Follow on Google News | W. H. Leary Celebrates Earth Day with Local SchoolBy: W. H. Leary Chris Leary, Director of Sales & Service, along with other Leary employees, presented the benefits of recycling, describing how paper is made, and explaining the many reasons why trees are so important to the environment - and all of us. The students were also introduced to the world of packaging and folding cartons. The students had fun transporting a Colorado Blue Spruce sapling into biodegradable milk cartons, which they collected over the past school week, and will then bring the saplings home to plant in their own yards. Kevin Leary, CEO / President of W. H. Leary, explained “TICCIT week is part of a larger initiative in the paper converting industry to educate students about the recyclability of paper products and the fact that they are more sustainable in our environment than plastic alternatives. Across the paperboard industry we’re seeing a shift towards increasing sustainability and waste reduction efforts. Educating the community about the importance of choosing paperboard packaged products, because they are a made from a uniquely renewable resource, is just one way companies in the industry are giving back.” W. H. Leary is a member of the Paperboard Packaging Council and proud to be an advocate for sustainability in the packaging industry. For over three decades the company has helped reduce waste at their customer’s packaging facilities by providing a wide variety of quality assurance solutions to the folding carton and corrugated markets.
