International Paper and the Paper and Packaging Board Partner Up to Encourage Residential Recycling
August 15, 2022 /3BL Media/ - International Paper has partnered with the Paper and Packaging Board on the Box to Nature campaign. Box to Nature is an industry-wide initiative to encourage box manufacturers to work with brands and ecommerce customers to print an informative consumer message on boxes to increase residential recycling rates.
According to The Recycling Partnership, an estimated 40% of ecommerce boxes shipped to consumers are recovered for recycling1. While consumers want to be more conscious of their environmental footprint:
- Approximately 2 in 3 consumers confess they do not always recycle3
- 46% of consumers would recycle more often if it “wasn’t so much work” 2
The Box to Nature campaign messaging is designed to be:
- Informative – providing instructions on how to easily recycle
- Memorable – easy to recall messages encouraging recycling habits
