Cardboard can be recycled five to seven times and is a generally straightforward and easy material to recycle. The following are some of the measures which the company is taking in recycling cardboard:

• Removal of any box packing materials

• Not to worry about removing any labels from the cardboard boxes. They will be removed in the recycling process.

• If the box is dented, bent, ripped or damaged, that’s okay. It can still be recycled as long as it is dry and clean.

• Keeping the boxes dry. If the boxes get wet, they are firstly allowed to dry before recycling them.

• Keep the boxes clean and away from food products such as oil and grease! A greasy or heavily food-stained box is not recycled.

The cardboard boxes are flattened or ripped apart before placing them in the baling machine. There are two types of cardboard boxes which the Company often comes across: corrugated cardboard and paperboard. Paperboard is the thinner of the two and is used to make things like food packaging boxes, shoe boxes, juice boxes; milk cartons, etc. Corrugated cardboard is the stronger, thicker and is primarily used to make packaging boxes and even furniture. All these cardboards are recyclable, even together in a single bale.
