Cardboard Recycling

Cardboard waste in your home, office, or shop comes in many shapes, forms, and sizes that can all be recycled over and over with easy success when done properly. We work with a range of cardboard recycling partners that can manage all types of cardboard, their service also includes sorting through cardboard that has confidential information printed on it that may be difficult to dispose of.

Examples of some of the most easily recycled forms of cardboard include storage boxes, heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, egg boxes, toothpaste boxes, tissue boxes, pizza boxes, and various forms of postage packaging. It is important to make sure - especially with cardboard used in food takeaways for example - that it is clean and free from oil and grease that can interfere with the recycling process. Our experienced partners are here to help you and can sort through your cardboard waste on your behalf, so you do not have to.

Wayst envisions a regenerative and circular economy that is virtually at our doorstep, waste must be seen and treated as a valuable resource - and cardboard recycling is one of the most direct ways in which we can do this. Similar to paper, cardboard is highly recyclable when done properly - and our qualified cardboard recycling partners are able to carry this out with maximum efficiency in order to have a positive impact on the environment. They have the experience required to deliver quick, convenient, and bespoke cardboard recycling services that complements any kind and amount of cardboard waste produced in your home or place of work.

We have over a decade of experience in proper cardboard recycling services, so we know what to look for when hiring professional and compliant service providers. We guarantee the highest quality in the services our partners provide - with fast turnaround times, as well as safe and reliable collections that prioritise your safety and satisfaction. Our cardboard recycling specialists have the expertise necessary in dealing with any form and volume of cardboard, including confidential articles in your cardboard waste such as names and addresses on postage packaging. Our approved partners also sort through and separate any contaminants from your cardboard waste - including things like greasy pizza boxes that can cause complications in the recycling process. There are five different standardised grades of paper and cardboard that help identify how we can recycle it, we list these grades below with some examples:

Grade 1: Standard grade that consists of mixed cardboard and paper, all unsorted but any contaminants removed.
Grade 2 Mid-grade cardboard and paper waste consisting of newspapers and polyethylene-coated cardboard.
Grade 3: High-grade cardboard and paper waste like heavy sheets of multi-ply cardboard.
Grade 4: Kraft-grade cardboard and paper waste such as corrugated cardboard and poly coated cardboard or papers.
Grade 5: Special-grade cardboard and paper waste including mixed cardboard packaging, mixed recovered paper and cardboard, and liquid packaging cardboard.

Our chosen cardboard recycling specialists can organise your recyclable cardboard waste on your behalf into these different grades for proper recycling, giving you the benefit of reducing the amount of potential contaminants within your waste to be transported to a certified treatment facility for proper recycling.

Confidential information such as names and addresses on labels that are never quick and convenient to remove may be mixed in with your cardboard waste. We know the legislation involved in the handling of your confidential waste, so we thoroughly audit our cardboard recycling partners to guarantee a secure handling of your sensitive information, and promise the complete destruction of it including a certificate of destruction at the end of the service to provide you with the traceability and peace of mind in knowing you are safe from fraud that may come about from your sensitive information getting into the wrong hands.

When your cardboard waste arrives at one of our certified recycling facilities, it is once again sorted through and categorised to ensure there are no remaining contaminants. Your confidential waste that is found mixed in with your cardboard waste is first thoroughly and finely shredded to make sure it is completely destroyed. The cardboard is then broken down into a fibrous pulp where it can be easily filtered of any impurities and remaining contaminants. The fibrous pulp is then de-inked using the combination of shredding and adding chemicals into a fibrous solution before being filtered multiple times using special equipment. Finally, the pulp is then pressed into a new compound that can be used to make recycled cardboard. This recycling process can be carried out many times with the same product, which carries with it massive environmental benefits that can be easily achieved when you choose a reliable cardboard recycling service provider from Wayst.

Do you need a reliable cardboard recycling service? We are here to organise it for you.

Cardboard packaging, especially for food and oil-based products, contains copious amounts of grease and oil. When cardboard is broken down into a fibrous pulp during the recycling process, it forms a slurry during this stage of the process. Oil forms at the top of the slurry as a result of any oil or grease remaining in the cardboard, which causes the paper fibres to not separate properly for filtering and to complete the next steps in the recycling process. When the water is squeezed out during the pressing stage of the recycling process, it leaves spots and holes in the resulting product which means it cannot be reused due to the compromised structural integrity. With the cardboard recycling experts at Wayst, we guarantee a reliable recycling service that separates all cardboard with grease and contaminants so the rest of your cardboard waste is not compromised, our aim is for you to achieve the highest possible recycling rates so you can have the peace of mind in knowing you will be having a positive impact on the environment by choosing the right service.

Some cardboard mixed in with our cardboard waste contains harmful chemicals and materials like glues and plastic coatings on certain types of packaging that can be really harmful to the environment when not properly disposed of and recycled when it is just dumped at a landfill site or fly-tipped.
