We work toward increasing both access to carton recycling and participation in carton recycling rates to divert valuable cartons from landfills, so they can contribute to the circular economy.

The Carton Council is a coalition of four leading carton manufacturers who work in collaboration with stakeholders across the recycling value chain, including local governments, schools, sorting facilities, end markets, brands and consumers, to develop infrastructure for carton recycling and educate consumers on how they can recycle their cartons.
We are committed to further increasing carton recycling access and participation to keep these valuable materials in the circular economy, preserve natural resources, reduce climate impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Since the Carton Council formed, access to carton recycling and the recycling rate of cartons has more than tripled in the U.S., underscoring our unwavering commitment.
