This week, we had the pleasure of announcing our exciting Cup to Cup: Closing the Loop partnership project — an innovative collaboration between Sustana Fiber and three other supply chain partners, working together to demonstrate that Starbucks cups could be recycled and turned into new cups.

Two types of recycled fiber – composed of either post-consumer reclaimed material or pre-consumer reclaimed material – can be used to make recycled paper. The two are fundamentally different, as specified in these definitions from the FSC®

Accelerating demands for sustainable products and responsible corporate behavior are reshaping the food, beverage and restaurant industries – and with them the food packaging industry.

Most consumers are unaware of the steps and parties involved in the process of transforming paper recovered from recycling bins into final products.

One small change made by Production Superintendent Phil Nysse at Sustana Fiber in De Pere, Wisconsin managed to reduce fresh water consumption at the plant by just under eight per cent per ton of fiber recycled, since 2016 when the change was made.

Sustainable Brands brings together the world’s leading sustainability experts, and there’s no shortage of thought-provoking conversations, compelling breakout sessions, new ideas and inspiration. 

Sustana promotes and applies sustainable manufacturing and business practices to deliver premium, eco-friendly recycled fibers to customers across North America. One example of this is the unique food packaging product EnviroLife.

Now more than ever, the general and informed public of this world are looking to CEOs and business leaders to take the lead on important issues over governments.

Among marketing and communications professionals, the longstanding consensus is that paper and digital communications are complementary, with distinct strengths. And the strong point of sustainably-manufactured paper is its low environmental impact, which may be a surprise to some in this digital era.
