Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY

Building on the success and impactful research of the Pa- per + Packaging Board, Two Sides North America (TSNA) will step up to take the lead in promoting positive and envi- ronmentally-focused messaging for the sector. TSNA and the Love Paper Campaign will continue championing the story of sustainability, innovation, and the essential role of paper and packaging materials in our everyday lives. “As stewards of sustainability messaging for the indus- try, Two Sides North America is proud to carry forward the foundational work done by the Paper + Packaging Board,” said Jules Van Sant, Executive Director of Two Sides North America. “We are committed to leveraging their extensive research and data to inform consumers and stakeholders about the renewable, recyclable, and essential qualities of paper and packaging products.” “The Paper + Packaging Board consumer sustainability program was recently discontinued, passing its sustain- ability mantle to Two Sides North America,” states Mary Anne Hansan, President of the Paper + Packaging Board. “Consumers looking for credible data and information can rely on Two Sides North America to fill that void, incorpo- rating the impactful and award-winning work done by The Paper + Packaging Board How Life Unfolds® consumer sustainability campaign.” The transition coincides with TSNA’s renewed efforts to connect with consumers through initiatives such as the Love Paper Campaign, a globally recognized platform that educates the public about the sustainable attributes of pa- per and paper-based products. The campaign spotlights the benefits of paper’s renewability and recyclability, while debunking environmental misconceptions and fostering informed consumer choices. “We’re thrilled to bring the Love Paper Campaign to the forefront, using it as a powerful tool to reach consumers directly,” said Van Sant. “Paired with the in-depth data and research developed by the Paper + Packaging Board, we are uniquely positioned to continue driving awareness about the environmentally intelligent choices within our industry.” Two Sides North America is funded by industry mem- bers who believe in our mission & work to help tell a great- er sustainability story. The organization is dedicated to showcasing the paper and packaging industry’s leadership in sustainable forest management, innovation in reducing environmental footprints, and the unique environmen- tal qualities of paper. This includes creating educational materials, campaigns, and industry-wide collaborations to ensure the compelling story of paper and packaging res- onates with manufacturers, brands, and consumers alike. With the support of P+PB’s legacy of research and in- sights, TSNA is excited to lead the industry forward, ensur- ing the sustainability story of paper and packaging reach- es communities across North America and beyond.
