Why Pasco Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Recycled Cardboard
Recycled Cardboard — Circular Material for Brands Committed to Environmental Responsibility
Recycled cardboard packaging uses post-consumer waste (PCW) fiber recovered from used packaging, newspapers, and office paper — the same materials that consumers deposit in curbside recycling bins. By incorporating this recovered fiber, recycled cardboard packaging closes the material loop, creating demand for the recovered fiber that makes recycling programs economically viable.
Recycled cardboard is available in coated grades (CRB — Coated Recycled Board) that provide good printing quality for brand packaging, and in uncoated grades for applications where printing quality is less critical. PCW content ranges from 30% to 100% depending on grade and specification. We provide mill certification documentation confirming PCW content for ESG reporting and sustainability marketing claims.
Understanding PCW Content Claims
Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) content claims require mill certification to be defensible in marketing and ESG reporting. 'Recycled content' can mean pre-consumer waste (manufacturing trim waste) or post-consumer waste (recovered consumer packaging). Pre-consumer waste is easier and less expensive to process but has less sustainability value — it would have been recycled regardless. Post-consumer waste represents genuine material recovery from the consumer recycling stream. We specify and document PCW content separately from pre-consumer content for all recycled packaging.
When Recycled Cardboard is the Right Choice
Recycled cardboard is the right choice when brand sustainability commitments require documented material provenance, when ESG reporting requires quantified recycled content, when brand communication includes sustainability positioning, and when food-contact purity is not a packaging requirement. For direct food contact applications, virgin fiber SBS is the appropriate specification — recycled fiber cannot achieve the food-contact purity standards required for some applications.

Recycled Cardboard Packaging in Pasco — FAQs
How do I know the PCW content of my recycled packaging?
We provide mill certification documents for all recycled content packaging. These documents confirm the PCW percentage, mill identity, and certification body (FSC, SFI, or PEFC) for traceability in your sustainability reporting.
Can recycled cardboard packaging be used for food products?
Recycled fiber is not appropriate for direct food contact packaging due to potential trace contaminants in recovered fiber. It is appropriate for indirect food contact (outer cartons not touching food) and non-food packaging. For direct food contact, virgin fiber SBS is required.

Recycled fiber board is typically 5-10% lower in tensile strength and stiffness compared to equivalent caliper virgin fiber board. For most standard retail packaging applications, this difference is not significant. Our structural team accounts for this in specifications where it matters.
