According to PPEC, its 2022 survey results show the average recycled content of domestic shipments for the top two major packaging grades was 80.2 percent. The average recycled content for domestic shipments of box- board was 86. percent while the average recycled content for domestic shipments of containerboard was 81 percent. “These latest results continue to validate the success of our industry’s circular economy in collecting and recycling paper-based packaging and ensuring they are remade into new products again and again,” says Chris Bartlett, board chair of the PPEC. “With a recycled content rate of over 80 percent and confirmation that our boxboard and containerboard made in Canada is primarily recycled con- tent fibers, we are proud of the progress our industry has and continues to make.” Brampton, Ontario, Canada-based Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council (PPEC) says its most recent survey results indicate Canada’s containerboard packaging producers used recovered paper at an 81 per- cent rate in 2022. The latest report represents the results of the 17th biennial Recycled Content survey, which is con- ducted to determine the average recycled content con- tained in the major paper packaging grades made by Ca- nadian mills, according to PPEC.
