Box Manufacturers Aim To Recapture More Fiber Box manufacturers working with the Paper and Packaging Board’s (P+PB) industry-wide residen- tial recycling initiative will take part in PACK EX- PO’s “Pack to the Future” exhibit, October 23-26, at Chicago, Illinois, McCormick Place, where event goers can learn more about this program and expe- rience a virtual reality (VR) journey in a futuristic, time-traveling corrugated car. Box To Nature Developed by P+PB in collaboration with par- ticipating paper and corrugated manufacturing companies and industry partners, this residen- tial recycling “Box to Nature” initiative pairs box manufacturers and e-commerce brands to print a reminder graphic on their boxes that encourages consumers to recycle. The Box to Nature program differs from other packaging recycling initiatives because it specifi- cally addresses paper packaging recycling behav- ior—the bulk of which is related to e-commerce shipping boxes. The Box to Nature graphic provides specific in- structions on how to easily recycle (empty, flat- ten, recycle) and a QR code that directs them to Box2Nature.org where they will find memorable, easy-to-remember messages to encourage recy- cling habits. Message Received When the message was tested before launching the program, 75 percent of consumers indicated they would be more likely to recycle their e-com- merce box after exposure to the graphic. The goal is to increase the residential box recy- cling rate and recapture more fiber to make new paper-based products. Participating brands also get a positive lift in perception among consumers due to the association with their choice to use sustain- able, recyclable paper-based packaging.
