the sustainability challenges and priorities members face. Through this survey, we aim to understand our members’ sustainability needs, enabling PPC to provide targeted re- sources and advocate effectively on behalf of our industry. Championing Sustainability With TICCIT “It’s really exciting to see the kids light up with enthu- siasm. We ask them a lot of questions rather than just pushing information on them and having them sit quietly and listen. They like to talk and share their feedback, and seeing their imaginations soar is fun,” said Wanda Speer, Marketing Manager, Colbert Packaging.

PPC’s commitment to sustainability shines through our TICCIT (Trees into Cartons, Cartons into Trees) program, which educates students nationwide on the renewability of paper and paperboard packaging. This year, with the support of our members, we saw a remarkable 40 percent increase in saplings planted from 2023 to 2024. Our mem- bers led efforts to teach young people about the critical role of trees, the many applications of paper, and the im- portance of recycling, fostering environmental awareness in the next generation. Thank you to all members who hosted and participated in a TICCIT event in your local communities – your dedi- cation to environmental stewardship and community edu- cation helps us build a brighter, more sustainable future. As we express our gratitude for the achievements of 2024, we look ahead to 2025 with excitement. Our in- dustry’s trajectory is shaped by every member and every innovation that reinforces PPC’s mission to elevate the pa- perboard packaging sector. Your contributions make all of this possible, and we are honored to work alongside such passionate and forward-thinking leaders. Here’s to contin- ued success and innovation in the year ahead. PPC member, Colbert Packaging Corp., reached more than 150 second-and-third grade students this year, educating students on sustainability and the life cycle of trees through PPC’s TIC- CIT (Trees into Cartons, Cartons into Trees) initiative. Students from Riverview School in Silver Lake, Wisconsin, enjoyed the planting activity led by the Colbert Packaging employee team.
