Why it matters
The paper & packaging context.
Paper & Packaging tracks major U.S. mills and converting facilities that turn fiber into recycled paper, containerboard, corrugated sheets and boxes, tissue, paperboard, cartons, and other paper-based packaging. These integrated plants connect recovered material, energy-intensive production equipment, and the packaging supply chains serving food, retail, manufacturing, and logistics.
