“Programs like TICCIT are so important because they help students see sustainability in a tangible, memorable way,” said Paperboard Packaging Council President, Emi- ly Leonczyk. “By connecting trees, recycling, and paper- board packaging through hands-on learning, companies like Colbert Packaging Corporation are helping inspire the next generation to think differently about renewable mate- rials, environmental responsibility, and the important role our industry plays in building a more sustainable future. We’re incredibly proud of the impact Colbert Packaging continues to make in their communities through TICCIT.” In its ninth year of participation, Colbert’s manufac- turing facilities in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Elkhart, Indi- ana, conducted TICCIT programs with 200 second- and third-grade students at schools in three states: Riverview Elementary School in Silver Lake, Wisconsin; Grass Lake School in Antioch, Illinois; and Bittersweet Elementary in Mishawaka, Indiana.
