A Cleaner, Greener End Product
Through its ongoing commitment and
attention to all aspects of corrugated production
and renewal, the corrugated industry continues
striving to produce the cleanest, greenest
packaging material on earth. Meanwhile, ongoing
research promises to develop even greater
advances every day, helping maintain corrugated's
leadership in preserving the earth's natural
resources for future generations
The corrugated industry has been providing
cost-efficient fiber-based packaging for over 100
years, always managing our businesses according
to sustainable values. Because of our
relationship to natural resources, we have long
understood the connections between our economic
performance, environmental stewardship and the
positive impact of our products in people’s
everyday lives. We see sustainability as an
interconnected, reinforcing dynamic for managing
a successful enterprise: wise environmental
stewardship, stable financial performance and
commitment to sustainability make our industry
financially sound and aligned with the broader
values of society and the needs of sustainable
operations, leading us to develop creative
packaging to meet those needs.
Why Recycle?
Recycling corrugated helps decrease solid
waste disposal in landfills. It also provides
fiber that is reused to make new corrugated, so
we can use less new, raw material. Recycling
corrugated even earns revenue for the end-user,
because that recovered material (called "OCC,"
for "old corrugated containers") is valuable to
paper mills and manufacturers of new corrugated.
