RockTenn Recycling

§  RockTenn is not a landfill based company, it is a recycler and paper mill operator with a focus on reducing waste costs and protecting natural resources through recycling, landfill diversion and new technologies helping forward-thinking sustainable organizations.

company with need for internal fiber consumption. §  RockTenn is one of the largest fiber recyclers in the United States consuming over 4

million tons internally every year. §  RockTenn aligns itself with customer objectives to recycle more, landfill less and

reduce its customer’s organization’s overall waste related expense.

Opportunities within State

§  All four recycling facilities located in Tennessee are not currently functioning at full capacity so there is opportunity for additional materials to move through them.

§  Additional materials would provide an opportunity for revenue. §  If more materials move through the plants, lines would run longer or create shifts which would add

jobs within the state.
