Cardboard is heavy-duty paper commonly used for packing materials. Cardboard is older than most people realise. It was first used in China during the 15th century. Cardboard can be a single sheet but also in different corrugated forms with flat surfaces, with flat faces around the S-shaped flutes.
Cardboard recycling has become more popular, and cardboard is one of the most recycled materials because it contains a higher percentage of recycled fibre.
Cardboard is acommonly recycled material because the fibre it is made from has already undergone processing.
Burning any waste can only be a good alternative if it produces fuel. Burning cardboard does not produce efficient fuel but releases gases and contaminants into the environment. Local authorities have laws and regulations concerning smokeless fuels, and burning cardboard doesn’t meet the regulations. If you burn cardboard instead of recycling it, you will be wasting reusable resources.
Recycling may not be the easiest solution for your business, especially with the cost of commercial recycling, staff training, and the amount of space cardboard occupies. However, cardboard recycling is easy to recycle, pack down, store and transport for recycling.
Recycling cardboard has several benefits, including meeting your legal obligation, maintaining your business’s reputation and protecting the environment.
Business owners with regular volumes of cardboard measured in tonnes can get value for the collection or benefit from free cardboard collection.
Cardboard is available on the global market, and its price is subject to large fluctuations. For example, in 2020, the cost of cardboard recycling was between £65 - £105 per tonne. If you want to sell your cardboard, ensure you remove the contaminants such as liquid, Styrofoam-type packaging, food and grease from the cardboard.
A cost-effective way to store your cardboard for recycling is using mechanical balers because it ensures maximum returns and because the cardboard is already in the form required for recycling at the recycling facility.
Different cardboard grades can undergo recycling together if the load is dry and free of contaminants such as chemicals, grease and food. Some wax-coated cardboards aren’t recyclable but biodegradable.
Generally, corrugated cardboard recycling is separate from paper recycling, and you can mix thinner cardboard with paper.
Pizza boxes usually have recycling symbols and are made from corrugated cardboard, so they are recyclable. However, you can’t recycle pizza boxes if they are contaminated with food or grease, as they make the load useless.
Juices and milk are packed in Tetra Paks – plastic-coated cartons. Tetra Paks contain 80% of paper, with plastic and metal making up the remaining percentage of the cartons. You can’t recycle Tetra Pak with corrugated cardboard loads or normal single sheets. However, many Tetra Pak recycling facilities are opening in the UK.
The first thing to do before cardboard recycling is to ensure the cardboard load is dry and clean. Ensure you remove any contaminated items because they aren’t recyclable. The next step is removing any excess tape, but removing all tape isn’t necessary.
Ensure you pack the cardboard as flat as possible and store it in a container to keep it dry. If you want to recycle a large amount of cardboard, you can get a Mill Size baler, roll-off bins and specific lidded containers to store the cardboard.
If you are a domestic customer with large amounts of cardboard for recycling, you can take it to your local recycling facility. However, you can contact a specialised waste management company like ours to manage your cardboard recycling.
When cardboard arrives at the recycling facility, it gets sorted into corrugated boards, boxboards, or flat sheets. Although cardboard recycling is necessary, you need to separate cardboard because it will go into different products following recycling.
The next step is shredding the cardboard into small pieces and missing it with chemicals and water to get a slurry mixture. The recycled pulp is mixed with small amounts of pulp made from wood chips. The mixture undergoes filtering, centrifugal and chemical processes to remove the plastic, ink, metals and tape. The clean pulp gets dried and pressed into long sheets glued together to create new cardboard. Cardboard has several uses, including a wide range of packaging.
