Safety First
RPTA and its members are dedicated to making the recycled paperboard industry safe — for its employees, customers, and suppliers. One way we do this is to exchange information about new practices and products that help promote safe work environments.
These products and practices have proven effective at RPTA member mills in supporting safety. RPTA does not endorse these products; information about them is provided as a help to our members and others interested in safety issue.
