P+PB Packaging Program Renewed
Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has published the results of the continuance referendum vote for the Paper and Packaging Board (P+PB). In the referendum, 64 percent of manufacturers and importers voting, who represented 76 percent of the volume of paper and pa- per-based packaging voting in the referendum, were in favor of continuing the program. “In its first six years the program established a united brand presence for the paper and packaging industry, drove engagement with our industry’s products, and even launched our lovable character ambassadors,” said Mary Anne Hansan, President of P+PB. “In the future, the cam- paign will help educate consumers about the industry’s strong story of sustainable practices. With our recently completed research confirming that consumers are care- fully examining their daily choices through the lens of sus- tainability, there has never been a more important time to share our industry’s values and reinforce our products’ core sustainability benefits.” According to P+PB chairman, Mike Doss, CEO of Graphic Packaging, “The positive response by the industry is heartening at this important time when our renewable sourcing story and nature-based products can offer envi- ronmental solutions for consumers and customers looking to make the most responsible choices they can.” Visit www.paperandpackaging.org for more.
