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!
Recycling in San Jose, CA
Greif offers the Bay Area a convenient source for cardboard recovery and recycling. Based in San Jose, CA, this location takes yesterday’s pizza box and repositions it for the Greif mill network. There it goes through the repulping process to become a new sheet of paper.
The address of this facility is 388 East Alma Ave. San Jose, CA 95112 United States.

At Greif, we collect all forms of paper and select plastics in the U.S.
Globally, we collect metal and plastics, with a strong emphasis on recycling and reconditioning IBCs and steel drums for reuse.
