Paper & Cardboard

Paper and cardboard products are produced from tree fibres and represent a large part of the overall waste stream. Most cardboard is produced from recycled paper and it can be recycled many times over.

If your business generates a lot of cardboard and paper waste, invest in a dedicated recycling bin to maximise landfill diversion. It’s good for the planet, it saves money on conventional waste disposal and gives unwanted materials a chance to be useful again.

Repurposing recycled paper

As long as your cardboard and paper aren’t wet or tainted with food or grease, they can be recycled. When you recycle your paper and cardboard waste, it’s turned into new paper and cardboard products such as packaging, industrial paper, newspapers, kitty litter and cartons for eggs and fruit. Clean, dry and uncontaminated cardboard results in a higher quality of recyclable material, maximising resale and recycling values.
