What is Cardboard Recycling?

The recycling of cardboard involves reprocessing and reusing old, worn out, or abandoned thick sheets of paper known as cardboard boxes. Carton boxes are commonly made out of heavy-duty paper or thick paper, which is known for its strength and durability. You can find cardboard boxes in many different places, including egg cartons, shoe boxes, and packaging for big appliances. Businesses can save money on waste disposal by recycling corrugated cardboard, also known as cardboard.

Recycling not only protects the environment by reducing pollution, but also conserves resources and creates jobs. You can handle cardboard waste better by using a cardboard baler instead of cutting it up. This machine is simple to operate, and it produces compact bales that don’t take up much room. Traders, retailers, and supermarkets often deal with small amounts of cardboard waste, so vertical balers are the perfect solution. Those who have a lot of cardboard waste in large manufacturing and distribution companies can benefit from horizontal balers.

Cardboard Waste Recycling Process

Sorting, shredding, pulping, filtration, drying, pressing, and rolling are some of the paper recycling procedures that vary depending on the recycler and the paper maker. Partnering with a professional waste company like Taunton Waste is the best way to ensure that your cardboard recycling is handled properly. This will ensure that you don’t have to deal with any huge pile-ups or legal difficulties. 

On a daily, weekly, monthly, or as-needed basis, we can collect your cardboard waste. The following is the procedure for recycling cardboard, which is quite similar to the procedure for recycling paper:

Collection: Before we can recycle cardboard, we must first collect it. We’ll follow your lead regarding where and when to pick the cardboard waste. Upon collection, everything is measured and sent to a recycling facility. The way that cardboard is used or manufactured determines whether certain types of cardboard can be recycled.

Sorting: Corrugated boxes are categorized by the material they’re made of when they arrive at the recycling center. Classifications include corrugated cardboard and boxboard.

Pulping: After sorting and shredding are completed, pulping takes place. The cardboard paper threads are broken into small fragments when shredding is performed. As the material is finely shredded into minute pieces, the water and chemicals are added to help break down the fibers into sludge. This process, called “pulping,” allows the pulped product to solidify and harden by using more pulp, usually made from wood chips.

De-filtering and de-inking: A thorough filtration process is then performed on the pulp in order to remove all foreign particles, threads, tape, and glue. Inks and colors are removed through a series of filtering and screening procedures when pulp is placed in a flotation device that is containing chemicals. The pulp is thoroughly cleaned in this process before being made into more paper.

Creating new cardboard: A flat conveyor belt and heated cylindrical surfaces are used to dry the pulp after it has been cleaned. In order to produce large rolls of solid sheet, the dried pulp is sucked through a machine that removes excess water and allows it to be dried further. This process is known as linerboard and mediums production. A new piece of cardboard is created by gluing together the linerboards layer by layer.
