we care about the entire life-cycle
We strive for the lightest footprint possible.
- We begin making paper that is 100% recycled with over 750,000 tons of wastepaper, of which 400,000 is post-consumer waste. That’s over 50%!
- We make them in regional facilities with efficient manufacturing that includes chlorine-free treatment processes, reduced water and energy usage, and in-house recycling processes.
- These regionally made products are put in locally sourced, recycled content cases that are printed with vegetable and soy-based inks.
- They are delivered to our customers from these regional locations with our best-in-class fill rates exceeding 99%. Did you know that we can provide one-day transit to over 70% of our customers?
- Just as we strive for the smallest footprint, we continue to make sure our products themselves best utilize their own space. Our SmartFit initiatives optimize shipping units to reduce fuel usage and warehouse storage needs. We’ve been able to optimize nearly 10.2 million cubic feet of trailer space that was previously unused. That has allowed us to annually save 3200 trucks and 280,000 gallons of diesel fuel. It also saved 1.6 million miles, enough to drive around the earth 64 times! That's a savings year over year.
- Our innovative Tork Systems help reduce consumption at the source – with the consumer. This helps reduce the amount of waste being disposed of in local landfills.
- Our cases, cores, and wrappers are all recyclable. This reduces the burden on local landfills and completes the loop, providing recycled content to begin the process again.
