The paper industry as a whole, along with containerboard and corrugated manufacturers have a long history of efforts focused on the sustainability of our raw materials, our products and our processes. Our use of sustainable forestry practices in the growth and harvest of our renewable raw material, a recycle/recovery rate the highest of any packaging materials and our significant use of renewable energy sources are but a few examples.

Recently, some of the world's largest and most powerful retailers are demanding accountability from manufacturers to demonstrate sustainable business practices that are responsible socially, economically and environmentally for the long-term health of our planet and its inhabitants. The Sustainability Committee was formed to help assess, address and communicate corrugated's position and enhance its perception amidst growing interest in the sustainability of packaging.
