A good part of the stuff we bought comes protected by cardboard boxes. From breakfast cereals to wine bottles, from the set of dishes to Ikea furniture, from the TV to the fridge. Cardboard is part of our everyday life. We often do not give it the importance it has, but we should bear in mind that without its presence everything would be much more complicated.
And it is that the cardboard protects what is inside it, orders it, and facilitates its storage.
Once the cardboard boxes They come to our homes and we take out what's inside, the first thought that comes to mind is that we should get rid of it. And here we have another of its advantages. Let's see. The cardboard box, once used, can have two destinations.
- The first is deploy it so it doesn't take up space and save it “just in case” one day we need a cardboard box. Once folded it can be placed anywhere in the house (behind a closet, under the bed...).
- The second is to fold it and down to the street to get it into the recycling container Paper. It is important to leave it in the blue container and not in the grey for correct recycling.
Either of these two possibilities reminds us that Carton is a material, not only very useful, but recyclable and therefore sustainable. Unlike other materials such as plastic, whose recycling is much more complex and doubtful, everything the cardboard allows its reuse.
