Recycling Guide - Paper and Cardboard​

Waste paper is a raw material and not waste. Through improved technologies, the proportion of waste paper in the various types of paper and cardboard can be steadily increased. Contrary to popular belief, a paper fiber can go through several recycling processes. Recycling paper and cardboard is more environmentally friendly than producing new fibers. The energy and water savings are considerable, and at the same time waste paper is a cheap raw material without which the Swiss paper and cardboard industry could not exist. The collection rate is around 86%.
