Cardboard

What's happening with Pap

As of 1 October 2025, the fraction is partially covered by producer responsibility legislation. BOFA will then only be partially responsible for the collection and baling of the fraction.

The producer, or a company hired by the producer, is responsible for the recycling or reuse of the part of the waste fraction that contains packaging cardboard after collection/balling.

The remaining part of the fraction is sold via Danfibre to Skjern paper factorywhere it is recycled into new cardboard products.

OBS: Cardboard must be clean and dry, as wet or dirty cardboard, e.g. greasy pizza boxes, can ruin the recycling of clean and dry cardboard.

Please note

Loose cardboard should be placed in the container/environment. Fold cardboard boxes flat, and tear/cut/snip large pieces of cardboard into smaller pieces (A4 size maximum) before placing them in the container/environment for cardboard. Be careful not to compact the cardboard too much, as it will be difficult to remove from the container again. Large cardboard boxes must be taken to the recycling centre or via the bulky waste collection scheme.
