The initiative combines the environmental and economic benefits of carton recycling with market demands to create more sustainable building products. The manufacturing method involves shredding cartons and then bonding them together into large, durable sheets, through a high-pressure and heat treatment process. “The innovative technology at this future facility comes at a critical time when the building industry is actively seeking methods to decarbonize processes and enhance the circular economy,” said
“This new facility not only validates the value of carton recycling but will also provide a significant boost to recycling efforts across the
“This partnership is a testament to the vision and mission of our founder’s commitment to pursuing innovative solutions to expand sustainable markets,” said
The precise location of the proposed facility is expected to be announced later this summer. Upon completion, the partners project it will use an average of 750 tons (1,500,000 pounds) of recycled cartons per month, keeping these packages in the circular economy and out of landfills.

Food and beverage cartons contain primarily high-quality fiber, with small amounts of plastic, and in the case of shelf-stable cartons, aluminum. There are two types of cartons: aseptic and gable top. Aseptic cartons are shelf-stable and are often used for products like broth, soups, juices and milk, allowing long-term storage without the need for preservatives or refrigeration. Gable top cartons require refrigeration and are often considered the traditional milk carton. When recycled, both types of cartons can be transformed into new paper products or sustainable building materials, contributing to a circular economy.
