environmental benefits
The Square Drum from Carré Karton, crafted from 100% mono-material Kraftliner, provides a practical and sustainable solution to the waste challenges associated with empty drums. Unlike traditional round fibre drums, which are composed of hard-to-separate materials such as cardboard, plastic, metal, and hardboard, the Square Drum is designed to be easily recycled as part of the paper waste stream.
Kraftliner is responsibly sourced from replanted trees, making the Square Drum not only environmentally friendly but also CO2-neutral and FSC-certified. To further simplify the recycling process, Carré Karton offers a convenient drum press that compacts used drums, allowing for efficient disposal through the paper waste system.
