P+PB To Work (CONT’D FROM PAGE 38)

The Box to Nature program differs from other packag- ing recycling initiatives because it specifically addresses paper packaging recycling behavior—the bulk of which is related to e-commerce shipping boxes. The Box to Nature graphic provides specific instruc- tions on how to easily recycle (empty, flatten, recycle) and a QR code that directs them to Box2Nature.org where they will find memorable, easy-to-remember messages to encourage recycling habits. When the message was test- ed before launching the program, 75 percent of consum- ers indicated they would be more likely to recycle their e-commerce box after exposure to the graphic. The goal is to increase the residential box recycling 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 sustainable, recyclable paper-based packaging. “Putting the Box to Nature graphic on every box, not only helps the brands’ customers understand how easy it is to recycle properly and thanks them for doing so, but it also shows them that the paper industry is taking pos- itive steps towards sustainability,” said Mary Anne Han- san, president of P+PB. “E-commerce delivery growth has made increasing residential recycling an imperative. How- ever, our research found that two out of three consumers confess to not always recycling. Getting that recycling in- formation on boxes and educating consumers on how to do it correctly is a big step in the right direction.” Visit Box to Nature at paperandpackaging.org to learn more about how to participate in this program to recapture consumer packaging and to watch the video.
