Luettgen, chris tree plantingTAPPI, TREES Atlanta, RockTenn, Valmet and members of the Dekalb County community teamed up on February 27 to plant 100 trees in Decatur. The trees represent the 100 years that TAPPI members in the global pulp, paper and packaging industries have worked to sustain parks and forests.
RBI Associate Director Chris Luettgen joined more than 40 volunteers who worked together to plant the trees on Ponce de Leon Avenue, between Scott Boulevard and Sam’s Crossing. RockTenn, Valmet and other individual and corporate sponsors donated a total of $10,000 to provide the trees and other materials for the event.
To help celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2015, TAPPI initiated the event to increase awareness of how the pulp, paper, packaging, tissue and related industries help sustain well-managed forests. Based in Peachtree Corners, Ga., TAPPI is the leading association for the technical advancement of the pulp, paper, packaging and related industries. Its members include researchers and scientists at many Atlanta companies and organizations, including RockTenn.
