Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific’s Harmon Recycling will change its name to Georgia-Pacific Recycling. According to a Georgia-Pacific news release, the change more directly reflects that “the recycling business is an integrated part of a large, stable and respected organization.”
Georgia-Pacific Recycling, headquartered in Jericho, New York, operates six recycling centers in the U.S. The business was acquired by Georgia-Pacific in 2000 and until now has operated under the Harmon name.
“While the Harmon name is well-known in the marketplace, more formally adopting the Georgia-Pacific name reflects that we are committed to being a preferred partner in the recyclable commodity industry,” says Marc Forman, president of Georgia-Pacific Recycling. “To say that the recycling industry is experiencing a lot of change is an understatement. Our new name reflects that we are a stable company with a commitment to innovative solutions.”
With nearly 50 years of experience in the recycling industry, the team helps customers reduce their waste stream and maximize recyclables, according to a Georgia-Pacific news release. In addition to supplying wastepaper to Georgia-Pacific tissue and containerboard mills, Georgia-Pacific Recycling is a global marketer of recyclable materials. It sells more than 6 million tons of paper and 450 million pounds of plastics annually.
According to a Georgia-Pacific news release, the business is now using the new Georgia-Pacific Recycling name, but some official documents will reflect the GP Harmon Recycling name until the transition is complete later in 2019.
