RockTenn recently released its inaugural corporate sustainability report, which affirms the company’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, and outlines its 2020 sustainability goals.

“RockTenn has been producing paper-based packaging from recycled materials since our founding in 1936,” said Jim Rubright, chairman and CEO of RockTenn. “Our core business activities were founded on recycling products that create economic value by reusing materials otherwise bound for waste streams.”

RockTenn’s 2020 sustainability goals include: reduce energy use by 10%; reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10%; reduce water use by 12%; reduce solid waste by 15%; achieve chain-of-custody certifications for 100% of facilities; improve employee safety by 30%.
