What is it?

No virgin material is used so no trees have to be cut down and no waste products got to landfill.

Recycled cardboard is an environmentally friendly material made from waste or scrap products, usually from packaging that has been reprocessed and given a new life. The recycling process of cardboard involves collecting used cardboard materials from various sources and then separating it from any non-cardboard materials like plastics, metals, or glass. Once sorted, the cardboard is then cleaned, flattened, and shredded into small pieces. These pieces are mixed with water to create a pulp-like substance which is then treated with chemicals to break it down further and remove any impurities. The resulting pulp is then dried and pressed into thin sheets, creating the final recycled cardboard product.

At agood company, we prioritize the use of recycled cardboard for our product packaging, as we believe in doing our part to protect the planet. By choosing recycled cardboard for our packaging, we can offer our customers sustainable and stylish products without compromising on quality or aesthetics.

Why we like It

As a company dedicated to promoting sustainable practices, we prioritize the use of recycled cardboard for our product packaging. Here are some reasons why we love this eco-friendly material:

  • No new trees: The production of recycled cardboard uses materials that have already been used, reducing the need to cut down new trees. By using recycled cardboard, we help to preserve our forests and the habitat they provide for wildlife.
  • Saves energy: Producing recycled cardboard uses significantly less energy compared to producing new cardboard. This is because the recycling process involves breaking down and reusing existing materials, which requires less energy than harvesting and processing new materials.
  • Uses less water: The production of recycled cardboard also uses less water compared to producing new cardboard. This is because the recycling process requires less water for processing compared to harvesting and processing new materials.
  • No virgin material: Using recycled cardboard means that we are not using virgin materials, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging. By reusing existing materials, we help to reduce waste and promote a circular economy.

Applications

At agood company, we love using recycled cardboard for our product packaging and other applications. Here are some examples of the different ways we use this eco-friendly material:

  • agood bamboo toilet paper packaging: Our top-selling agood toilet paper is packaged in recycled cardboard, which not only helps to reduce waste but also adds a touch of sustainability to your bathroom essentials.
  • Packaging: We use recycled cardboard for all of our product packaging, including boxes and labels. By using recycled materials, we can deliver high-quality products to our customers while also reducing our environmental impact.
  • Business cards: Our business cards are made from recycled cardboard, adding a touch of eco-friendliness to our brand. We believe that every little bit counts when it comes to promoting sustainable practices, and even our business cards can make a difference.
  • Bookbinding: Recycled cardboard is also an excellent material for bookbinding. It is durable, lightweight, and eco-friendly, making it a perfect choice for creating sustainable notebooks, journals, and other paper products.

Here are some of the key benefits of using recycled cardboard:

  • NO deforestation: By using recycled cardboard, we reduce the demand for new trees to be cut down for the production of new cardboard. This helps to preserve our forests and the wildlife that depends on them.
  • NO new trees: Recycled cardboard is made from materials that have already been used, such as packaging waste. This means that no new trees need to be cut down, helping to reduce our environmental impact.
  • NO bleach: Our recycled cardboard packaging does not require the use of bleach, which is a harmful chemical that can have negative effects on the environment and human health. By avoiding the use of bleach, we can reduce our environmental impact and promote a safer working environment for our employees.
  • NO waste paper to landfill: When we use recycled cardboard, we are diverting waste from landfills and promoting a circular economy. Instead of throwing away used cardboard, we can repurpose it into new products, reducing our waste and promoting sustainable practices.
  • YES saves energy: The production of recycled cardboard requires significantly less energy compared to producing new cardboard. This is because the recycling process involves breaking down and reusing existing materials, which requires less energy than harvesting and processing new materials.
  • YES uses less water: Producing recycled cardboard also uses less water compared to producing new cardboard. This is because the recycling process requires less water for processing compared to harvesting and processing new materials.

Conclusion

To sum it up, using recycled cardboard is a no-brainer for anyone who cares about the environment. Not only does it help to conserve natural resources and reduce waste, but it also saves energy and water, and promotes a circular economy. Plus, let's face it, recycled cardboard is just cooler than plain old virgin cardboard - it has character, history, and a story to tell.
