Corrugated cardboard is made from natural renewable resources and is easily recyclable. Apart from offering good protection during long journeys, it is also easily customizable and affordable.
Packaging and crating activities consume a very heavy amount of resources. Artificial materials produced on industrial scales to meet these requirements can pose a good threat to the environment and its resources. Corrugated materials can be engineered from secondary fiber sources including old corrugated containers, old newspapers, and straw. These materials can even be picked up from municipal solid waste.
The statistics themselves show how effective corrugated re-engineered products are when it comes to recycling. Every year, millions of tons of corrugated material is recovered and recycled in the U.S. alone.
This easy recycling means a great reduction in the stress on procuring raw resources for manufacturing shipping and packing materials. Another positive feature of this material involves the ability to use water-based inks for printing and marking the boxes. This means a significant reduction in the use of lead-based inks that pollute the environment during manufacture.
Not only are corrugated boxes environmentally friendly, they are also one of the cheapest container materials available. After all, it is just recyclable cardboard that one is using repeatedly.
Handling and moving corrugated boxes, and the cost of labor and tools required to do so is reasonable too. This reduces the overall cost of shipping. Lightweight and durable, the material offers good cushioning and shock absorbing qualities.
In brief, corrugated boxes offer a single source solution for storage, shipping, packing, display, and advertising needs for a range of goods - fragile and hard. Whether it is warehousing or retail, packing and crating, or moving household goods, corrugated cardboard boxes are a cost-effective and environmental friendly solution.
