The Paper Recycling Coalition, Inc. represents the interests of the 100% recycled paperboard and containerboard industries. As a net negative emitter of carbon dioxide CO2e, this industry is a leader in sustainability. For every ton of 100% recycled paperboard produced, 3.17 tons of CO2e are avoided. The Coalition consists of eight companies with 62,000 employees in facilities located in 45 states. The Mission of the Paper Recycling Coalition is to protect the U.S. recovered fiber supply from market distorting government subsidies and costly government regulations.The goal of the PRC is to ensure that government policies and programs do not thwart the continued expansion of the domestic recovered fiber supply. Recovered fiber markets are complex, efficient, and dynamic and not enhanced by regulations or other approaches to specify the use of recycled fibers or dictate what type of recovered fiber is used in products. The markets are also even more disrupted if the government creates incentives for alternative uses of recovered fiber.Since 1990, The Paper Recycling Coalition has educated policy leaders, legislators, regulators, and others about the 100% recycled paper industry. We meet regularly with Members of Congress and their staff as well as government agency staff. We work closely with environmental groups and other industry organizations to advise them of our industry’s interests and concerns. We conduct tours of recycled paper facilities to give regulators, legislators, and the media a close-up view of our operations. We also testify before Congress and regulatory agencies on issues of importance to our industry.More paper and paperboard is recovered for recycling than any other packaging material. Additionally, the industry continues to explore ways to increase the recovery rate through advocacy and outreach programs encouraging consumers to recycle paper and paperboard packaging. Paper can be recycled up to seven times!

Terese has been involved with RPA-100% since it's inception twenty years ago when the 100% recycled paperboard industry realized the ubiquitous chasing arrows symbol it had developed was lost to the public domain. Today she administers the program as Secretary/Treasurer to ensure that the marketing program to support the symbol continues to provide value to licensees and convey useful information to consumers. She is proud of the fact that the symbol appears on 10 billion boxes a year and is fast becoming as ubiquitous as the original chasing arrows.
