Cardboard boxes were really a very crucial invention. They have proven to be irreplaceable in so many situation for so many people for their cheapness, rigidity, they flexibility and the fact you can flatten them down easily. Without them we would still probably use wooden boxes which can't be recycled very easily, can't be flattened easily and are a lot more brittle than good cardboard boxes. With all this in mind, here is a look at some of the people who really appreciate cardboard boxes and in some roundabout way, love them just a touch.
Recyclers
As mentioned already, cardboard boxes are loved by recyclers everywhere. People who care about the planet are always looking for ways which we can create less waste that just sits in landfills doing nothing. Cardboard boxes are very easy to recycle and are often already made of recycled materials. Compared to many other packing materials they are a star.
ChildrenIf you can't afford to buy your child a fancy computer games system, you can always just get them a nice big box to play with. This may sound like a joke but the truth is that if you want to stimulate your child's imagination (which is in fact crucial for their mental development) you should give them something simple like a box and let their brains do the rest.
Pets
One of the best toys to give a cat, hamster or puppy is indeed a cardboard box. For cats especially the possibilities for entertainment with a box are endless. For instance, you may have seen the elaborate cat towers you can buy with velour coatings and elaborate lay outs. With a bit of imagination and some box tape, you can create a tower or 'cat fortress' of your very own that they will enjoy for a long time. The beauty is that even if they pee on it or rip it to shreds you just need to get some more cardboard boxes and build a new one. Even though they can't say it, you will be able to tell that cat's love cardboard packing boxes almost as much as kids love bubble wrap.
Movers
When people start planning a house move, you will find that they go on a unique and frantic search for cardboard boxes. This is usually because they are a last minute thought or because they realise they need a lot more of them than they had thought. When they find a good box which is the right size, movers always produce a big smile.
