Corrugated boxes (also known as old corrugated containers or OCC) are
the largest segment of the packaging industry. More than 90 percent of
all products shipped to factories, warehouses, retail stores, offices
and homes are packaged in corrugated containers.
More than 1,600 box plants produce corrugated boxes. Often mistaken for
cardboard boxes, corrugated boxes are easily recognizable by their
fluted inner layer that is sandwiched between two layers of linerboard.
OCC's prevalence and the fact that the solid waste industry is focused
on the removal of post-consumer grades of recovered paper from the
waste stream, makes OCC an important grade to the solid waste management
industry.
It makes up approximately 60 percent of the tonnage collected by the
industry.
Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC-PSI #11):
Clean sorted printed or unprinted corrugated cardboard cartons, boxes or sheet,
must be Kraft or jute liner content. May contain staples or poly tape, must be free
of asphalt tapes and asphalt lined materials, may not contain more than 5% fiber
re-enforced tape.
