Benefits of Our Cardboard Recycling in Calgary

Reduces Waste Sent to Landfills

One of the most significant benefits is that recycling cardboard reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills. Landfills are harmful to the environment through air and water pollution, so diverting cardboard from landfills lessens these damaging effects.

Conserves Natural Resources

Recycling cardboard reduces the need to harvest fresh raw materials from forests to produce new cardboard products. For every ton of cardboard recycled, it saves approximately 17 trees and the associated impacts of deforestation.

Saves Energy and Water

Manufacturing new cardboard from virgin materials requires much more energy and water compared to recycling existing cardboard. Recycling cardboard uses 75% less energy and saves around 7,000 gallons of water per ton recycled.

Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions

When cardboard decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By recycling cardboard instead of sending it to landfills, it reduces the amount of methane and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

Creates Jobs

The recycling process is labor-intensive, creating jobs in collection, sorting, processing, and transportation. This economic activity contributes to local job growth and economic stability.

Versatile Material

Recycled cardboard can be used to produce a wide range of new products like cereal boxes, paper towels, tissues, and paperboard. This closed-loop recycling reduces waste.

Recycling cardboard provides significant environmental benefits by conserving resources, saving energy and water, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting economic activity through job creation.
