AWARD-WINNING
The Paperboard Packaging Council is honored to be among this year’s winners of the 2020 ASAE Power of A Awards, the highest industry honors for associations. The TICCIT program earned a Gold award for its ability to strengthen our community and the world.
Created by members of the Paperboard Packaging Council in 2010, TICCIT (pronounced “ticket”) stands for trees into cartons, cartons into trees. TICCIT is an outreach and education program for school- aged children that highlights the renewability and sustainability of paper and paperboard packaging.
The TICCIT program teaches students that trees are a sustainable crop just like fruits and veggies, highlights the many uses for trees and paperboard packaging, and underscores the importance of recycling. TICCIT supports industry growth, debunks myths about sustainability, increases employee engagement, and builds community. The program takes less than an hour, but the impact lasts a lifetime.
Through the power of Association, PPC transformed the idea of TICCIT into a widespread program that now reaches more than 40,000 individuals annually. A dedicated Board of Directors supported the investment in the program, enabling the launch of a brand-new website earlier this year (ticcit.info) in order to make the information more accessible to youth organizations and sponsors across the county.
