The article "Carton Recycling: Don't Underestimate the Impact" was published on the website eponline.com on Dec 11, 2012.
The article carries a lot of comment on the situation that through the unified industry effort lead by the council, carton recycling recently reached a major milestone. Forty percent of U.S. households now have access to carton recycling -- that's approximately 46.7 million households. Compared with just three years ago, when household access stood at 18 percent, this is an increase of 122 percent. During the past three years, carton recycling access has been added to programs in Dallas, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Memphis, Denver, San Diego, and Los Angeles.
Analyzing the situation it's necessary to emphasize that the author told us that even the most budget-strapped cities and fiscally conservative corporations are recognizing the importance of being more sustainable. Recycling is no longer an optional service for communities to offer. What is optional, however, is how robust the program is and how impactful it truly can be. Here is often where true leadership is demonstrated. In the corporate world, businesses are recognizing that their stakeholders, including employees and investors, want to work and invest in a company that has sustainability goals and follows through on them.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that cartons are one of the most sustainable food and beverage packaging options in existence. When looking for ways to improve sustainability efforts in packaging, there is little the carton doesn't offer. It's made mainly with renewable resources, has a low-carbon footprint across its lifecycle, and is highly recyclable.
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that the Carton Council is committed to building a sustainable infrastructure for carton recycling nationwide by working with stakeholders at each point of the recycling supply chain and carton lifecycle, from the recycling communities to material recovery facilities, brokers, paper mills, and others. Each entity has a role in elevating the prevalence of carton recycling and achieving great returns on post-consumer cartons.
In conclusion the author of the article expresses the view that compared to other areas of the world, such as Europe, the United States has been slow to climb on the carton recycling bandwagon. Carton recycling is a standard practice worldwide with more than 140 mills accepting post-consumer recycled cartons. Although carton recycling has been going on at small levels in the United States for more than two decades, we are still largely playing catch-up with the rest of the world: Only nine of those 140 mills are located in North America. When U.S. carton recycling access stood at just 18 percent in 2009, there was only one paper mill accepting cartons, but coordinated efforts by the Carton Council and industry stakeholders and leaders during the past three years have produced tremendous growth. However, there is still much farther to go.
As for me I think that we should join our efforts in order to help make a sustainable impact through carton recycling.
