He added that the company has helped grow the number of facilities that recycle cartons from 40 in 2002 to 170 globally.

He assured that the pact will focus on reducing the presence of UBC in landfill and other waste dumps by engaging in public awareness and supporting the targeted collection of UBC from the consuming public through various campaigns and initiatives in schools and communities.

Obagun noted that Onward was initially established in 1953 as a paper trading company before evolving into Onward Paper Mill Ltd., the first indigenous paper converter in 1972, producing exercise books and other quality paper products.

The company, he explained, continues to be at the forefront of paper conversion by investing in sustainable technology and innovation which has led to the partnership to recycle Used Beverage Cartons (UBC) for use as a base raw material in paper production.
