Plastic displays, metal
displays and glass displays will all take generations to decompose while
our cardboard displays decompose in only a few months! It's not just
about using a recycled display it's about what happens to it when
your display is finished! Our cardboard displays are the easiest
material to recycle but in case they don't get recycled they will still
breakdown and decompose in soil so they will never harm the environment.
See the chart below showing how long it takes for different materials to
decompose.... |
Cardboard/ The Recycling Champion. |
 |
|
Corrugated
fiberboard is more likely to be recycled than any other product,
surpassing glass, aluminum and plastic. Today, 73 percent of all
corrugated is recovered for recycling - up from 54 percent in 1990. In
2004, over 24 million tons of corrugated were recovered for recycling in
the United States. In fact, a single fiber from a corrugated box can be
recycled many times before it is too short for continued use.* |

Our cardboard displays in WHITE or in
Kraft color shown above will typically decompose in 4 to 8 months. They
are also 100% Recyclable! |
|
These plastic displays will NEVER
decompose in soil. Decomposition rate for Plastic is "Forever"
|
Metal Displays will
literally take hundreds of years to decompose. |
| Did you know our displays are 100%
recyclable? |
| Corrugated is a natural, environmentally friendly
medium that is recycled more than any other packaging material. It is
produced by an industry deeply committed to its "cradle to grave"
involvement in responsible use and reuse of its end products and raw
materials. |
Our Safe Product Guarantee:
|
Our
corrugate will NOT contain, any intentionally added lead, hexavalent
chromium, cadmium or mercury or a combined concentration of lead,
hexavalent chromium, cadmium or mercury of 100 or more milligrams per
kilogram. |

The difficulty with
calculating the recycled content of a given product or for a given plant
is that a plant may run an order this month with liners from Mill A
(about 20% recycled content) and medium from Mill B (100% recycled
content). Next month, for the same item, the liners could come from
Mill C (3% recycled content) and the medium from Mill D (30% recycled
content). Further, depending on mill operating conditions, those mills
that run with anything less than 100% recycled fiber will have some
fluctuation of actual recycled content in their production, even from
hour-to-hour. Also, Supply chain situations could cause roll stock
suppliers to change a month or two in the future. The Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) regulates the use of environmental marketing claims
such as recycled content of packaging. The FTC does allow the use of
annual averages in recycled claims provided that the average can be
supported with documentation based on weighted average of the materials
used. At this point in time, tracking containerboard consumption and
recycled fiber usage is a labor-intensive process.
SSCC does publish the
recycled content of each of our own mill’s output. However, individual
mill recycled content data should not be used to represent the recycled
content of a finished box.
In a change from the
previous version of our Recycled Content Position Paper, the Corporate
Environmental staff and the Container Division’s Technical staff have
determined that we can no longer calculate an accurate recycled content
percentage of our box plant system output. This conclusion arises
because it is difficult to determine the tonnage shipped from each of
our own mills to our box plants vs. the tonnage shipped to trade
partners and outside sales customers from our mills. It is even more
difficult to determine the recycled content and the tons shipped into
our box plant system from each of our trade partners individual mills.
This tonnage is about one million tons annually. Today, we can only
make claims regarding the fiber supply make-up of SSCC’s Containerboard
mill system. The following statement can be used to respond to customer
inquiries regarding SSCC’s mill system’s fiber content: |
