Paper and Board Packaging: The Natural Choice
Paper and board is the ideal packaging material for the environment. The material is made from a natural renewable resource and can be recycled multiple times.

Paper and Board Packaging is made from a Renewable Resource
Paper and board packaging plays an important role in society, providing essential, everyday products and protecting others from breaking. It also makes an important environmental contribution to sustainability by storing carbon and helping to reduce greenhouse gases. It is a sustainable material using waste products like sawdust and wood chips, and recycled paper and board fibres.

Paper and Board Packaging is recyclable
Paper and board packaging is valuable resource considering that the fibres in paper and board packaging are being recycled multiple times. Paper and board packaging provides distinct advantages over other forms of packaging, and fits in with our desire to preserve and recycle. Year after year, the recovery and recycling rates of paper and board packaging continue to rise. And when fibres can no longer be used or recycled it is possible to convert them into a renewable energy source.
