Recyclable boxes, recycling, sustainable packaging 

Is corrugated packaging eco friendly?

Yes, corrugated packaging is eco-friendly as it is made from renewable, recyclable, recycled and biodegradable materials.

  • Renewable: Corrugated packaging is made from recycled fibres and sustainably sourced fibres.
  • Recyclable: Corrugated packaging can be recycled up to 25 times.
  • Recycled: Corrugated packaging has the highest recycling rate of any packaging globally.
  • Biodegradable: If corrugated packaging ends up in nature, it biodegrades faster than a leaf.

The corrugated packaging industry is a perfect example of the circular economy in action with recycled packaging often being remanufactured back into new packaging within 14 days.

What is corrugated packaging made of?

Corrugated packaging is primarily made from a combination of paper-based materials. Typically, it consists of three layers: an outer and inner liner with a fluted paper in the middle. Additional layers of liners and fluted paper can be added to increase strength and durability. We offer paper grades made from recycled fibres or sustainably sourced virgin fibres. To assist you in choosing the right paper grade to suit your product, supply chain, and print needs, our team of dedicated technical and sales advisors provides specialist advice.
