Companies partner in the U.S. to help educate the public about the benefits of cartons and carton recycling
The Carton Council of North America (CartonOpportunities.org) is proud to announce the formation of a Carton Recycling Champions network, a group of companies committed to improving carton recycling. Inaugural members of the network include the following companies, all of whom are committed to improving carton recycling: Boxed Water Is Better; Crystal Creamery; Dean Foods; Fat Tuesday; GoodBelly; JUST Beverages; Kemps; Leahy-IFP; Pacific Foods; The ReWall Company; Turner DairyFarms and WhiteWave Foods.
“We have made tremendous strides since 2009, increasing access by more than 177%. Today, more than 50% of all U.S. households have access, which means they can recycle cartons in their communities either through curbside or drop-off locations. As access continues to grow, it becomes even more imperative that Americans know that cartons are recyclable, and the brands and retailers that reach these consumers are a critical partner in ensuring that is happening,” says Carla Fantoni, who oversees communications for the Carton Council and is also a vice president of communications for Tetra Pak, Inc. in the U.S. and Canada. “Carton Recycling Champions understand the role they have to play, and the role they are expected to play by their customers, and have enthusiastically joined with us to help promote carton recycling.”
