Cardboard Recycling Corby

Cardboard is the most recycled waste type in the UK. Currently, around 70% of our cardboard is recycled. Yet, 30% of cardboard waste is still sent to landfill sites. As this form of waste is easier to recycle than most, decomposing in a landfill is unnecessary and damaging. When cardboard waste is sent to a landfill, it breaks down and releases methane gas. This gas, which is one of the most common greenhouse gases, contributes to climate change as it damages the ozone layer.

Furthermore, sending unnecessary waste to landfill sites causes overflows and leakages. When landfills leak, they can contaminate local water supplies, and render soil unusable. This has detrimental implications for agriculture, and it causes harm to local wildlife and humans. Cardboard recycling for your Corby business is not just important for saving the environment, but it improves your reputation. By working with a licensed and respected Northamptonshire waste management service, you will improve your public image as an ethical and compliant company. This contributes to your Corporate Social Responsibility and could help you land new customers.
