Recycling Corrugated

Corrugated is a natural, environmentally friendly medium that is recycled more than any other packaging material. It is produced by an industry deeply committed to its "cradle to grave" involvement in responsible use and reuse of its end products and raw materials.

Recycling Champion.

Corrugated has been recycled for decades, mostly by commercial users such as your neighborhood grocery store. As a matter of fact, 73% of all corrugated was recovered for recycling in 2004. Families across America have joined in the effort as community recycling programs grew and matured.

The corrugated industry wants to recover its product to make more boxes, which almost always include substantial recycled content, and end users derive revenues from the sale of OCC (old corrugated containers).

Growing demand for and market value of OCC gives communities a good economic reason to recycle corrugated.
