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.

Advantages of Cardboard Recycling

  • Cost Reduction: Lower processing fees and avoidance of landfill taxes.
  • Revenue Generation: Potential earnings from selling compacted waste.
  • Operational Efficiency: Improved space utilisation and productivity.
  • Environmental Benefits: Conservation of resources and reduced energy use.
  • Net Zero Goals: Enhanced resilience and contribution to climate change mitigation

  • Quick Wins:
    • Assess cardboard waste volume and type.
    • Raise recycling awareness and provide clear segregation guidelines.
    • Partner with certified waste management companies.
