TempLgnland <br /> Memo <br /> To Michelle Henry <br /> From Jim Dacayanan <br /> Date August 26,_2010 <br /> Subject Inks used at Temple-Inland <br /> We characterize our inks as non-hazardous for the following reasons- <br /> Many of our customers purchase our product to use as packaging for food products. By <br /> agreement with our provider, CRI, our inks are prepared for the purpose of providing our <br /> customer with a food-safe package. Our ink supplier must provide a product that is not <br /> only non-hazardous for the purpose of our waste stream management, but to also assure <br /> our customers of a safe packaging product. <br /> To further that assurance we require that the product have in its MSDS supporting <br /> statements that the ink passes muster relative to California Proposition 65 for carcinogens <br /> or reproductive harm, the FDA for suitability as food packaging, and CONEG standards <br /> for toxic metals content. <br /> Please review the MSDS for the sample inks provided. I selected MSDS 178 as one of <br /> the widest groups of inks, MSDS 234 as the single most used ink, and MSDS 501 as a <br /> typical component CRI uses to create the finished ink formulas. I also include the current <br /> Waste Stream survey for waste inks. <br /> We have not changed our relationship with CRI nor changed our process in any way that <br /> would impact proper characterization of our waste ink. <br /> I believe that any previous shipment arranged to handle our inks as hazardous waste were <br /> simply in error. <br />
