PaceSetter Ridgeline Sustainability Benefits

Renewable Resource

Unlike plastic and other packaging materials that are extracted from the earth, PaceSetter Ridgeline uncoated recycled paperboard 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

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.

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.
