We now have a way of life, reforms in our responsibility to the environment. We offer activities that well-being, our life and our environment to promote balance. We therefore make a choice and implement ideas, conservation, restoration and protection.

The most common and most believe that each can recycle.

From the simple separation of non-biodegradable materials for reuse old boxes for storage and travel, we want our fair share of the defense. It can not only help the environment, but it can also be a part of our household expenses. While this is not a large sum, is the one that support for the reuse of old stuff for a different function entirely happy with the plot and not their monetary value.

Here are some reasons why people use recycled boxes for storage and travel:

1. It reduces waste, because funds are used more than once. So it can be recycled.

2 Use of recycled cans saves about 17 million gallons of trees and water (U.S. Department of Energy).

3 Recycling boxes have the same quality and strength of the new boxes if it is damaged and irreparable.

4 There is a growing demand for old boxes that can economically benefit social communities or nonprofit organizations.

And here are some statistics about recycling * in the U.S. alone are gathered:

1. 251 million – tons of trash in

U.S.

2 53.4 – Percentage of all recycled paper products in the U.S.

3 32.5 – percentage of total waste recycled in the U.S.

4 approximate percentage of the increase in total recycling in the U.S. during the last decade

– 100

5 8660 – Number of curbside programs in the United States in 2006

6 95 – percentage of energy that can be recycled aluminum to a new

stored 7th 4,6 – kilos of waste per person per day in the U.S. (the world)

8 1.5 – pounds of material per person per day in the U.S.

Recycling

Imagine the numbers of the product when you consider the days and the population in the United States … and what’s more, if you follow the rest of the world total.

Fortunately, it’s not just us who the action. Companies, paper products such as notebooks, new impressions, and corrugated board boxes producer, the corporate social responsibility and the environment through the production of recycled products for sale.

companies like

Box Discount Supply, a company in Chicago clubs in the manufacture and recycling of corrugated boxes, packaging boxes, mailing supplies and defenders in love the concept of recycling and . sell

in particular, produced apart from the environmental benefits of buying recycled boxes is much cheaper than buying a new box from real tree pulp.

recycled by a representative of the company, its products called wavy. And he, Jeff Giedt, scales, information on the composition of recycled boxes:

“These corrugated boxes are supposedly” environmentally correct “because it can be recycled into new cans and other products of this. image is largely justified, since the content of recycled corrugated cardboard is

generally the highest of all paper in 1997, it produced was 66 percent and rising. from While corrugated products are often re-used, and the majority is recycled, some boxes corrugated end up as waste in landfills.

recycled to produce and recycled linerboard corrugated many both preconsumer and post consumer old corrugated containers (OCC). Preconsumer waste corrugated materials such as trim out-of-box and cylinders. paper covers boxes that were used for transport and then discarded. In 1997, producers of pulp and paper more than 16 million tons of OCC uses to make new containers, while another 3.7 million tons were exported are of OCC.

standard corrugated boxes for recycling is relatively easy because they are easily printed and little or no deinking. The paste obtained from the OCC needs cleaning and will not be bleached. Unlike many grades of recycled paper suffers OCC minimal fiber strength and other physical properties. But there is a limit to the number of fibers can even be recycled. for example tend Asia corrugated boxes, which have repeatedly returned because of the shortage of virgin fiber paper in these countries are weaker and less resistant water than corrugated boxes in the United States. The quality of Asian OCC fiber is so low that many U.S. recycling plants exclude to it from their processes. “

In Indeed, recycling is essential. And I hope that we participate in these efforts and their commitment to saving us, our families and our environment.
