Inside the CIRCLE Act’s bipartisan recycling balancing act

Beyond Board is a set of services designed to address the evolving needs of Stora Enso’s customers in the packaging industry. The portfolio focuses on sustainability services, and spans from trainings and regulatory support to circularity assessment and LCA services. The sustainability training aims to build a foundation of sustainability knowledge throughout organisations, including sales, sourcing and product management. While these teams are experts in their products, they can benefit significantly from guidance on topics like forestry and fibers, circularity, recyclability and impact on the climate. As sustainability becomes increasingly vital in decision-making, this training provides valuable knowledge for our customers.

On Friday, November 3 (November 4 in the print edition), the Wall Street Journal published an article titled Citi to Cardholders: Go Paperless or Else about Citigroup’s decision to cut off all online and app communications with their customers who refuse to go paperless. Two Sides North America sent the following letter to the editors of the WSJ the same day. Citigroup’s Paperless Mistake: Recent survey data validates the backlash shown on the WSJ website in response to Citigroup’s decision to cut off all electronic communications to consumers who refuse to go paperless. Commissioned by Two Sides North America and conducted by international research firm Toluna, the survey showed that 81% of Americans, including more than half of 18- to 24-year-olds, believe they should have the right to choose between paper and electronic communications from their banks and other service providers, and 73% believe they should not be charged extra for receiving a paper bill or statement. 46% of consumers said they would consider switching to an alternate provider if their current one forced them to go paperless, up from 41% in 2021.
