PAPER CIRCULARITY AT GREIF
Greif paper packaging is a net-positive recycler. In simple terms, we recycle more than we make! It helps that most of our paper packaging is made from a renewable and reclaimed source – old corrugated containers. In other words, your old pizza box!
Bulk cardboard bale recyclers in LA
Los Angeles uses a lot of cardboard. That’s a good thing compared to other materials because cardboard can be easily recycled into new products. The Greif location at 5585 East 61st Street, Commerce, CA 90040, takes in things like yesterday’s take-out order packaging or the boxes that delivered fresh oranges to your local grocer and positions them for milling into new paper products. It’s an important step in a circular economy that sees e-commerce boxes go from your front porch to a new life as new paper-based products.
