Consumers' focus on sustainability, convenience and healthy lifestyles has placed new demands on manufacturers and the packaging they develop.

Our nation's schools send 5 billion milk and juice cartons to landfills each year. Clearly, there is work to be done. Your company can specify cartons made of paperboard, and you can get involved in your child’s school recycling efforts.

Packaging suppliers offer easy-to-open packages made of recyclable materials.

Besides producing recyclable cartons and wraps, dairy processors use compostable materials. Even edible packaging is possible.
