recycled cardboard

Secondhand paper-based packaging

Recycled cardboard is paperboard material made from recovered cardboard and paper products rather than virgin wood pulp.

It appears in packaging, shipping boxes, and consumer products marketed as environmentally friendly: The company switched to recycled cardboard for all its packaging.

The material may be slightly weaker or darker than virgin cardboard but serves most of the same purposes.
