Frequently Asked Questions About Greif Recycling Green Bay
What is OCC? What does it stand for, and what is it?
OCC stands for Old Corrugated Container. It's an industry term for cardboard that is collected for the repulping process. OCC is the basis or raw material used in the creation of most new paper and cardboard.
You are a recycler, but what do you recycle and what do you reject?
At Greif, we operate 18 recycling facilities located across the U.S., where we provide industrial and commercial collection and recycling services, primarily focused on paper – or fiber-recovery. https://www.greif.com/what-we-recycle-and-what-we-dont/#what-we-recycle
What kind of recycling do you do, and what sets you apart from the others?
As a commercial and industrial recycling partner, recycling at Greif is different from consumer-facing recycling in that we are more focused on specific substrates – fiber, plastics, metal, etc. than individual products.
How does recycling cardboard help the environment, and where do I recycle cardboard?
Recycling cardboard helps the environment by reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills, as well as reducing the amount of resources needed to make new cardboard products. You can recycle cardboard at many locations, including local recycling centers like the Greif location listed here and curbside collection programs.
What happens when cardboard is recycled, and is cardboard recycling worth it?
When cardboard is recycled, it is first collected and sorted by recyclers. It is then broken down into small pieces and pulped, which turns it into a slurry that is then used to create new cardboard products. The process of recycling cardboard can be energy-intensive, but it is definitely worth it since it can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Additionally, it can help reduce the amount of natural resources needed to make new cardboard products.
