The Carton Council is a collaborative initiative of carton manufacturers working to increase the recycling of food and beverage cartons in the United States. They provide schools and communities with educational resources, infrastructure support, and partnerships to expand access to carton recycling programs. Their work helps reduce landfill waste while promoting sustainable materials management and environmental awareness. 

The Douglas County School District recommends the Carton Council because it makes recycling tangible for both teachers and students with ready-to-use, standards-aligned resources. It connects classroom learning to real action by supporting recycling programs in schools, while helping students see how their choices impact their community and turning awareness into lasting behavior change.
