OUR MISSION
The Paper and Packaging Board creates preference for paper and paper-based packaging by reinforcing why paper is an everyday, earth-friendly choice that allows consumers to feel good about their purchase decisions.
U.S. manufacturers and importers of these products collectively fund the board’s efforts including the goals of the How Life Unfolds® campaign.
Our characters bring the campaign to life.
Our brand ambassadors Casey and Page help tell the story of paper and packaging, reinforcing memorable truths about the impact of paper and packaging - on our careers, in our lives and for our planet.
Go Papertarian—Creating a Sustainable Movement
We coined the phrase papertarian lifestyle to describe consumers who make small choices to use paper every day, knowing they have a big impact on the environment. From choosing products made of paper and packaging to practicing proper recycling, there are endless opportunities to be a papertarian. Learn more about making smart choices for the planet.

CHECKOFF PROGRAM RESEARCH
2015-2018 Econometric Report
Under the most recent enacted Farm Bill, all federally authorized checkoff programs are required to have an independent economic evaluation of their overall effectiveness conducted at least once every five years. With almost $1 billion spent on checkoff programs each year by U.S. farms and firms, the government wants stakeholders to have independent information on the effectiveness of these programs.
The independent evaluation is carried out by Dr. Harry M. Kaiser, the Gellert Family Professor of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.
