Industry Updates Standard For Recycling Cardboard The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and Fibre Box Association (FBA) announced an update to their “Voluntary Standard For Repulping and Recycling Coated or Treated Corrugated Fiberboard and its Equivalents in the Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) Recycling Stream.” The Voluntary Standard provides an indus- try-supported set of test protocols that evaluate whether products such as coated or treated cardboard packaging are repul- pable and recyclable. “This will help our industry develop in- novative coatings and treatments for card- board packaging to meet customer needs, while also ensuring they can be validated as repulpable and recyclable,” said Vice President, Industry Affairs, Terry Webber. A joint committee of AF&PA and FBA members developed the update to the Voluntary Standard. It is aligned with cur- rent mill technology and manufacturing practices. The Voluntary Standard aims to help the industry evaluate their coatings and treatments to ensure their packaging can be repulped and recycled using com- mon mill technology. “The repulpability and recyclability test procedures deliver results that are valid, reliable and repeatable,” said FBA CEO Bob McIlvaine.
