Large US retail chains have decided to abandon plastic packaging when ordering online. They decided to switch to paper packaging. Probably, it will be cardboard boxes as well. As a result, a quite logical conclusion can be drawn. The volumes of OCC cardboard will increase. Of course, it is better to use paper packaging than plastic. After all, plastic does much more harm to the environment. At the same time, not all plastic is recyclable.
In turn, waste paper, in particular cardboard, can be successfully recycled. This is important when you consider that it can be recycled repeatedly. The merchants are doing the right thing. But now the responsibility for the disposal of used cardboard will lie with those who buy in stores using the possibility of online ordering goods. It will be necessary to think about what to do with cardboard packaging, as well as another one, also paper.
Today, there are local companies that accept waste paper from the population. They make a useful contribution to protecting the environment. In the course of their activities, they solve the issues of sending accepted paper and other waste to processing enterprises. As a result, it turns out to make sure that the same waste paper, including cardboard packaging, does not end up in landfills and pollute our beautiful world.
