What happens to the material?
The material is compressed and baled at the receiving and sorting plant of SORPA at Gufunes in order to reduce its volume. It is then
transported to Sweden for further sorting and recycling.
Recycled flat cardboard is used to manufacture e.g. cardboard that is used to make new packaging.
