Global Green USA is the American Chapter of the international Green Cross organization. Headquartered in Santa Monica, Global Green’s Coalition for Resource Recycling in New York City is working across the country through retailers, wholesalers, farmers, poultry growers, and other packers to test and adopt readily repulpable, recyclable, and compostable “renewable resource” based alternatives to nonrecyclable paraffin wax coatings used on corrugated boxes exposed to high humidities, direct water flows, or iced packing. These paraffin wax alternatives are now in commercial use by over half of the “wet box” manufacturers in the USA, and are saving energy and money owing to higher performance values and lower costs. These alternative coatings have been tested by major universities and are certified as recyclable by tests authorized by the Fibre Box Association, representing over 90% of the corrugated box manufacturers in North America.
