Environmental Stewardship
Green Bay Operations is committed to 100 percent compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state and local government guidelines for the protection of air and water quality and human health.
Our facilities belong to the Pollution Prevention Partnership between the Wisconsin Paper Council and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
We are committed to protecting the health of our employees, our community and our environment. We believe environmental solutions need to be protective of human health and the environment, as well as technically and economically feasible.
We have been recycling wastepaper fibers to make products since the late 1930s. We are one of the largest wastepaper recyclers in North America. Because our recycling stream included carbonless paper with PCBs, we are one of six companies involved in a major cleanup of the Fox River (see www.gpgreenbay.com).
