Founded by Roger R. Elston after his dairy-farming years, Syracuse Fiber Recycling turns paper-mill waste fiber into dairy cow bedding at its Syracuse, New York operation. The family-owned company returned to family operation in 2012 and now processes about 1,500 tons of fiber each week, supplying more than 70 farms across four states. Its work gives paper-mill residue a productive use while providing dairy farms with a recycled bedding material.

FiberCore LLCFiberCore LLC makes recycled-paper bedding and packing materials, including its 99% dust-free Eco-Bedding for small animals and birds. The Cleveland company traces the product line to the early 1990s, when Eco-Pak was developed as an environmentally friendly substitute for Styrofoam peanuts before finding a second life as animal bedding. FiberCore also produces Agro-Pak, a paper-based material that keeps bare-root plants moist during shipment and can be planted with them.CLEVELAND, OH
