Carton Council

Formed in 2009, the Carton Council is an industry organization committed to growing carton recycling in the U.S. By promoting both recycling technology and local collection programs, as well as growing awareness that cartons are recyclable, the organization works to limit the number of cartons that become waste. In just over a decade, Carton Council has helped bring carton recycling to the majority of households across the United States.
