Curtis Packaging Discusses Sustainable Packaging

Droppo’s presentation also included estimates of savings achieved when post consumer recycled fiber is used in place of virgin fiber. Among other examples, he mentioned “A project that uses 286,000 lbs of paper, with a recycled percentage of 50 percent, is equivalent to preserving 1372.8 trees, or leaving 55 barrels of crude oil or 972,400,000 BTUs unused.” Curtis is recognized for its advanced technological capabilities and, as Droppo said, “The benefits of our continuing commitment to environmental initiatives are shared by our clients, their customers and the community itself.”
