Net-Zero Water Validation Achieved by Green Bay Packaging
GREEN BAY, WI, February 22, 2022 – Green Bay Packaging announced today that the Green Bay mill achieved Net-Zero Water in its production of 100% recycled containerboard paper, the first-ever UL with validation of this environmental claim. Water is a vital community resource and Green Bay Packaging is committed to industry leading sustainable water use.
¡°Environmental sustainability has always been at the core of Green Bay Packaging¡¯s values. Our goal is to operate the most environmentally friendly mill system in the United States, with water quality in our communities a primary focus,¡± says Green Bay Packaging President and CEO, William Kress.
The Net-Zero Water system at the Green Bay mill reduces water demand through use of reclaimed water and alternative water sources, offsetting the need for freshwater consumption. The goal in achieving ¡°net-zero water¡± is to transform a water-intense process into a more efficient process, returning more water to the water source than has been removed.
¡°Green Bay Packaging has been a strong stakeholder in developing a rigorous procedure for assessing site water balance,¡± said William Hoffman, research scientist in UL¡¯s Retail and Consumer Products group. ¡°By achieving Net-Zero Water Use based on the UL Environmental Claim Validation Procedure, Green Bay Packaging has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability and preserving water resources for future use. ¡°
UL, the global safety leader, established the first industrial global standard of its kind with the UL 1397, Environment Validation Claim Procedure for Net-Zero Water, published January 27, 2022. Green Bay Packaging¡¯s implemented water-use strategy to minimize the impact of water use on the watershed and increase water resiliency, parallels the net-zero concept.
¡°The net-zero water system is an investment in water technology that benefits community water resources while providing sustainable product innovation for our packaging customers and consumers. Establishing a reclaimed water loop with the local municipal wastewater utility is an integral circular economy innovation into our papermaking process,¡± says Green Bay Packaging¡¯s Director of Environment and Sustainability, Lisa Bauer-Lotto.
The US EPA considers circularity of net-zero water a green infrastructure with significant potential. Green Bay Packaging took the first steps in water consumption conservation in 1963 and became a pioneer in ¡®closing-the-loop¡¯. This led to a fully closed water system as a semi-chemical pulping mill in 1972. The closed-loop water system was rebuilt when the mill converted to a 100% recycled paper production in 1992. The Green Bay Packaging legacy of water stewardship continues with the new Green Bay mill that began production in 2021 with its first-of-a-kind, circular reclaim water systems that reduce the amount of water use per ton of paper production and fosters a net-zero water system.
