Positioned to be sustainable

Gettinger states that paperboard is an excellent choice for sustainability compared to other packaging materials. “Paperboard is a natural, renewable, recyclable material with superior carbon footprint,” she says. “Reforestation is a cornerstone of sustainable forest management; at least five new trees are planted for every tree harvested.” She asserts that the carbon dioxide removed from the air by forests offsets any carbon dioxide produced during the paperboard manufacturing process. Gettinger also adds that fibers from trees can be recycled about seven times, and paperboard has one of the highest recycling rates of all materials.
