TekniPlex delivers freight savings equal to 71 ACRES of forest in 2020
TekniPlex minimizes freight and energy consumption through strategically placed stock, fewer rushed and partial shipments, and continuous improvement efforts.
In one year, TekniPlex is able to save 93,000 CUBIC YARDS of landfill space
For each ton of recycled material used to make our pulp products, we save three cubic yards of landfill space – the equivalent of a 25-story building.
TekniPlex saves nearly 217 million gallons of water each year
We use 7,000 gallons less water for each ton of recycled material we process instead of virgin pulp.
TekniPlex saves enough energy to heat and power 15,000 homes per year
We save about 4,100 kilowatt hours of energy for every ton of recycled paper we process instead of virgin pulp.
