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.
