Pratt Industries USA has four 100% recycled board mills; in Conyers, Georgia; Staten Island, New York; Valparaiso, Indiana, and Shreveport, Louisiana. They stay busy cranking out medium and linerboard to feed the company's 60-plus converting and box making plants now operating in more than 25 US states and in Mexico. But in all the company's operations, there are no blue-collar employees. Instead, Chairman Anthony Pratt insists that all Pratt people have green-collar jobs. This is in keeping with the company's understanding that it is not merely a board-and-box manufacturer; it is a recycling company.
