Paper & Cardboard

The type of waste most often produced by businesses is paper and cardboard.

Paper and cardboard make up 11% of Canada's national waste. Thankfully, the majority of these materials are both biodegradable and recyclable. Recycling stands out as the number one most sustainable option for handling waste cardboard and paper.

Why It's A Problem

When used paper and cardboard end up in the landfill, they will eventually biodegrade, but they'll take up unnecessary space and produce methane gas. If these materials are recycled and turned into new products, there are substantial economic and environmental benefits.
