Have you ever thought about what happens to the cardboard you put in the recycling bin? Have you ever thought about all these retail stores doing everything with all cardboard? Well, once the boxes are crushed, they are sent for recycling, the cardboard is actually worthwhile, and there is a shortage, and most of the containers that are ultimately "empty" are shipped back to China. The Chinese are huge buyers of our recyclables, including cardboard. Most of the boxes we mail or deliver are made from recycled materials, but not all.
In fact, our think tank was discussing this issue not long ago. We did a small experiment. One of our members told us that he saw a stamp on one of his cardboard boxes - made in the US, and it is a virgin. Cardboard, not from recycled materials, we did make something between the plane and the hamburger in the United States. I told our think tanks; "I am very happy to see that your Virgin cardboard boxes are actually made in the US because I believe you are the same."
Is there a better way to recycle cardboard to make it more powerful in the next round? If we add ingredients because it is broken down during the recycling phase and then in the next recycling stage, it may require a different process than the current one, although if the added ingredients are broken down, dissolved and precipitated, such as a transparent packaging tape in a very similar In the process, we can win in this way. No need to upgrade.
Still, if we need to upgrade, we will drive the Chinese out of their games, which means we have to start processing cardboard from here, because they don't have facilities, we can ship the product rolls in the cargo container. Instead of crushing and bundling the cardboard boxes with the straps. What if we can add rubber stocks from old tires?
If the rubber remains evenly distributed in the covering, sometimes it doesn't need to be done too much. The finely ground sawdust is highly flammable, but it is very rich around the prefabricated components of the building, the lumber yard, and the furniture factory [unfortunately, very few Some people stay in the US - the North American Free Trade Agreement sends them to Mexico, but now in Asia. Therefore, sawdust is a rich material. Is there no strict regulation on sawdust in the United States? I mean OSHA, EPA, fire protection. Rules, etc. Extracting the rubber you mentioned from old tires would be great, despite the strength of the toxins + steel radial tires in the rubber melt - which is certainly a factor to consider.
