In addition to the partnership with Boeing South Carolina on this project, Sonoco Recycling also partners with other suppliers such as Carolina Waste Services, to implement a comprehensive recycling program with point-of-use containers, as well as recycling centers located across the Boeing site.
Sonoco Recycling said food scraps also are collected in cafeterias and break rooms for composting.
Items that cannot be reused, such as larger packaging materials, are removed from the site by Sonoco Recycling for repurposing or recycling.
