Corrugated box is a product made of paper. We all know that the production of paper needs to use a lot of wood, so many people think that its use of wood is a waste. In fact, this kind of carton product is really an environmentally friendly product, because the raw materials of corrugated box are not what we think, and simply consume a lot of wood. The raw material of corrugated box is actually pulp. There are many materials that can be used as carton. For example, straw, wood, waste paper, wheat and orange, etc. After beating these materials into pulp, they can be used to make cartons. And its environmental protection characteristics have the following four aspects.

1.具有可食性

1. Edible

这里说的可食性不是说纸箱是一种可以当食品的东西。从技术角度讲，绿色包装是指以天然植物和有关矿物质为原料研制成对生态环境和人类健康无害。瓦楞纸箱如果被小动物误食了，也不会对小动物的身体造成影响。

The edible here does not mean that cartons can be used as food. From a technical point of view, green packaging refers to the development of natural plants and related minerals as raw materials, which is harmless to the ecological environment and human health. If the corrugated box is eaten by small animals, it will not affect the body of small animals.

2.瓦楞纸箱可回收利用

2. Corrugated boxes can be recycled

瓦楞纸箱具有很高的可回收性，很多的拾荒者都会捡纸箱去卖给废品站。包括瓦楞纸箱厂家在生产纸箱的时候产生的纸板废料和报废纸箱都会打包卖给废纸回收公司。这些废纸都会运输到纸板生产企业，通过造纸工序，重新打成纸浆制作瓦楞纸。

Corrugated boxes are highly recyclable, and many scavengers will pick them up and sell them to the waste station. Including the cardboard waste and scrapped cartons produced by corrugated carton manufacturers in the production of cartons will be packaged and sold to waste paper recycling companies. These waste paper will be transported to the paperboard production enterprises, and then beaten into pulp to make corrugated paper through the papermaking process.

3.瓦楞纸箱具有较强的降解性

3. Corrugated box has strong degradability

大家都知道，塑料包装是一种很不环保的包装产品，这是因为塑料包装降解性，埋在地里，几年后挖出来都可能是好。而瓦楞纸箱的降解性是比较强的，即使有人随意地在野外丢了一个瓦楞纸箱，也不会对环境产生什么影响，因为它已经被自然分解。

As we all know, plastic packaging is a very environmentally-friendly packaging product. This is because plastic packaging has low degradability. It may be good to bury it in the ground and dig it out a few years later. The degradability of corrugated boxes is relatively strong. Even if someone randomly loses a corrugated box in the field, it will not have any impact on the environment, because it has been naturally decomposed.

4.瓦楞纸包装可有用降微生物交叉污染从而延长保质期

4. Corrugated paper packaging can effectively reduce microbial cross contamination and prolong the shelf life

有相关的数据表明，瓦楞纸箱包装的果蔬相比，塑料包装的果蔬通常会比瓦楞纸箱包装提早48~72小时达到腐烂水平。使用瓦楞纸箱代替传统的塑料箱包装水果，可以显著减少潜在的微生物污染，保持果蔬的新鲜。

Relevant data show that compared with fruits and vegetables packed in corrugated boxes, fruits and vegetables packed in plastic boxes usually reach the decay level 48 ~ 72 hours earlier than those packed in corrugated boxes. Using corrugated boxes instead of traditional plastic boxes to pack fruits can significantly reduce potential microbial pollution and keep fruits and vegetables fresh.
