Every cardboard box has many lives.

📦 Used. Collected. Recycled. Transformed into new packaging.

That's the circular journey of cardboard. Its fibres stay in use thanks to well-established collection and recycling systems.

Circularity begins long before packaging reaches the recycling bin.

▶️ It starts at the design stage

Corrugated cardboard:

✅ Is made from a single material, making it easy to fold, sort and collect
✅ Benefits from well-established recycling systems that support high recovery rates

The result? A recycling rate above 90%.
