2. Continually improve and update the Breville Target not met:
Packaging Database to collate and monitor company
packaging inclusive of material composition, weight The Breville Packaging Database has been
and cost maintained but hasn’t been developed further during
the reporting period. Work will be undertaken in 2015
Target: and 2016 to further verify packaging inclusions and
• Establish baseline packaging data the original data collected.
measurement
• Monitor product to packaging ratio
• Document packaging changes and cost
savings3. Review all existing packaging against the company Target met:
SPG template
All existing packaging has been reviewed, and the
Targets: majority of clam shell packaging has now been
• Review clam shell packaging by 2013 phased out.
• Review electric blanket packaging by 2014
100% of existing packaging reviewed by 2015 Clam shell packaging now represents only 1.4% of
unit sales.
The last remaining product in clam shell packaging
will undergo another packaging review during FY
2015 to examine alternatives that can adequately
display all the components.
Electric blanket packaging has been reviewed and it
has been agreed the current reusable packaging
format will remain as a storage case for use during
the summer months.
4. Incorporate SPG review into the new product Target met:
development process
The Sustainable Packaging Policy has been
Targets: endorsed by the CEO and executed in June 2013.
• Sustainable Packaging Policy endorsed by
CEO and communicated The Policy is communicated internally to the business
• SPG incorporated into packaging specifications and externally to all Breville manufacturers to
reinforce Breville’s commitment to sustainable
packaging.
Relevant Sustainable Packaging Guidelines have
been incorporated into the ‘Breville Premium
Packaging Specification and Declaration Form’, which
is now approved for use.
5. Identify and document new opportunities to improve Target met:
existing packaging based on outcomes of packaging
reviews A number of packaging improvement opportunities
were identified and have commenced following the
Targets: SPG existing packaging reviews:
• New packaging improvement actions • Research and approval to use heavier Gift Box
documented and quantified packaging (A flute) to reduce inner product
• Packaging improvement targets quantified for protection packaging required (e.g. less
specific projects polystyrene).
• Increasing the use of moulded pulp to replace
polystyrene where possible
• Commenced phasing out products using clam-
shell packaging where possible
• Checked all products for opportunities to
remove superfluous packaging components,
i.e. total number of packaging items per gift box
for all SKUs
• Commenced project to rationalise instruction
booklets to:
◦ Reduce total content to decrease
number of pages
◦ Reduce ‘chapter’ heading pages to
decrease number of pages
◦ Remove printing reversed out of solid
colour to reduce the volume of ink used
◦ Remove blank pages at the end.
• Reducing ink used to produce instruction
booklets by:
◦ Removing pages with complete ink
coverage from the style guide template
◦ Changing from aubergine and black (2
colour print) to black (1 colour)
◦ Eliminating the ‘Spot Colour’ will reduce
reject rate, and expedite development
time to production.6. Remove point-of-sale element packed with each Target on track:
product once the product has been established in the
market place Point-of-sale swing tag packaging has been removed
from all food preparation and 30 Kambrook products
Target: that have been in the market longer than 18 months.
• Point-of-sale eliminated from 25 Kambrook
products and 45 Breville products POS materials have been reduced by 5,254 kg, which
• 10,000 kg packaging saving in 2013/14 represents a 19% decrease (from 28,125kg to
22,871kg).
Packaging weight has gone down from 15.3% to
14.5% of the total product weight (2.3kg down to
2.1kg average).
7. Remove polystyrene from company kettle and toaster Target exceeded:
products
100% achieved - polystyrene has now been phased
Target: Polystyrene phased out of 85% of kettles and out of all kettle and toaster products.
toasters
8. Identify three more categories (1 per portfolio) to Target exceeded:
eliminate polystyrene from
Three more categories were identified to investigate
Target: 85% of each portfolio category is polystyrene the opportunity to eliminate polystyrene:
free 1. Stick mixers – 100% removed
2. Milk frothers – 100% removed
3. Deep fryers – 100% removed
Polystyrene packaging has been reduced overall by
3,037m2, which represents an 11% decrease (from
27,880m2 in FY13 to 24,843m2 in FY14).
9. Reduce reliance on printed materials in favour of Target on track:
alternative electronic mediums
Work has been undertaken to investigate
Target: opportunities to reduce paper used to produce
• 10% reduction in paper used to produce Breville instruction books via:
Breville instruction books • Reducing total written content
• 10% reduction in paper used to produce • Reducing large headings
Breville warranty cards • Removing solid colour and blank pages
• Rationalising the inclusion of recipes
An initial sample of 6 instruction booklets were
rationalised saving an average of 40% in length
(pages). This represents the upper limit of potential
savings.
Further savings of approximately 20% can be
achieved by removing recipes and putting them
online.
Some consideration has been given to reducing
paper used to produce Breville warranty cards via:
• Including warranty information in instruction
books to reduce reliance on cards (possible
and will be further investigated in 2015)
• Rationalising content (not possible).
Further work will be undertaken next reporting period.
10. Conduct review of recycling messages on all Target partially met:
company packaging
The review of recycling messages on company
Target: All company packaging adheres to the packaging is complete. It was identified that not all
Australian Standard AS/NZS 14021 for any recycling messages were consistent with the
environmental claims Australian standard.
Correct messages have now been included in the
new ‘Breville Premium Packaging Specification and
Declaration Form’ which will be rolled out in the next
reporting period.11. Review opportunities to eliminate superfluous Target met:

