Responsibility starts here.
For over a century, the
corrugated industry has
built a business philosophy
dedicated to responsibility —
from energy conservation
to forest management to
source reduction.
Our industry is a leader in
the use of renewable biofuels,
with an average of 65 percent
of our energy coming from
this sustainable source.
And in 2008, 80.7 percent
of all corrugated containers
produced in the U.S. were
reclaimed for recycling. These
are just two of the many
reasons that make corrugated
packaging the sustainable,
responsible choice.
