I’d be all for another way to recycle paper. I work in a cardboard factory. Recycled paper is a nightmare to try to make into cardboard a second time. There must be big money in it though my company keeps closing old traditional pulp paper mills down and adding mills that use recycled paper
As someone who works in a cardboard factory, what else goes into making new cardboard in addition to trees?
Perhaps the reason paper companies are putting more resources into recycling mills is the that recycled paper sells and is more profitable since that's what the buyers want to buy.
The original poster mentions he has "cardboard pulp" available. What is that? Is it virgin material or recycled or trims or ? What's in it?
Thanks for your first hand input.
