The 100% Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA-100%) is pleased to announce that Graphic Packaging Corporation has joined the Recycled Paperboard Alliance.
Graphic Packaging operates three paper mills, 24 converting facilities and two machinery manufacturing facilities and employs approximately 7,700 people worldwide. Following the recently closed merger with Altivity Packaging, the company will now own and operate five 100% recycled paperboard mills. The addition of Graphic Packaging, a strong and dynamic company, the Alliance continues to grow and focus on providing value to RPA-100% licensees and end users of 100% recycled paperboard.
Bob Mullen, Chairman of the Board for RPA-100%, believes that having Graphic Packaging as part of the 100% Recycled Paperboard Alliance is important because, “They are a significant force in the North American market, and their membership helps strengthen the voice of the RPA-100%.”
David Scheible, President and Chief Executive Officer of Graphic Packaging Corporation, agrees that this is a valuable partnership. “Our membership in the RPA-100% is a source of information and technical assistance for both our employees and customers,” he said. “The Alliance is also committed to growing the 100% recycled paperboard business in North America by promoting the environmental and economic benefits of CRB, which is ultimately good for the CRB industry and our shareholders.”
