Recycled Board Packaging

Recycled board can reduce demand for virgin fibre while delivering practical strength and print performance across cartons, mailers and presentation packaging.

Recycled kraft board packaging material
Specification guide

Choosing the right option

Recycled content is available across kraft, solid board, corrugated liners and greyboard cores. The appropriate grade depends on appearance, food-contact needs, strength and finishing.

Environmental claims should match supplier evidence and the complete pack, not the board alone. Windows, laminates, adhesives and inserts can change the final recycling route.

Frequently asked questions

Recycled Board Packaging FAQs

Does recycled board look different?

Natural recycled grades can show fibre and colour variation; coated grades can provide a brighter, more consistent print surface.

Is recycled board always recyclable?

Not automatically. The full construction, coatings and local collection system determine end-of-life options.

Can it handle premium printing?

Yes. Coated recycled boards and printed wraps can support detailed graphics, foil and other finishes.
