novative, sustainable solutions, such as lightweight, right- sized shipping and product packaging, to meet consumer demand. “The great news is that all of these recycled packaging solutions for boxes, bags and other specialty products can be reclaimed and recycled into even more certified, sus- tainable containerboard, keeping the cycle going.” Paper Packaging: A Recycling Success Story A recent Two Sides North America survey entitled “Pa- per’s Place in a Post-Pandemic World” found that despite clear desire for more sustainable packaging solutions, consumers still need help understanding just how sustain- able paper can be. “More and more consumers are factoring environmen- tal impacts into their purchasing decisions, but all too often those decisions are based on pop culture myths and sen- sational, headline-driven journalism rather than fact,” says current Two Sides North America President Kathi Rowzie. “As attention turns to developing a more sustainable, cir- cular economy, the paper and paper-based packaging in- dustry has a great fact-based environmental story to tell: Paper is one of the few products that can already claim to have a truly circular life cycle.” The survey results, published in April, show that only 11 percent of consumers believe the U.S. recycling rate ex- ceeds 60 percent, and nearly 25 percent believe it’s less than 20 percent. In fact, according to the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), nearly two-thirds of all paper and pa- per-based packaging in the United States is recycled, and when it comes to corrugated cardboard, nearly 90 percent is recycled. “We have a responsibility to continue to raise aware- ness,” says Henry. “We’re very proud that the work we’re doing could push recovery rates even higher. We see more and more opportunities for paper to replace plas- tic. We are engaging with our neighboring communities for more recycling solutions. Domtar is proud to provide more sustainable packaging material for our communities and the planet.” Visit www.domtar.com for more information.
