Partners to Make Building Materials from Food and Beverage CartonsPartners to Make Building Materials from Food and Beverage Cartons

The Carton Council, along with partners like Upcycling Group and Elof Hansson, plans to launch a facility in 2025 that will convert 9,000 tons of used food and beverage cartons annually into sustainable building materials, such as roof cover boards and interior wallboard. This project aims to reduce waste and carbon emissions by repurposing the fiber, polyethylene, and aluminum in cartons, while also addressing challenges like material supply and gaining wider adoption in the construction industry.
