Cardboard is one of the most widely used packaging materials – and one of the easiest to recycle. Understanding the differences between corrugated and paperboard cardboard helps businesses implement effective waste management strategies.
Corrugated cardboard has a fluted middle layer, making it strong and ideal for shipping, while paperboard is a single-layer, lightweight material used for retail packaging.
Corrugated is more durable and widely recycled, whereas paperboard is suited for lighter applications. Keeping both types dry and uncontaminated maximizes recycling value, reduces waste, and supports a circular economy.
