Corrugated packaging is recycled at the highest rate of any material. Estimates put the percentage of corrugated boxes that make it back into the production cycle at over 70%. Mills, producing linerboard and medium, utilize between 30 and 100% recycled fibers. The market for recycled fibers, in the form of old corrugated containers (OCC), fluctuates significantly and is currently at $100/Ton.
