Effectively Recycling Waste Cardboard

Posted on by

Is there a method of recycling cardboard effectively? The answer to this is a cardboard baling machine, which compacts waste cardboard and bundles it into bales. This machine creates a carbon footprint that is better and this is very practical.

The latest designs for brand new cardboard baling machines in the market are very efficient and constructed of durable materials. Imagine the weekly cost of renting bins to store your cardboard waste, then you would have to pay for workers to arrange it in the bin, then again when they load it into the collector truck. It will come out more expensive than having your very own baling machine. The initial purchase may cost a lot but if you add up the weekly cost, it will even be higher. The machine itself also doubles up as a storage bin because the compacted material would create lesser space than normal. Today, the latest models are fully automated.

The bundling and compacting is done with a touch of a button, which reduces your usual baling time to more than half.

Unlike a bunch of loose cardboards which have to be stored under a roof, a compacted bale can withstand the elements so that you can just leave it exposed to the weather without any worries. Because of the tightness of the compacting process, the kindling point is lessened so that fire cannot easily consume a bundle. As a consequence, storage of the bales lessens the hazard of fire as compared to loose cardboards. This increases the safety of storage.

The dealer of the baler machine usually has connections with a local bale collector within your zone. Usually, the bundles are collected without any charges. Mill size cardboard bales can fetch good revenue for every ton. Smaller sized bales though can only afford a free collection. You can bring your bales to the local recycling factory, which may be exchanged for small revenues in some states. You can inquire about this with your dealer. Ask whether they can set you up with these collectors.

Due to the compaction procedure, the instances of collection would occur much lesser. Take for example, when you used to pay for two 1100-liter wheelie bins for collection in a week. Now, you may only have three or four bales for collection in a month, and the collection is free. As a result, you have minimized the gas consumed by dustbin trucks. How’s that for environment friendliness?

Recycling of Waste Cardboard

Posted on by

Are you trying to find a way to get rid of unwanted waste cardboard? You could just go ahead and fill up the landfills to overflowing, or you could try one of the following ideas. There are probably a dozen or more ways to get rid of cardboard; but for the sake of not being extremely boring, I’m only going to tell you about three of them.

1) An economic and environmentally friendly way to get rid of your unwanted cardboard, is by recycling it. Today there are many places that will actually pay you for your waste cardboard in the same way that they pay for bottles and cans. If you do decide to recycle, not only will you fulfill your duty to be kind to the earth, but you could also go home with a little extra spending money in your pocket.

2) A charitable way to get rid of your clean, unwanted waste cardboard, is by donating it for arts and crafts projects.

You can call local childcare centers, schools, and churches to find out who might need it. Many places that work with children use cardboard to make signs or for other arts and crafts projects; it is much more affordable than poster board. If you do decide to donate your cardboard, you will be able to sleep well knowing that you have done your good deed for the day.

3) If you live in an area that has cold winters, and people still use fireplaces; you can get rid of waste cardboard by recycling it as a fire starter. The most important thing to remember if you plan to use your cardboard to fuel the fire; is to store it in a safe place away from your house, preferably in a shed not attatched to the house. Make sure that your cardboard is in a place where it will stay dry, and stored away from flammable liquids and gases. If you have an excessive amount of cardboard, you can share some with your neighbors; be sure to tell them about the proper way to store the unused cardboard until they are ready to use it.

I do hope that these ideas have been helpful; if not, you could just throw it in the trash, but then again if you do that, we just might run out of landfills.

Packaging and The Environment – Corrugated Cardboard

Posted on by

Eco-friendly products are currently in high demand. Consumers are very much aware of the need for products which can be reduced, re-used or recycled. This even goes as far as the packaging materials in which the product arrives. Many traditional packaging materials are not eco-friendly, such as polystyrene loose fill or plastic blister packs, but many of these products have alternatives which would achieve the same results, whilst keeping costs to a minimum. As suppliers, more attention needs to be paid to sourcing packaging which is much more ‘ecologically sound’.

Corrugated cardboard is used as one of the most fundamental items in packaging, the humble cardboard box. Used extensively throughout the world, cardboard boxes or cartons are the backbone of most transit packaging. Corrugated cardboard may at first seem like a very bad resource for use in eco-friendly packaging materials, (destruction of forests, destroying eco-systems) but this is not strictly true, as many of the paper based materials in use are cut from sustainable woodlands.

Aside from this, there are other benefits to using corrugated cardboard packaging.

All cardboard boxes can be reused & recycled. This means that less resources are used in the future, as recycled corrugated cardboard can be used in making further cardboard boxes, and re-use of boxes ensures maximum life-span of the original materials. Although many corrugated cardboard boxes are not usually 100% recycled, (70-90% on average), it is possible to purchase boxes which are entirely made from recycled corrugated cardboard.
It is not just the corrugated boxes which can be made of recycled materials but also inserts for these boxes., such as those used to hold wine bottles in place or specialist die-cut inserts.

Boxes are not the only product made from corrugated cardboard.

Single-face corrugated paper rolls, corrugated mailing wraps, shredded kraft papers & corrugated sheet-board made from 100% recycled materials can all be purchased.

The incentive to use recycled corrugated cardboard packaging materials is due to a number of factors. These include the reduced cost of packaging materials, (as recycled materials generally cost less than virgin materials), & the opening up of further demographic markets, as many consumers will base their purchasing habits on how eco-friendly a product appears to be, including the packaging materials products are despatched in.

It is no longer just good enough to provide a quality product at an affordable price. It must be considered just how eco-friendly your product is, including any packaging materials which are involved. If this is over-looked, then be prepared to pay in lost sales & lost customers.
