Cardboard boxes Shredder
It’s obvious why important documents might require shredding, but not cardboard. Though still relatively unknown to the public, cardboard shredders do in fact have many benefits. Warehouses, shipping departments, or any other business that accumulates an abundance of cardboard boxes can save time and money with a single machine. In the time that you purchase and wait for delivery of packing materials, you could purchase a cardboard shredder and never have to pay a third-party business again. Instead of buying new packing material with fluctuating costs over and over again, such as non-recyclable styrofoam (that damages the environment), a one-time purchase of a cardboard shredder produces an endless supply of cheap packing material (so long as there’s cardboard). And because cardboard can be recycled, there is no need to pay for the cost of new materials, waste management, or send materials to landfills. You already have all the cardboard you need, all that’s left is getting a shredder.
Cardboard itself is inherently economical and green. Unlike normal paper made from hardwood trees (depleting the world’s forestry at an unsustainable rate), cardboard is made from both recycled material and easily replenished softwood fibers, making it biodegradable and perfectly sustainable. Therefore, re-using cardboards to replace wasteful and/or non-biodegradable materials maximizes sustainability and reduces the amount of environmentally harmful waste produced and thrown away. Most people may recognize the small packing peanuts typically used to fill packages by its trade name, styrofoam. Polystyrene (styrofoam’s real name) is a petroleum-based plastic and the damages of its production greatly outweighs the benefits. Most people don’t know just how toxic and dangerous styrofoam can be and continue to use it.
