SCA Donates Wood Pallets to Help Heat Greenwich Public Works Building
Every day, SCA’s converting facility in Greenwich, NY, receives shipments of giant paper rolls for converting to SCA products, like napkins, towels and bath tissue. The rolls are supported by wood pallets to keep them stable inside the tractor trailer. Prior to the winter of 2015, once the materials were offloaded inside, the pallets went unused, sitting in an ever-growing pile outside the facility.

Responsible Production & Consumption

Alabama Tissue Site Uses Waste to Help Farmers Grow Crops
SCA in Barton, Alabama, has started to provide a soil improver made from its residual solids. Nearby farmers have begun using the substance to improve the soil quality for growing crops. It’s a win-win: farmers improve their crops and SCA sends less solids to landfill.

SCA Joins the Ellen MacArthur Foundation CE100 Program
