TICCIT (pronounced “ticket,” which stands for “Trees into Cartons, Cartons into Trees”) is an outreach and educational program for school-aged children held every year at the end of April to honor Earth Day and highlight the renewability and sustainability of paper and paperboard packaging. In the TICCIT program, member companies partner with a local school where they donate tree seeds or native saplings and teach students how to plant them in a plant in a milk carton, tissue box, or other paper-based carton. The students are then instructed to plan these "carton-and-tree units" in the ground. The cartons provide protection and a natural water funnel for the new trees. As the trees grow, the cartons biodegrade, completing the "trees into cartons, cartons into trees" cycle.
