PaceSetter Conceal Sustainability Benefits
Renewable Resource
- Unlike plastic and other packaging materials that are extracted from the earth, PaceSetter Conceal is made using 100% recycled fiber content (minimum 45% post-consumer) that starts with trees, a renewable resource
Recyclability
- Paperboard cartons are generally viewed as being widely recycled with >90% of U.S. communities having access to recycling for non-poly-coated paperboard and 60% of communities having access to recycling for poly-coated paperboard (American Forest and Paperboard Association’s Access to Recycling Study 2021)
Renewable Energy
- We use up to 65% renewable biomass energy in the manufacturing of our paperboard
PaceSetter Conceal Features
Fiber Procurement and Chain of Custody
- As part of our sustainability strategy, Graphic Packaging is committed to sourcing wood and paperboard material from certified chain of custody and non-controversial sources. All the recycled paperboard that Graphic Packaging sells meets the requirements of the Recycled Paperboard Alliance 100% (RPA100), Sustainable Forestry Initiative Certified Sourcing, and Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody certification programs.
- The RPA100 certification program, which is third party audited, validates that the paperboard is made with 100% recycled fiber. A copy of our current certificates can be found on our website.
Environmental and Safety
- Complies with California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (California Proposition 65)
- Complies with European Union Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
