Why Cardboard Recycling Matters
Recycling cardboard is essential as it helps save natural resources, reduces landfill demand, and lowers business costs. With over 12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard used annually in the UK, increasing recycling efforts is vital for both environmental and economic benefits.
Legal Compliance and Sustainability
Businesses must adhere to the Waste Hierarchy principles, ensuring proper storage, transport, and disposal of waste. Compliance not only avoids legal repercussions but also supports a circular economy and environmental sustainability.
