However, not all cardboard boxes can be recycled!

“When we examined our everyday use of

cardboard, we became aware of the quantity of
packaging materials we should recycle, appalled at
the amount of material we couldn’t, and frustrated
by an inability to reuse most of it,… “We were
disheartened that recycling cardboard is a
completely inefficient process.” - Dave
Siedzik, Designs Researcher
