Because they can sell them. Recycled cardboard has a value now if you have a large enough quantity.9ball wrote:I always remember supermarkets having a big pile of cardboard boxes for customers to take stuff home in. Seems to make sense; the box gets reused before being recycled, the supermarket gets to recycle their boxes for free and the boxes would be going to the supermarket anyway so there is no extra CO2 cost. Does anybody know why shops stopped doing this?
