TREE PLANTING
UZIN UTZ North America has partnered with the National Forest Foundation (NFF) to plant trees that match the number consumed to make our boxes.
1 tree = 150 boxes = 900 ft2 corrugated cardboard
2022 Usage:
396,777 boxes = 2,429,786 sqft =
2,700 trees to be planted
2021 Usage:
353,240 boxes = 2,108,046 sqft =
2,342 trees to be planted
2020 usage:
407,432 boxes = 2,449,973 sq.ft. =
2,722 trees to be planted
We will conduct a yearly review of corrugated box usage in order to continue the planting of trees.
