Corrugated cardboard Is a familiar sight It Is used for packing almost anything from cor parts to stereos to fridges and stoves It is relatively light and takes up little space Because of its frequent and varied use recycling seems the obvious solution to a pollution problem caus ed by an excess of Ihe product Now Is time for the industrial and commercial sectors of the region to reduce the amount
