PAPER CIRCULARITY AT GREIF
Greif paper packaging is a net-positive recycler. In simple terms, we recycle more than we make! It helps that most of our paper packaging is made from a renewable and reclaimed source – old corrugated containers. In other words, your old pizza box!

Greif is committed to sustainability and the circular economy. Locations like Florence, KY, are a big part of reducing waste and reducing reliance on virgin materials. It’s a cornerstone of Greif to use less virgin materials and produce products with recycled raw materials.
At the heart of a circular economy is a network of recyclers who make yesterday’s corrugated materials into tomorrow’s packaging. This facility is located at 7950 Dixie Highway, Florence, KY 41042. The recycling work here promotes a stronger community and a more robust supply chain.
Collecting and recovering paper-based fibers is a recycling success story. Greif is proud to be a net-positive recycler of paper products. That means we recycle and reuse more tons of paper products than our mills produce.
