FBA Social Media Promotes E-Commerce, Recycling For Holidays This holiday season, Fibre Box Association (FBA) is working to promote corrugated box recycling. Corrugated packag- ing is a part of daily life, especially with e-commerce pur- chases landing on doorsteps everywhere this time of year. Look for messaging about corrugated packaging’s essen- tial role in holiday e-commerce, along with reminders and how-to information on recycling holiday boxes. To finish out the year, we’ll continue our strong focus on boxes as the backbone of e-commerce. We’ve adapted our e-commerce ad (see page 16) for the holidays and will focus our attention on happy holiday deliveries made pos- sible by corrugated packaging and ask consumers to gift us back, by recycling their boxes. We have been and will continue to share messages, infographics, key facts and short videos on our social media platforms throughout the month. In addition, we’ll be amplifying the corrugated recycling messages shared through the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and the Paper + Packaging Board’s holiday campaigns to ensure the broadest reach across all target audiences. We encourage you to follow, like, share and re-share these important messages. Find specific examples in FBA marketing coordinator Tricia’s “Trending Now” article at www.fibrebox.org .
