The Carton Council of North America has appointed Lena Zodda as vice president of sustainability and school recycling.
Zodda joins the Carton Council from Pactiv Evergreen, where she serves as the director of sustainability. As supply chains and recycling markets continue to be under pressure, her 22 years of experience working in the paper and packaging industry promoting the recyclability of other paper-based packaging will be valuable in helping drive the Carton Council’s goals.
In addition to bringing her expertise and relationships to all facets of the Carton Council efforts, Zodda’s role will also focus on strengthening school carton recycling programs across the country. More than four billion milk and beverage cartons are consumed in schools each year with the average U.S. school of 545 students consuming around 75,000 cartons each year. There are approximately 11,000 carton recycling programs operating in schools across the country, leaving opportunity for further expansion.
