Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!

Send all your cereal, soda, cake mix, beer, pizza and other packaging to the recycling center—

If a box is made of paperboard-no matter whether it's printed or shiny
—then it's recyclable.

Starts Natural, Stays Natural
Buying and using products packaged in paperboard is just one way we can help create a more sustainable world. Plus, it sends a message to the marketplace to plant more trees.

Remember—Trees remove Greenhouse Gases from the atmosphere.
A young pine tree is like a greenhouse vacuum, sucking up and storing half its weight in carbon. As the tree ages, the vacuum effect slows. So for every older tree that is harvested, 5 new carbon-reducing saplings are planted, helping to clean the air.
We make our paperboard out of scrub trees that otherwise would go into landfills. And it can be recycled up to 7 times before it's finally used for things like soil enhancers.
Trees are the world's most renewable resource. What's more, our paperboard is also manufactured, delivered and recycled using renewable energy. Using up fossil fuels when we don't have to doesn't make a lot of sense, today or in the future.
