OCC- Old Corrugated Containers

Recycling of Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) is the process of collecting and reprocessing used corrugated boxes, which are made from recycled paper fibers. This type of recycling helps conserve natural resources and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. OCC can be easily recycled into new corrugated boxes, paperboard, and other paper products, making it a valuable resource for the paper and packaging industry.

Additionally, recycling OCC also reduces the energy and water needed to produce new paper products from virgin fibers, making it an environmentally friendly option. Overall, recycling OCC plays an important role in maintaining a sustainable environment and supports the circular economy.
