Apply the 3Rs principle:

1- Reduce:

  • Talk with your suppliers to avoid unnecessary packagings

2- Reuse:

  • Reuse as filler for parcel

3- Recycle:

  • Recycle with relevant waste company

Cardboard is easily recyclable. It can be recycled up to 5 times.

38%

only of paper and cardboard are recycled in Singapore.

46 gallons of oil

saved along with 4000kW of electricity, 9 cubic yards of landfill space, 17 trees and 7000 gallons of water saved by recycling one tonne of cardboard rather than making new cardboard.
