FAQs

Does cardboard break down faster than plastic?

Yes. Cardboard decomposes significantly faster than plastic and can completely disintegrate in as little as two months. Plastic, on the other hand, is projected to endure 400-1,000 years.

Can shredded cardboard substitute my current packing materials?

Yes. Cardboard is an environmentally responsible alternative to polystyrene chips and other plastic packaging fillers. It is a cost-effective and well-protective packaging material. To preserve the environment, we often advise businesses to replace expensive and wasteful plastic bubble wrap, packing peanuts, kraft paper, and air pillows with perforated cardboard.

Can I shred cardboard with a standard paper shredder?

No. Standard paper shredders are not designed to shred cardboard. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to the shredder. To prevent this, we advise investing in a heavy-duty cardboard shredder.

Can shredded cardboard be used for animal bedding?

Yes. One of the most useful purposes of using shredded cardboard for pet bedding is its ability to absorb moisture. Shredded cardboard is a healthier, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional animal bedding, such as wood shavings. It is extremely popular in the equestrian, agricultural, game, and poultry industries.
