Sonoco expects to divert approximately 3,300 tons scrap materials annually from four of its paper container operations based in the United States. These materials will be delivered to Sonoco's paper mills in Menasha, Newport and City of Industry and will be used as raw material for production of 100% recycled paperboard. Being a leading provider of recycler packaging, paper mill operator and packaging converter, Sonoco will help deliver end-of-life solutions across its consumers and industrial packaging platforms. In fact, the company is making progress in recycling paper containers with metal ends not only through the steel stream, but also through the paper stream. Also, Sonoco is focused on expanding recycling of paper cans through post-consumer recycling streams.
