Recycling
From the manufacturing floor to the high-rise, from homes to schools and everywhere in between, Americans have embraced recycling. And companies like Weyerhaeuser are leading the way in serving and expanding this essential industry.
Weyerhaeuser Company is one of North America's largest recyclers of recovered office paper, newspapers, and corrugated boxes. With 19 recycling facilities across the United States, nine Weyerhaeuser containerboard mills, and a significant national brokerage system, the company collects, consumes, and markets more than 6 million tons of recovered paper annually. We collect and process this recovered paper at our own plants as well as buy paper from outside sources. The recovered paper is then used by our mills to create new paper products or is sold to other manufacturers in the United States or abroad.
Weyerhaeuser Recycling is a full-service, worldwide business, encompassing three primary areas:
- Collection, sorting, and processing of paper from schools, offices, printers, retailers, and manufacturers
- Purchase of paper from outside sources for use by Weyerhaeuser's nine containerboard mills to create new paper products with recycled content
- Sale of recovered paper to outside manufacturers for use in creating new paper products
As leaders in the recycling industry, our employees are widely known for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. Because of their efforts, Weyerhaeuser is recognized internationally for the consistent purchase and supply of quality recycling products and services.