and other superfluous packaging materials A template has been developed to verify the
documented information from the Breville Packaging Database
and, where relevant, recommend improvement
opportunities.
The review has commenced for target products and
will be ongoing in the next reporting period.
12. Investigate opportunities to reduce the use of shrink Target not met:
wrap in the company warehouse
The warehouse site relocation resulted in the need to
Target: 5% reduction in shrink wrap consumption utilise more than the normal requirement of shrink
wrap (17.8 tonnes stretch film purchased in FY13,
21.1 tonnes purchased in FY14)
Slip sheet despatching was introduced in March 2014
at the new warehouse facility. This will eliminate re-
wrapping when loading into outgoing freight trucks,
which should ultimately help reduce the volume of
shrink wrap used per volume of product moved (note:
total volume of shrink wrap used is subject to the
state of the business and volume of product moved).
13. Continue to report product to packaging ratio for Target met:
product sold into the Australian market
Total ratio (proportion of packaging weight to overall
Target: Product to packaging ratio remains steady or product weight) has decreased from 15.3% in FY13 to
improves by portfolio 14.5% in FY14. This represents a reduction of 276
tonnes of packaging:
• Beverage: ratio improved by 4.33%
• Food Prep: ratio improved by 1.15%
• Cooking: ratio up by 0.93%
• Kambrook: ratio improved by 0.71%
Products require different degrees of packaging
protection therefore this overall figure will be
influenced by changes in the overall mix of annual
product sales.
14. Consider alternative measures to monitor packaging Target met:

protection therefore this overall figure will be
influenced by changes in the overall mix of annual
product sales.
14. Describe any constraints or opportunities that affected performance under this KPI
Much work has been undertaken to research and in some instances test different packaging alternatives.
Transition to more sustainable packaging options have in some instances been constrained by:
• Technical feasibility
• Meeting timelines to launch
• Inability to meet stringent Breville drop test standards
• Cost when alternatives are significantly more expensive than existing
• Limited availability of the packaging in countries where Breville products are manufactured; and
• Counter-productive environmental outcomes, i.e. switching to recyclable alternatives which increase total
packaging volume and weight and further increase shipping and transport space requirements.Goal 2: Recycling
KPI 3: % signatories applying on-site recovery systems for used packaging.
15. Do you have on-site recovery systems for recycling used packaging?
Yes at all facilities/ sites
Yes at some, but not all facilities/ sites
No

out to do?
1. Improve consistency in waste and recycling Target partially met:
infrastructure via colour coding bins and improving
signage Bin colour coding cannot be implemented for the
external outdoor bins as the bins are not the property
Target: of Breville.
• Standardised colour coding of all waste and
recycling bins consistent signage on all bins Signage for key waste collection was implemented at
• Contamination of recycling streams less than Minto and Botany sites.
10%
• Recyclables in general waste less than 10% Signs include:
• Scrap Metal Only - product to be 50% or
greater metal content
• Cardboard Waste Only- please breakdown and
flatten
• Landfill - hard plastic, glass, timber, non-
recyclable
A new organic waste collection has been
implemented and is identified via a dedicated crimson
coloured bin.
Recycling bins for mixed containers (i.e. bottles,
cartons, jars and cans) are identified via a dedicated
light blue bin with yellow lid with images of co-mingled
containers.
Recycling collectors have reported only once where
contamination of the recycling stream was found. A
company communication was issued to reflect this
and alert staff.
There is no way to record recyclables in general
waste as this is not broken down via the collector.
2. Investigate opportunities to recycle waste polystyrene Target partially met:
and flexible plastics
Opportunities to recycle waste polystyrene and
Target: Company recycling improved by 5% by flexible plastics at Botany have been investigated and
recycling flexible plastics found to be inefficient and cost prohibitive.
• Collection was via a 5m³ bin with $20/m³ +
transport costs. The site cannot accommodate
a 5m³ bin
• An onsite polyfoam processing machine would
cost $700/mth
With the increased phasing out of polystyrene from
packaging, the volume of collected polystyrene is
reducing.
Flexible plastic recycling is working at the Minto
warehouse facility which is evident by the increase in
plastic collection and reduction in general waste.3. Waste and recycling database developed and Target partially met:
maintained
Total onsite waste and recycling is monitored. In the
Targets: 2014FY:
• Waste and recycling data gathered and • Total waste to landfill decreased by around 8%
analysed quarterly • Total pallet waste decreased by 26%
• Company recycling rates monitored and • Cardboard and office paper waste decreased
reported by 43%
• Estimated packaging recycling rates captured • Metal waste decreased by 63%
• Plastic waste recycling doubled
• Hard container recycling diverted over 2 tonne
for recycling
• New organic waste recycling service diverted
around 0.5 tonne of organic waste from landfill

