A pizza box with grease on it can be recycled by paper mills! Our industry confirmed this through research, ensuring pizza boxes stay in the recycling stream and get turned into new products. #NationalPizzaWeek
Paper recycling is America's success story. Paper is one of the most successfully recycled materials in the U.S.! Strong recycling supports American manufacturing.
125,000 tons of paper are recycled every single day. We turn it into the essential paper products Americans rely on. Paper recycling drives U.S. manufacturing. #AmericaRecyclesDay
Congratulations @Walmart for phasing out single-use plastic mailing envelopes and replacing them with recyclable paper mailers! https://t.co/pklFYzh7YU
Recycled content mandates, like the one proposed for paper bags in California, create negative environmental & economic consequences by: preventing recovered fiber from going to its highest value end use; & raising the cost of production for new paper products.
Strong paper bags are a sustainable option. They’re recyclable, accepted in curbside bins and compostable. California’s proposed recycled content mandate for paper bags will not help them reach their sustainability goals. It will hinder progress. #CALeg
Paper bags are 100% recyclable and compostable. They play an important role in California’s recycling goals. But putting a recycled content mandate on paper bags will not help California reach their goals, it will hinder their progress. #CALeg
Happy #AmericaRecycles Day! Today, we celebrate paper recycling. The gift that keeps on giving. Paper products, including cardboard boxes, are widely accepted for recycling across the United States. https://t.co/zGu8PjEzMk
It's #NationalPizzaMonth. Pizza boxes are recyclable in Canada, and are typically made from corrugated board mostly from recycled content. Once your pizza box is empty and clean, place it in your recycling bin, and it will be collected and remade into a new paper-based packaging.
Before passing EPR legislation, NY lawmakers need to wait until the statewide recycling needs assessment is complete. Read more at @timesunion https://t.co/mXGcXirnOs
There’s a hearing in Albany today examining effective legislative solutions to reduce packaging. The first step is completing the statewide needs assessment on NY’s recycling system. This is critical if NY wants to meet its recycling goals. https://t.co/9PiMBt0m2u
Thanks for setting the record straight! Paper recycling is a success story. Did you know that in 2022, the U.S. recycled more than 49 million tons of paper & paperboard? Thank you to everyone who recycles paper at home, work & school! @ForestandPaper#ForestProductsWeek
You put your recycling in the bin and drop it at the curb. Then what happens? Does it actually get recycled? Dive in to learn how the industry recycles paper. https://t.co/HNlBzkep7R #ForestProductsWeek
Reason #89 to love pizza: You can recycle the box! Just remember to check in with your local guidelines and empty out any leftovers. #NationalPizzaMonth#EmptyFlattenRecycle

We're thrilled to receive a 2023 Power of Associations Silver Award for our Better Practices, Better Planet 2030 sustainability initiative! Thank you for recognizing our commitment to sustainable practices @ASAECenter.
It’s #NationalCoffeeDay, though for me that’s every day! What I’m most excited about today isn’t my favorite blend though. It’s that more than 30 mills across North America recycle paper cups. https://t.co/Udmn8yNknL
Exciting news for Chicago! Over a million residents can now recycle paper cups in curbside bins. Always be sure to check your local guidelines! More communities are adding cups to their collection programs all the time. https://t.co/S0jlYcZrAW.
Paper recycling is an environmental success story. @forestandpaper announced the 2022 paper and corrugated – you know this as cardboard – recycling rates. Nearly 68% of paper was recycled in the U.S. in 2022 and more than 93% of corrugated. https://t.co/LMqFHeirSk
Great piece by @DomtarEveryday on the importance of the @FTC#GreenGuides and ongoing update process. @forestandpaper agrees clear guidance on environmental claims is crucial and we encourage updates. We provided the industry’s perspective on the perception of recycling claims.
The @FTC#GreenGuides are an essential resource that help ensure accuracy of environmental claims to consumers. That's why we're working with our partners at @ForestandPaper to provide suggestions for the updated guides. Learn what we're suggesting: https://t.co/tX3sr85JIl
Did you know that 88.9% of New Yorkers have access to a residential curbside recycling program? I encourage New York Assembly and Senate to approve a statewide study bill to better understand how recycling can be improved in the Empire State before hastily adopting EPR.
We are encouraged to see policymakers focus on improving recycling infrastructure. Paper recycling is a model that works. We urge NY lawmakers to oppose EPR bills S4246A / A5322A and allow the statewide needs assessment to be completed first. https://t.co/YeBvT7rQIN
I’m looking forward to speaking today on the @FTC’s panel “Consumer Perception of Recycling Claims” during their workshop, “Talking Trash at the FTC: Recyclable Claims and the Green Guides.” Paper is one of the most widely recycled materials in the U.S. #FTCTalk
