1. Sustainability first

Cardboard is produced from cellulose. Unlike plastic, which depends on fossil resources and generates high greenhouse gas emissions, cardboard has a renewable cycle and lower environmental impact.

Furthermore, it is biodegradable, returning to the natural cycle when disposed of correctly and preventing soil and ocean pollution.

2. Recyclability and circular economy

One of the main benefits of cardboard is its recyclability. In Brazil, around 64% of the paper and cardboard produced is recycled, while in Europe this number reaches 82%. With the recycling process, used material is transformed into new packaging, reducing the need for virgin raw materials and saving energy.

Cardboard can be recycled up to five times without losing quality, reinforcing its role in the circular economy and ecological packaging.

4. Innovation in strength and functionality

Cardboard has become increasingly resistant and versatile thanks to new technologies. Moisture, oil and vapor barriers allow replacing plastics without compromising product protection. The inclusion of recycled fibers also increases the positive impact of the material, making it even more competitive as high-performance sustainable packaging.

5. Strategy and value positioning

Choosing cardstock is also a strategy. Eco-friendly packaging conveys values such as responsibility, innovation, and respect for the environment — attributes increasingly valued by consumers, retailers, and investors.

Sustainable cardboard combines all the characteristics that modern consumers look for in packaging: recyclability, biodegradability, safety, versatility and design possibilities. By adopting it, companies reduce their environmental impact, meet market demand, and contribute to a greener and more ethical future.

If the goal is to combine innovation, responsibility, and a circular economy, cardboard packaging is the right choice — and the future will thank you.
