Commitment to Recycling and Sustainability

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we choose cartons that are fully recyclable and contribute to diverse recycling streams. While FDA regulations currently limit the use of recycled fiber in liquid food packaging, our cartons are designed for maximum recyclability, supporting efforts to repurpose materials effectively, including:

  • Grade 52: Used in tissue paper production
  • Grade 54: Used in mixed paper products
  • Construction materials: Converted into sustainable options like roof tiles and wall boards
