Georgia-Pacific Recycling

What Georgia-Pacific Recycling does

Georgia-Pacific Recycling is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific (itself a Koch Industries business) that operates as a global merchant trader of recyclable commodities — fiber (paper and cardboard), rolls (wood-fiber-based material for converting and repulping), metals, and plastics (post-consumer and post-industrial). The unit connects material suppliers with industrial customers such as paper mills and converters, generating revenue through transactional spreads and supply-chain services on material movements, with pricing determined market by market. The business is backed by an owned transportation network, strategically located plants, and a regionalized trading force that links local market expertise to worldwide supply and demand. Across the offering, GP Recycling does not own landfills and emphasizes routing materials through vetted downstream recyclers as part of its environmental stewardship positioning.

On top of the physical trading operations, GP Recycling has built a platform-centric layer. GPR 365 Connect is a partner-facing portal that provides 24/7 load tracking, centralized pricing and documentation, and integrated messaging with GP Recycling contacts. hubbIT is a self-serve online platform targeted at new suppliers, offering real-time pricing on 50 grades of recyclable paper, metal and plastic and simplifying selling, payment, and pickup logistics. The two platforms together function as the digital front end of the trading business and serve as the main on-ramp for both new suppliers and existing institutional partners.

The go-to-market model is B2B sales-led, executed through direct relationships and a regionalized trading force that handles contract negotiations and large-volume supply agreements. Digital channels — the corporate website, the LinkedIn showcase, hubbIT and GPR 365 Connect — provide self-service and brand presence, while industry events such as the Green Sports Alliance Summit are used to develop new verticals (notably major sports and entertainment venues seeking closed-loop sustainability solutions). No information on pricing models beyond unit (per-grade) pricing and pay-as-you-go billing was disclosed, and customer logos were not provided.
