Recycling
Polypropylene Hollow corrugated plastic sheet has high fluidity,and it can be melted down and easily recycled after its lifespan is finished.
The pulverized pellets of recycled materials are used to make factory pallets, and other familiar goods such as garbage bins and polyethylene buckts.
Cut – up and scrapped corrugated plastic is recycled into a multitude of new plastic products. Aside from being used as resin in factory pallets, it is also used in fuels.
The amount of CO2 emission for the production of a 40X40X40 cm cubic made from cardboard box is about 0.5 Kg for each.The amount of CO2 emission for a same size box from corrugated plastic is about 5 Kg , however if a disposable corrgated carboardbox, which is only meant to be used once, could be used ten times over, each use would constitute a reduction in CO2 emission, macking it a “green” product.
Cost
Cost merits
The cost of boxes is becoming cheaper
The cost of each becomes higher than corrugated cardboard boxes.
However, corrugated plastic differs from corrugated cardboard boxes in that as a strong box which can be reused roughly ten times over again, the running costs are ultimately cheaper than cardboard. If used conservatively, corrugated plastic boxes can be reused more than 30 times.
Reduce hidden costs
In considering prices, there are many other costs to consider beyond just the box itself.
| Sealing costs |
Costs for box sealing and the required processing and tools. In the case of corrugated plastic, sealing can be done simply with tape. |
| Ordering costs |
Ordering costs comprise a high amount of the hidden costs. Orders that can't be filled due to insufficient stocks, creation of order forms, and other order processing costs can mount up. |
| Maintenance costs |
Corrugated cardboard packaging is often sold in set lot amounts, requiring extra management for excess boxes in an order. Space for excess lot boxes also has to be alloted and managed. |
| Disposal costs |
Waste collection for disposable item also inters costs. |
Yearly supply and distribution costs for heavy-duly corrugated plastic boxes are far cheaper than those of corrugated cardboard.
