A Few Facts About Cardboard:

Cardboard is used to ship 90 percent of all products in the US.

Most of cardboard waste comes from big companies like department stores and supermarkets because they are constantly shipping products.

Recycled carboard only takes 75 percent of the energy needed to make new carboard and lessens the emission of sulfur dioxide that is produced when making pulp from wood trees.

Recycling one ton of cardboard saves nine cubic yards of landfill space and 46 gallons of oil.

Cardboard is safe to dispose of, as it has no toxic constituents and is biodegradable.

The recovery rate of Old Corrugated Cardboard was 76.4 percent in 2006.
