Como ya sabréis, se trata de uno de los materiales que más utilizamos a la hora de entregar vuestros pedidos con el fin de reducir el impacto ambiental pero… ¿Sabéis cómo se recicla el cartón?

Vamos a conocer más de cerca su proceso y el porqué lo hemos elegido como packaging sostenible.

The Cardboard Recycling Process

To understand how cardboard is recycled, we begin with the first step—something many of you already do after enjoying your Healthy Poke meal: sorting your waste at home.

Cardboard should go into the blue recycling bin, specifically designated for paper and cardboard materials.

Of course, there are also creative alternatives for recycling—especially for DIY lovers. Why not repurpose a delivery box into a storage container or a decorative item for your home?

Back to the recycling process: once the cardboard is picked up by a recycling truck, it’s taken to a processing facility.

There, it’s placed in a container with water and heat, where it softens and breaks down into a pulp, thanks to industrial blenders.

Next, any non-cardboard components—like ink, glue, tape, staples, or labels—are removed.

The pulp is then mixed again with water and soap to give it the right texture, and it goes through various treatments depending on what kind of cardboard will be produced next.

Benefits of Recycling Cardboard

Now that you know how it’s recycled, let’s talk about why it matters.

The biggest benefit is a reduction in environmental footprint. Recycling reduces the waste that ends up in landfills and decreases pollution across the entire production chain—from manufacturing to transportation.

It also cuts down CO2 emissions, which is essential for fighting climate change.

In Spain alone, millions of tons of cardboard are recycled every year—making a real impact.

Recycling also helps save petroleum (used in the production of new materials) and creates green jobs by supporting a growing workforce focused on sustainability.

And let’s not forget the huge water savings—recycling cardboard uses far less water than producing it from scratch.

Most importantly, it helps prevent deforestation, protecting the forests that act as the lungs of our planet.

At Healthy Poke, now that you know how cardboard is recycled and its massive environmental benefits, it makes sense why we’ve chosen it for our sustainable packaging.

Every little effort counts in reducing our environmental impact—especially when it’s paired with delicious food!
