Paperboard Boxes/Tubes

Paperboard is a single layer of pressed boxboard and is typically used for retail packaging. Some examples of paperboard packaging include cereal, tissue boxes, bakery boxes, and cake mix boxes.

Consider art and science reuse projects with littles before recycling. If food-soiled or wet, compost paperboard. Paperboard covered in metallic foil belongs in the garbage.
