How Recycled Fibre Strengthens Eco-Friendly Double Wall Packaging
Recycled fibre in double wall boxes: sustainability without sacrificing strength.
Recycled content in double wall
Quick answer
Most UK double wall board already contains 60-80% recycled fibre and performs adequately for most applications. 100% recycled content is available at minimal premium. The strength reduction (10-20% vs virgin) is compensated by the double wall construction itself. For maximum strength with sustainability, use kraft liners (virgin) with recycled fluting medium. This provides full strength where it matters most (liners) with recycled content where it matters least (fluting).
Performance with recycled content
Compensated by double wall construction.
Strength where needed, sustainability where possible.
The double construction compensates for fibre differences.
Eco: recyclability or longer life.
Sourcing
Request recycled content documentation from your supplier. Specify the mix you need: 100% recycled for maximum eco, kraft liners + recycled fluting for maximum strength with sustainability. Most suppliers accommodate both.
