The production of new cardboard has twice as much sulphur dioxide as recycling cardboard. The good news is, the United Kingdom recycles more cardboard than any other packaging material. This allows cardboard recycling to divert almost 2 million tonnes of cardboard waste from landfill each year.

It cannot be overstated how important cardboard recycling is. In addition to delivering items to customers and businesses, cardboard is used for many other purposes. Several types of cardboard boxes are used in warehouses and shipping industries. Most businesses in today’s world recycle cardboard. By doing so, they can save money on waste removal and disposal. Here are some of the reasons why recycling cardboard is:

• Ensures the preservation of our valuable natural resources.
• Ensures that potentially usable materials are not thrown away.
• Avoids the harmful process of mining or harvesting new virgin resources, which is harmful to the environment.
• Collection, separation, and treatment of recyclables generates jobs.
• Reduces the amount of garbage discarded at landfill sites, hence lowering the negative health, safety, and environmental consequences of landfill waste disposal.

Cardboard Waste Recycling Process

Cardboard recycling is a simple and straightforward technique. It’s not even close to rocket science. It is not necessary for you to do it yourself. All you have to do is call us and we will come collect  the cardboard and transport it to a recycling facility, where it will be processed into new paper or cardboard products.

It’s critical that we develop the practice of recycling cardboard. Rather than tossing your used cardboard in the trash, have it recycled.  When the cardboard arrives at the recycling center, they are separated into different categories based on the materials they are composed of. After sorting, the next process is shredding, which is followed by pulping. The cardboard paper fibers are broken down into minute fragments by shredding. After the material has been finely shredded into small pieces, it is combined with water and chemicals to break down the paper fibers, resulting in a slurry.

The pulp is next filtered thoroughly to remove any foreign elements as well as contaminants such as threads, tape, or glue.

The pulp is next passed through a centrifuge-like chamber where impurities such as plastics and metal staples are removed. Plastics float to the top, whereas heavy metal staples sink to the bottom and are then removed.

After being cleaned, the pulp is mixed with new production materials and dried on a flat conveyor belt and heated cylindrical surfaces.

As the pulp dries, it passes through an automated machine that squeezes out excess water and aids in the development of long rolls of solid sheet from the fibres known as linerboards and mediums. To build a new piece of cardboard, the linerboards are bonded together layer by layer.
