21 Nov 2023 --- Clearwater Paper is partnering with Charter Next Generation (CNG) for an early-to-market initiative to include advanced recycled PE in Clearwater Paper’s private label tissue packaging offerings. Advanced recycling includes difficult-to-recycle waste plastics converted into new plastics that perform like virgin materials. The material purchase in place of traditional resins helps to give new life to plastics that would otherwise be landfilled. “CNG is providing a competitive edge and is leading the way in transforming waste plastics into useful products. This advancement is critical to our success in meeting and exceeding sustainability goals for Clearwater Paper,” says Mike Urlick, senior vice president and general manager for Consumer Products at Clearwater Paper.
