The Cardboard Recycling Process
Once your cardboard waste is collected by Nottinghamshire Waste, it undergoes a thorough recycling process to ensure it is repurposed into valuable new products:
- Collection: We collect your cardboard waste using the provided bins, ensuring timely and efficient service according to your schedule.
- Transportation: The collected cardboard is transported safely to our recycling facility, ensuring it remains dry and uncontaminated.
- Sorting and Shredding: At the facility, the cardboard is sorted to remove any contaminants, such as plastic or metal. It is then shredded into small pieces.
- Pulping: The shredded cardboard is mixed with water to create a pulp. This process breaks down the cardboard fibres, making them ready for reuse.
- Reforming: The pulp is spread out and pressed into new sheets of cardboard. These sheets are then dried and rolled out, ready to be turned into new products.
- Manufacturing: The recycled cardboard is used to create a variety of new products, such as packaging materials, boxes, and paper products.

- Saves Energy: The energy required to produce new cardboard from recycled materials is significantly lower than producing it from raw materials.
- Reduces Waste: Recycling cardboard helps divert waste from landfills, conserving space and reducing environmental impact.
