How is Cardboard Recycled?

A Simple Process for a Sustainable Future

Cardboard recycling is a straightforward process that plays a significant role in reducing waste and conserving resources. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:

Collecting and Sorting: Cardboard is collected from households and businesses. It’s then sorted to remove contaminants like plastic, metal, and food waste.

Pulping: The sorted cardboard is shredded and mixed with water to create a pulp.

Cleaning: The pulp is cleaned to remove any remaining impurities.

Papermaking: The cleaned pulp is pressed and dried to form new paper sheets.

Cardboard Production: The paper sheets are layered and pressed to create new cardboard.

Can All Cardboard Be Recycled?

Not all cardboard can be recycled. To ensure your cardboard is recyclable, follow these tips:

Clean Cardboard: Remove any food or liquid residue.

Flattened Cardboard: Flatten boxes to save space.

No Plastic or Foil: Avoid cardboard with plastic coatings or foil linings.

What Counts as Cardboard Waste?

Cardboard waste encompasses any discarded or unwanted cardboard material that has been used for packaging, storage, or other purposes. It includes items such as:

Cardboard boxes – from shipping, deliveries, or retail products.

Cardboard packaging – such as food containers, take-out boxes, and product packaging.

Corrugated cardboard – which is thicker, used for shipping and protecting fragile items.

Cardboard waste can be recycled, and when properly disposed of, it can be turned into new products like packaging, paper products, or even insulation materials. Reducing cardboard waste and recycling it helps minimize environmental impact by reducing landfill waste and conserving resources.
