QUESTION

What is Cardboard and Paper Recycling?

Cardboard and paper recycling is the process of collecting used paper products and turning them into new paper or cardboard instead of sending them to landfill.

Common recyclable items include newspapers, office paper, paper bags, cereal boxes, and flattened corrugated cardboard.

We know that cardboard is one of the largest single constituents of general (or municipal) waste worldwide. In fact, within the material we collect specifically for cardboard and paper recycling, 80-90% is made up of cardboard. 

At Hurn Recycling, we provide cardboard and paper recycling for businesses of all sizes, allowing you to effectively and sustainably manage your waste. We keep you on track with a tailored paper and cardboard waste collection and recycling strategy to suit your business needs. 

We can also provide cardboard and paper recycling bins or arrange baled and loose cardboard collections if your business does not have storage space for bins.

Once collected, the cardboard and paper are taken to a recycling facility, where they are sorted by type and grade. Any non-recyclable items, such as plastic, food residue, or other contaminants, are removed.

Reprocessing

After sorting, the material is baled and sent for reprocessing, where it is broken down into fibres and made into new paper or cardboard products. This helps reduce landfill and conserves valuable natural resources.
