We’re all in this together.
We all want the same things: to reduce waste, protect renewable resources and use energy efficiently. Georgia-Pacific is one of the world’s largest producers of paper products and dispensing systems, and we take our commitment to the environment very seriously.
Our responsibility, however, doesn’t end with our own manufacturing processes. We also help you make a difference for the planet and your customers with products made with recycled content, environmentally sound packaging and waste reduction dispensing systems.

Products with Georgia-Pacific’s environmental seals meet our criteria for environmental friendliness and support the Environmental Protection Agency’s Reduce, Reuse and Recycle strategies.
Reduce
Reducing waste has an immediate effect on the environment. Georgia-Pacific is the number one producer of dispensing systems such as Cormatic®, EasyNap® and enMotion® that reduce usage and waste by encouraging users to take just the paper they need.
Reuse
Reuse means finding alternative ways to use byproducts. Georgia-Pacific is known for reusing papermaking byproducts for production and packaging. Our mill byproducts are also used to make grass grow, build roads and provide foundations for highways.
Recycle
Recycling is vital to the planet’s health. Georgia-Pacific’s reclaimed paper production generates less pollution than virgin paper production and fibers can be reused for repeated environmental savings. More than 200 of our away-from-home products contain or are made from recycled fiber.
We also are committed to reaching for the highest standards in the following:
LEED® Certification
Georgia-Pacific Professional products can help you qualify for LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. This nationally recognized designation by the U.S. Green Building Council affirms a building is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work.
Sustainable Forestry and Environmental Monitoring
Though no longer a timberland owner, Georgia-Pacific renews its commitment to sustainable forestry daily through responsible wood procurement practices, compliance with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® standard and support of state forestry and regional landowner associations.
Environmental Reporting
Georgia-Pacific’s environmental reporting is closely aligned to the Global Reporting Initiative. This international network develops globally acceptable guidelines for reporting on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of an organization's activities, products and services..
