Containerboard during COVID-19: What’s happening in Canada?
Our first episode features an interview with Allen Kirkpatrick, executive director for the Canadian Corrugated & Containerboard Association (CCCA). Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the CCCA has lobbied the government to acknowledge the cardboard packaging supply chain as an essential service, and connected its members with information on safety protocols and operating procedures.
In the interview, Kirkpatrick details how the containerboard industry has been affected by the pandemic and how they’re handling santization of their products and facilities. He also discusses new technologies converters and roll-stock producers should be aware of, and how the pulp and paper industry can bring more public awareness to Canada’s use of recycled fibre.
“I think maybe the pandemic will heighten that [producers] need to help customers understand why they have selected corrugated cardboard packaging,” he says in the interview.
“We have over 12,000 employees across the country. It’s time for them to realize that by the world telling us we’re essential to the essential – well, [let’s] help people understand why.”
Hear more from Allen Kirkpatrick by tuning into our podcast the week of June 8, 2020.
