Recycling mark systems
Guide consumers with a recycling mark on your box
Together, we can give the renewable, recyclable fibers in our boxes up to 7 lives
As recycling becomes increasingly important to consumers in the United States, eCommerce customers of International Paper have a few options to help engage consumers in the residential recovery and recycling of corrugated packaging. Meet your zero-waste goals and sustainability pledges by increasing residential recovery rates with a recycling mark.
A Paper & Packaging Board study found that:
46% of consumers would recycle more often if it “wasn’t so much work”
2 in 3 (63%) consumers confess they do not always recycle
82% agree that they feel recycling corrugated boxes is still worthwhile
77% think more highly of a company that decides to package their products in paper-based packaging
63% report that they would recycle more if cardboard packaging had recycling instructions printed on it
We can do right by the planet.
