Cardboard recycling

Cardboard (and paper) is one of the easiest things to recycle. When recycled properly your paper and cardboard waste is turned into new paper and cardboard products such as packaging, industrial paper, tissues, newspapers, insulation, kitty litter and moulded cartons for eggs and fruit. But it can be confusing.

Pizza boxes? What if there’s a lot of grease on them? And glossy takeaway cardboard containers? We’re glad you asked…
