LEED and other Green Building
  initiatives.
