Sustainability
Bringing fiber products full circle with sustainable innovation
We believe in responsible manufacturing and being good stewards of the valuable resources that benefit people, drive the economy and belong to everyone. Stewardship is about keeping materials out of landfills and toxins out of the air; using only what we need as efficiently as we can. We apply that principle to every point in the sustainability journey – from day-to-day operations to strategic direction setting.
Circular Economy
The circular economy is built on the notion that the life cycles of materials and resources that have already served a purpose for end users can be preserved and extended.

1M
Every year Sustana Fiber recycles enough paper to reduce landfill space by over 1 million cubic yards.
Going Zero Waste
Transforming recycled paper into quality fiber is our business
The resources we use are precious – for us, and for future generations. Transforming recycled paper into high-quality products is the essence of our business, and we speak to that mission with our ongoing efforts to reduce the amount of by-products we generate, recovered paper and alternative fibers from as many sources as we can, reuse whenever possible, recycle, and properly dispose of materials and end-of-life products. We’ve made great strides in recent years by diverting as much recovered fiber as possible for landfarming, an end-of-life treatment process that tills the fiber into soil as a supplement.
750M
Sustana Fiber facilities process 2.2 million pounds of recycled paper every day. That equates to 750 million pounds per year.
Transparency by the Numbers
Life Cycle Assessment
An LCA is a systems-based quantitative method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product, from raw material extraction and processing, to manufacturing, distribution and disposal.
Our commitment to protecting the environment is part of everything we do. We believe the environment is an integral part of the fiber manufacturing process. Like you, we care.
