Sonoco Expands Recovery For EnviroCan Containers Hartsville, South Carolina based Sonoco an- nounced it is expanding post-consumer re- covery and recycling opportunities for its Envi- roCan paper containers in the U.S. to be used as raw material at 10 of its paperboard mills to produce new paperboard. According to Elizabeth Rhue, Vice Presi- dent of Sustainability for all Sonoco U.S. paper mills, Sonoco has validated that they can ac- cept rigid paper cans in bales of mixed paper coming from residential Material Recovery Fa- cilities (MRFs). These mills, located in Menasha, Wiscon- sin; Newport, Tennessee; City of Industry, Cal- ifornia; Hartsville, South Carolina; Holyoke, Massachusetts; Richmond, Virginia; Sumner, Washington; Hutchinson, Kansas; DePere, Wisconsin; and Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, will use the mixed paper to produce 100 per- cent recycled paperboard, with up to 85 per- cent post-consumer fiber. “Sonoco is uniquely positioned as a lead- ing recycler, paper mill operator and paper packaging converter to help grow end of life solutions across not only our consumer and industrial packaging platforms, but across the paper industry,” said Rhue. “After validating that our mills could recycle EnviroCan factory scrap, we are now taking the lead to further demonstrate the ability to recycle our paper containers with metal ends not only through the steel stream, as it is largely done today, but also through the post-consumer mixed pa- per stream.”
