CARDBOARD
PAPERBOARD
CORRUGATED CARDBOARD
CORRUGATED FIBERBOARD =
PAPER SANDWICH
STIFF, STRONG, LIGHT-WEIGHT PACKAGING MATERIAL
HISTORY INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION _ DEMAND FOR GOODS INCREASED,SO DID THE NEED FOR A LIGHTER MEANS TO TRANSPORT AND PROTECT THEM.
FLIMSY SHEETS OF PAPER CRIMPED INTO REPEATED UNDULGING PATTERN,CREATING MORE RIGID,STRONGER MATERIAL FOR PACKAGING FRAGILE GOODS. 1856- EDWARD C.HALEY FILED A PATENT AND USED UNDULATED PAPER AS A LINER FOR TALL HATS 1871 - NEW YORK- ALBERT JONES ADDED A SINGLE LINER SHEET TO ONE SIDE OF THE UNDULATED PAPER AND USED IT TO WRAP JONES’ BOTTLES AND GLASS LANTERNS. 1874 - OLIVER LONG ADDED LINER SHEETS TO BOTH SIDES.THIS IS CORRUGATED CARDBOARD THAT WE KNOW TODAY. 1890 - BROOKLYN- ROBERT GAIR-PAPER-BAG MAKER INVENTS BY ACCIDENT A CARTON MADE OF PRE-CUT FLAT PIECES
PRODUCTION PULPING PROCESS
pine trees
cellulose (plant fibers)
Removing lignin.
wood pulp
CHEMICALS USED IN KRAFT PROCESS (There are 13 other methods of pulping using different chemicals) SODIUM SULFIDE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NaOH) (most of these chemicals,together with lignin and lye are recycled in a furnace causing air quality problems and global warming)
PRODUCTION WOOD PUPL IS PUMPED TO THE PAPER-MAKING MACHINE.NEXT PAPER IS FED INTO MASSIVE, STREAM-HEATED ROLLERS AND FELT BLANKETS THAT REMOVE THE WATER.
PRODUCTION IN ANOTHER MACHINE PAPER IS CORRUGATED AND 3 SIDES ARE GLUED TOGETHER WITH STARCH GLUE (AND OTHER CHEMICALS) ,THEN BEND AND CUT TO THE APPROPREAT SIZE.

RECYCLING
RECYCLING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD CAN BE RECYCLED 7 TIMES BEFORE FIBERS ARE TOO SHORT TO BE USED AGAIN.
RECYCLING 1 TON OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD SAVES 17 TREES
7 000 gal WATER
462 gal OIL
3 qubic yards OF SPACE IN A LANDFILL according to PaperTrail.com
31,4 MILLION TONS OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR (according to Environmnetal Protection agency)
RECYCLING PROBLEMS WAXY CARDBOARD BOXES 5% OF THE PRODUCTION
LANDS IN LANDFILL
WATERROOF CAOTING APPLYED TO CARDBOARD: -laminating with plastic film -curtain coating (spraying) an exterior plastic coating to the cardboard -impregnating with hot wax substance. Wax is a petroleum-based product NONE OF THESE SUBSTANCEC CAN BE RECYCLED !!!
