Get online stores to take back the cardboard boxes for reuse to save resources &less waste
The Issue
Online shopping has gotten so easy and popular! 40 percent of people with internet access shop online several times per month. Approximately 20 percent shop online every week.
In the U.S., 100 billion corrugated cardboard boxes are used every year.
The card board boxes we get from the packaging deliveries are mostly in good condition and Recycling them right away is like wasting Natural resources for Single Use, which results in cutting down more trees!
Why? Paper and Cardboard can only be recycled 5 to 7 times, after that fibers are typically too short to be recycled again. When cardboard breaks down in landfill it creates "Methane", a major greenhouse gas with the global warming capacity 21 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Making New cardboard from raw materials releases "Sulfur dioxide"!
If we put those card board boxes and the brown paper straight to the recycling after it got delivered,it is such a waste.
If the stores can provide an option for us to send them back to the warehouses or to their local stores to reuse, will save more trees and keep them from landfills too!!
