Carton Council is represented at the conference by Jason Pelz, vice president of recycling.
The Carton Council is composed of four leading food and beverage carton manufacturers, Elopak, Novolex, SIG, and Tetra Pak. The organization works with others throughout the entire recycling supply chain to strengthen the infrastructure for carton recycling. The Carton Council is committed to diverting cartons from landfills to ensure their valuable material goes on to make new products, contributing to the circular economy.
Through this united effort, the Carton Council continues to grow a sustainable infrastructure for carton recycling nationwide and works toward their continual goal of adding access and growing recycling of cartons throughout the U.S. Since forming in 2009, the number of households with access to recycle their food and beverage cartons through their local residential recycling program has grown by almost 240%.
