♻️ Smart circular packaging starts with fit-for-purpose design. This is exactly where corrugated cardboard outperforms.

Cardboard can be customised to protect a huge range of products, all the while maintaining the high levels of protection.

When it comes to corrugated cardboard, it's all about scale.

βœ… It's collected, sorted & recycled at scale in Europe

The result? Fibres are kept in use, again at scale

Maximising recycling? It's a highly effective way to drive the #CircularEconomy.

electric guitar made of air and recycled cardboard plays as functional musical instrument

What’s the most surprising thing you’ve seen made from corrugated cardboard?

What about a guitar? 🎸

That's exactly what Burls Art did, building a fully functional instrument from cardboard. It's ultra-light & designed for real string tension.
