pens after consumers and businesses recycle their boxes is not mentioned, which may perpetuate the myth that pa- per-based packaging primarily uses trees in the manufac- turing process, which is simply untrue. In Canada, the average recycled content for domestic shipments of containerboard, which is used to make cor- rugated boxes is 86.5 percent, and nearly 80 percent for boxboard, according to PPEC’s Recycled Content Survey. The remaining materials used in the mix include saw- mill residues and some virgin fibres from responsibly sourced forests. But to be clear, the Canadian paper pack- aging industry doesn’t use much in the way of freshly cut trees, and the little that is harvested must be successfully

regenerated by law. In 2019, the total forest harvest (for lumber and all paper grades including packaging) repre- sented 0.2 percent of Canada’s forest land, according to The State of Canada’s Forests Annual Report. We don’t take issue with the New York Times article itself, it is a well-researched piece on what has become a preferred packaging choice, and we expect there will be a continued shift towards paper-based packaging, es- pecially as governments consider banning some types of materials, similar to Canada’s ban on single-use plastics. But, articles like this should also talk about the critical role that recycling plays in the sustainability of the paper packaging industry. That must be part of any story about corrugated and paper-based packaging because it is an inherent part of our industry’s story. When we use and recycle paper-based packaging, we all play a part in protecting and replenishing our renewable resources, contributing to the sustainable management of Canada’s forests, and supporting the circular economy of the paper-based packaging industry through the import- ant act of recycling. Rachel Kagan is the Executive Director of the Paper & Packaging Environmental Council.
