Distribution Center To Use Only Recyclable Packaging

摘要

Global Green USA announced its plan to substitute all nonrecyclable transfer packaging distributed from Hunt's Point Distribution Center located in New York City, the largest food distribution center in the world, with recyclable packaging. If successful, the program would divert 30,000 tons/year of corrugated from the landfill. The launch of the program included an announcement by Global Green USA's Coalition for Resource Recovery's Founder's Circle member Interstate Container, and its business partner, Mountaire, to conduct field trials on boxes used to ship poultry through wholesale channels. According to Pete Bugas, National Account Manager, Interstate Container, "Interstate Container began working on recyclable packaging in 2003 because we were committed to making a sustainable package and foresaw that this also would be increasingly important to our customers."
