Corrugated Packaging Council 1-800-879-9777
Over 60 percent of the corrugated boxes produced each year are recycled, giving it one of the highest recycling rates of any material in the U.S.
Corrugated is often made of recycled content and almost always made of post-consumer material.
It is more environmentally friendly than ever, able to accept non-toxic water-based inks and to be processed without bleaching.
Corrugated packaging allows significant source reduction by eliminating the need for over-wraps and secondary packaging.
Corrugated can also be engineered for increase strength using less raw materials, a process called "light-weighting".
Corrugated is universally accepted for recycling.
