Georgia Pacific Waste Stream Monetization
Georgia Pacific is a one of the world’s largest pulp and paper manufacturers. Paramount to Georgia Pacific’s Sustainability Strategy was the innovation of its waste stream reduction processes in key facilities. It was determined that significant waste streams could be diverted from landfill and converted to waste streams with minimal intermediary processing. This process modification reduced reputational risk, reduced costs, increased community engagement and reduced social risk to operate in key areas. metavû also assisted Georgia Pacific in the formulation of its sustainability story and critical aspects of cost reductions for the facilities undergoing the waste stream monetization process.
