This represents another important step towards the potential combination and we continue to work through the regulatory approvals required to complete the transaction.

State Policy Win🎉: The California legislature has passed a bill mandating paper bags as the exclusive option at grocery store checkouts across the state. Governor Gavin Newsom signed this legislation into law earlier this month, marking a significant step towards sustainability and waste reduction. This new law will grow the IP’s Kraft paper bag demand in California and positively impact the business.

Thanks to State Senator Catherine Blakespear and Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan for your leadership.
