RockTenn, Norcross, Ga., USA, reports that all of its CRB (coated recycled board) mills have achieved certification under the 100% Recycled Paperboard Alliance's (RPA-100%) newly launched certification program (see article above in this section of Over the Wire). Audits of the RockTenn facilities were completed last month (December 2013), and the company’s certified CRB has been available since January 1.

"As a founding member of the RPA-100% and a long-term manufacturer of 100% recycled paperboard, RockTenn fully supports the new certification program and is proud to announce that our CRB mills have successfully completed the third-party audits required to achieve certification," said Michael E. Kiepura, president, Consumer Packaging and Recycling, RockTenn, and chairman of the RPA-100%. "With this new certified designation, our customers and consumers will have an even higher level of confidence that their packaging made from RockTenn coated recycled paperboard contains only 100% recovered fiber," Kiepura added.
