Why Choose Recycled Cardboard
Custom Recycled Cardboard Packaging | PCR Content Board for Sustainable Brand Packaging
Recycled cardboard is produced using post-consumer recycled (PCR) fiber -- paper and cardboard collected through curbside and commercial recycling programs, processed back into fiber, and manufactured into new paperboard. Recycled cardboard enables brands to make documented, substantiated sustainability claims on their packaging with certified recycled content percentages that comply with FTC Green Guides and international equivalent regulations governing environmental marketing claims.
Recycled Content and Certification
Recycled cardboard is available in a range of post-consumer recycled content percentages from 30% to 100% PCR. The PCR percentage is documented through manufacturer certification that identifies the specific content percentage, enabling packaging claims like 'Made with X% post-consumer recycled materials.' For sustainability claims to comply with FTC Green Guides, the specific PCR percentage must be documented rather than general recycled claims made without substantiation.
Print Quality on Recycled Cardboard
Recycled cardboard's print quality depends on its manufacturing grade. Fully clay-coated recycled board (CRB/CCNB grades) provides adequate print quality for most consumer goods applications. Uncoated recycled board has a rougher, more natural appearance that communicates recycled content through its visible material character -- appropriate for brands where the visual communication of recycled material is itself the desired aesthetic.
Substantiated vs. Unsubstantiated Sustainability Claims
The FTC Green Guides require that recycled content claims be substantiated with specific documented percentages rather than general environmental claims. A packaging claim of 'recycled packaging' without documented PCR percentage is considered potentially misleading under the Green Guides. Recycled cardboard with certified PCR content documentation enables the specific, substantiated claims -- 'Made with 80% post-consumer recycled materials' -- that satisfy both FTC requirements and the increasingly sophisticated scrutiny of sustainability-aware consumers who have learned to distinguish credentialed sustainability from greenwashing.
Recycled Content as Circular Economy Participation
Recycled cardboard packaging participates in the circular economy at two points: it uses recovered fiber from previous packaging life cycles as its raw material, and it is itself recoverable for recycling at end of its own life cycle. For brands that communicate circular economy values as part of their brand positioning -- using resources efficiently, keeping materials in productive use, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials -- recycled cardboard packaging is a material choice that credibly demonstrates these values through the packaging's documented material composition.

Recycled Cardboard Packaging in West Palm Beach — FAQs
What is recycled cardboard?
Recycled cardboard is produced using post-consumer recycled (PCR) fiber -- paper and cardboard collected through recycling programs, processed back into fiber, and manufactured into new paperboard. It enables brands to make documented sustainability claims on their packaging with certified recycled content percentages complying with FTC Green Guides.
What recycled content percentage should I specify?
The appropriate PCR content percentage depends on the brand's sustainability commitments and the available grades for the specific application. 30-50% PCR is available in clay-coated grades with good print quality. 70-100% PCR is available in grades with progressively more natural appearance. Higher PCR content generally supports stronger sustainability claims but may affect print quality.
Can I claim my packaging is made from recycled materials?
Yes, with certified documentation of the specific PCR percentage. FTC Green Guides require that recycled content claims specify the percentage rather than making general recycled claims. We provide manufacturer certification documentation for all recycled cardboard packaging orders enabling compliant recycled content claims.
Does recycled cardboard cost less than virgin fiber board?
Yes, typically 10-20% less per unit area due to lower raw material cost. For high-volume packaging programs this cost advantage combined with sustainability credentials makes recycled cardboard a compelling specification choice.

Our minimum order is 100 units for custom recycled cardboard packaging. All orders include manufacturer certification documentation for recycled content claims.
