Packaging made from recycled cardboard differs from packaging made from primary wood raw material in terms of appearance and functionality. Recycled cardboard is not as aesthetically pleasing and durable as cardboard made from cellulose. It is less resistant to moisture and mechanical damage, it is thicker and heavier. It is these qualities that you should pay attention to when looking for a shipping package. A few additional grams of packaging or slightly larger outer dimensions of the package can lead to a higher shipping cost. Recycled cardboard packaging must have a certificate to confirm this. Assurance by the seller alone that the packaging is made from recycled cardboard is not sufficient.

Packaging made from recycled (KRAFT) cardboard is also environmentally friendly. It does not pollute nature because of being biodegradable, it can be composted or recycled. Certified boxes of unprocessed cardboard can be made from raw material extracted from a responsibly managed forest that is constantly replanted.
