Georgia-Pacific Hits Production Milestone

Georgia-Pacific LLC, parent company of GP PRO, announced the company recently manufactured its 1 billionth EarthKraft™ recyclable padded mailer.

First launched in 2020, the mailer was developed based on feedback from Georgia-Pacific’s key clients, like Amazon, who wanted a sustainable alternative to plastic mailers. The EarthKraft mailers are made from 100% legally and responsibly sourced wood fiber and are designed to protect items against damage during transit, reducing the carbon impact that results from needing to replace and reship items.

“I’m excited that the EarthKraft™ mailer meets the needs of our customers and end consumers, and that 1 billion fully recyclable mailers have been produced,” said Adam Ganz, Georgia-Pacific vice president of eCommerce packaging. “Creating an innovative and sustainable product that makes it easier for consumers to recycle their e-commerce packaging, and growing to 1 billion this quickly, is a monumental achievement for our team.”