2. Provide guidance to retailers that send returned Action not progressed:
product for repairs about preferable packaging types
which can be recycled. The use of protective plastic wrapping is mostly only
used by end consumers when sending goods back
Target: Reduction in the use of non-recyclable reply-paid. This is a very small proportion of returned
product protection packaging by suppliers goods.3. Develop process to optimise packaging for transport. Target partially met:
Target: Opportunities to reconfigure product transport Transport routes and packaging have been reviewed
for better pallet optimisation, without losing and some changes implemented.
economies in container shipments research and
documented QLD, Vic, SA and Tas deliveries are volume filled and
trucks are 100% utilised.
In NSW, NT and WA there are now shuttle runs
between the Breville warehouse and transport depots
and slip sheeting has been introduced to reduce
shrink-wrap usage. However this method has
reduced the optimum transport space configuration
as stacking is not possible. It should be noted that
with the warehouse move to Minto the distance
between warehouse and freight depots has reduced
from approximately 70km to 30km.
Note: slip sheets are 100% recycled plastic. Sheets
are utilised approx. 30 – 50 times before being
replaced. No wooded pallets are used for this
transport mode.

Target: All company APC information is audit ready maintain APC action registers and project
documentation in designated electronic filing systems
and via Excel based documents.
Packaging data is available company-wide through
our business intelligence and reporting tool, QlikView.
6. Action: Work with printer hardware contractor to Target met:
monitor cartridge recovery.
Printer cartridges are collected for recycling by a third
Target: Printer cartridge remanufacture or recycling party from the Botany site. 113.28 kg of cartridges
rates documented was collected and diverted from landfill as notified by
third party collection provider.
Future Minto printer cartridge collection will be
transferred over to Alexandria for bulk collection, due
to the low volume of cartridge usage at Minto.7. Action: Continually work to identify and assess new Target met:
APC action opportunities.
New opportunities are continually identified and
Target: New APC actions identified, assessed and investigated for potential implementation. New
reported in company APC Annual Reports initiatives included:
• New gift box format utilising heavier packaging
investigated
• Polystyrene phase out broader than originally
planned
• Warranty card inclusion in information booklets
researched
• Participation in the APC mobile phone
collection drive completed
Investigations were undertaken to source and trial an
ultra-heavy weight A-Flute Gift Box for products 9.0kg
and over.
The corrugation does not detract from the
presentation of box imagery and artwork, and the
new packaging has been approved for
implementation in 2015.
The heavier weight Gift Box will provide greater
structural support to help:
• Reduce or potentially eliminate some of the
internal product protection packaging currently
required, i.e. polyfoam
• Enable polyfoam to be replaced with moulded
pulp packaging in some instances for heavier
products which need to meet stringent drop
test standards
• Potentially reduce overall packaging volume
per unit to reduce shipping volumes
The new packaging has been approved for use but
not introduced in the reporting period. The new
packaging format was developed as a result of the
SPG existing packaging reviews.
26. Since the beginning of the reporting period, has your company had any other outcomes related to product
stewardship?
Yes No
If yes, please give examples of other product stewardship outcomes

1. Action: Review all product labelling to consider the Target exceeded:
potential inclusion of consumer messages to promote
preferred disposal options The review of recycling messages on company
packaging is complete.
Target: Review of consumer packaging disposal
information complete and new opportunities identified Guidelines for correct disposal messages have now
been included in the new ‘Breville Premium Packaging
Specification and Declaration Form’ which will be
rolled out in the next reporting period.2. Action: Conduct company site assessment at Botany Target partially met:
head office to check any onsite litter issues.
Botany waste review conducted in April 2013 with

Waste collection plan factored into the new office site
Target: Litter management plan for new site plans.
documented and adapted to suit new location
Key change: metal waste collection at new Alexandria
site will be transported to Minto site due to the low
volume of waste.
Potential site litter issues are yet to be determined.
4. Action: Phase out polystyrene packaging, where Target complete:
possible, to reduce potential kerbside litter issues
associated with wind-blown litter Company success phasing out polystyrene is
reported in KPI 1. Packaging alternatives
Target: (Refer actions 1.7 and 1.8) implemented are mostly recyclable and less likely to
result in wind-blown litter due to careless disposal of
the packaging by customers.
29. Describe any constraints or opportunities that affected performance under this KPI
Breville packaging will rarely end up in the litter stream. There is limited opportunity for the company to influence
litter.
Your Experiences
This section lets you share with us any achievements, good news stories and areas of difficulties in making progress against
your plan and the Covenant goals and KPIs.
30. Key achievements or good news stories
Plans to phase out polystyrene packaging are tracking ahead of schedule.
A number of potential packaging improvements have been identified during the SPG review of existing packaging
and work is now being undertaken to both amend current products but importantly change packaging
specifications so that new products have improved packaging.
31. Areas of difficulties in making progress against your plan, Covenant goals or KPIs
Some actions will need to be revisited given the relocation of the company warehouse and planned relocation of
