Did you know that the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) and Project Learning Tree (PLT), a program of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), are partnering to elevate packaging industry careers, promote sustainability in education, and expand outreach to middle and high school students?
Join SFI guest speakers, Rocco Saracina and Kate Nagle on Wednesday, August 28, 2025, at 12pm CDT for a virtual learning session designed to introduce ICPF stakeholders to our education and career pathways initiative: Thinking Outside the Box.
This interactive webinar will build understanding of current efforts to inspire the next generation of packaging innovators, engineers, and industry leaders. Familiarize yourself with the Thinking Outside the Box Activity Collection, which includes an array of resources that can be added to your toolbox as you engage in outreach efforts with students in your communities and build talent pipelines.
By participating, you will:
- Learn how ICPF and PLT are partnering to promote forest literacy and raise awareness of green careers in the corrugated packaging and manufacturing sectors.
- Explore PLT’s new Thinking Outside the Box activity collection and supporting career factsheets—developed with ICPF’s support.
- Take advantage of opportunities to build your network by inviting local educators into your corrugated packaging facility for PLT professional development workshops across AR, OH, GA, and PA—with future opportunities beyond those states.
- Equip your team with hands-on PLT activities to use at youth and community engagement events—connecting your work to green careers and sustainability to excite the next generation about the corrugated packaging industry.
- Draw connections between your role, PLT education content, and the broader field of green innovation in the corrugated packaging industry.
This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Register today to attend ICPF’s Webinar on August 28 at 12:00 p.m. CDT.
