Our goal is to create long-term relationships with customers that keep their businesses moving and improving through responsible and sustainable industry practices and use of resources.

RCY Intro Graphic

We are focused on true sustainability–using each link of the recovered fiber value chain to extract full economic, sustainable, and business value for everyone involved.

Our goal is to create the most sustainable business model possible. That’s why we embrace the concept of a circular economy to reduce our carbon footprint. It starts with responsible forest stewardship of our primary raw material. It extends to our use and beneficial reuse of byproducts in the manufacturing process–and finally to the recovery and recycling of our products. With our scale and strategic positioning, we improve the process at every point, making it more responsive, more secure, and less exposed to market fluctuation.

We are Sustainability in Motion®.
