Cardboard Waste-Environmental Gains

Transform Cardboard Waste into Environmental Gains

Harness the transformative power of expert cardboard recycling to drive significant environmental benefits. Our advanced recycling solutions go beyond simple waste management—they are crucial in promoting sustainability and protecting natural resources. This process minimises landfill usage and lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste decomposition. 

Recycling cardboard conserves vital resources by enabling the recovery of valuable materials that can be reused in new products. This closed-loop cycle reduces the need for virgin raw materials, ultimately saving trees and decreasing the energy required for manufacturing. Additionally, effective recycling helps reduce the environmental footprint of your business, aligning with corporate sustainability goals and enhancing your commitment to environmental stewardship.

Our Carboard Recycling Process

Collection and Sorting: We start by efficiently collecting your cardboard waste from designated drop-off points or through scheduled pickups. Once at our facility, the cardboard is meticulously sorted to remove contaminants and separate different types of materials. 

Shredding and Pulping: The sorted cardboard is then fed into industrial shredders that break it down into smaller pieces. These shredded pieces are mixed with water to create a slurry, or pulp, which further breaks down the fibers. 

Cleaning and De-Inking: The pulp undergoes a cleaning process to remove any remaining impurities, such as glue or ink. This step is crucial to ensure that the recycled fibers are of high quality and suitable for producing new products. 

Formation and Drying: The clean pulp is spread onto large screens to form sheets of recycled paper. These sheets are then pressed to remove excess water and dried using heated rollers, creating a continuous roll of recycled cardboard. 

Rolling and Packaging: The dried cardboard is rolled into large reels and cut to the desired sizes. It is then packaged and prepared for distribution to manufacturers who use it to create new cardboard products.

Don't Hesitate to Ask Us

Got questions about our services? Our FAQ section provides clear answers to help you understand our comprehensive mixed recycling solutions.

Why can't oily cardboard be recycled?

We cannot recycle oily or contaminated cardboard—it damages machinery and lowers recycled quality process, compromising the quality of the recycled material and potentially causing machinery issues. Their presence can also lead to ineffective recycling, making it challenging to produce high-quality recycled products.

Why should I flatten cardboard before recycling?

Flattening cardboard ensures it occupies less space, improves sorting efficiency, and helps in achieving a higher quality of recycled material. This simple step optimises the recycling process and reduces handling costs.

Can I include cardboard with minor tape or labels in the recycling?

Yes, minor tape or labels are generally acceptable, but excessive tape or non-paper materials should be removed to avoid contaminating the recycling stream. Properly preparing your cardboard ensures better recycling outcomes.

How does recycling cardboard help reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Recycling cardboard cuts down the demand for new raw materials and energy-heavy production processes, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. By using recycled cardboard, we cut down on deforestation and energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
