Access to markets
WestRock Recycling's access to diverse markets – the result of leveraging our size, footprint and network – allows us to negotiate favorable, competitive pricing.
Your financial goals. Your sustainability goals. Each complements the other.
The two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, WestRock believes they should be mutually beneficial. As one of the largest integrated recyclers — and one of the few who has a hand in every step of the process — we have the experience, expertise and broad solution portfolio to help you achieve your goals.
What goes around comes around - the WestRock Recycling Process
As an integral part to the entire life cycle of your material, WestRock brings a level of fiber expertise to the process that few companies can match.
- We collect or accept materials for recycling.
- We process and recycle the fiber (fiber can be recycled 5-7 times).
- We put that fiber back into the manufacturing process (half of it goes to our own mills).
- We also provide virgin fiber for the process.
- We make new boxes and other material.
- This material goes back into the marketplace.
- We re-collect the used material.
- And the process starts over.
