The primary source for information
on paper-based packaging and the environment is a brochure first
published by PPEC in early 1994. This is updated and available at Strategis
Canada . It
covers why packaging exists; changes in packaging over time; the
paper fibre resource; what paper-based packaging is made from; types
of packaging; how packaging is made; where packaging is made;
Canadian shipments and imports; where packaging ends up; what PPEC's
doing; and a variety of facts and figures.
For more general information about
paper-based packaging (made from a renewable resource, high in
recycled content, widely recovered) you can view our Overview
