not much. In a way they are not that much cheaper. Sure they grow faster. however harvesting and processing them form the raw material to ready to use fiber. Takes a lot more work. like for the wood of 1 tree trunk you might need up to 50 bamboo shoots. the shipping of said bamboo will require more overall transportation.

The trees used for pulp production grow pretty quickly. You plant new ones every year so you have a continual supply. People sometimes think we are cutting down redwoods for newspaper which is definitely not the case. If you’re interested checkout fungi packaging. It will probably make sense so long as pests don’t find it attractive to eat.

I have a bone to pick with what you say at 6:08. It is not a matter of "despite the antiquated rail network of the US". Rail freight in the US is cheaper and more reliable than just about anywhere else in the world. It is only "antiquated" if you are comparing it to HSR like the LGV--which are designed to move relatively few people over relatively short distances in a relatively small amount of time, rather than move many thousands of tons of cargo over many thousands of miles. They are different systems, with different purposes and different economic consideration. I know it's trendy to dunk on the US for the lack of intercity passenger rail, but it comes off as uninformed when you apply the same stereotypes to rail freight.

I was in Corrugated for 4 years as a Packaging Graphic Designer in print quality control. I worked closely with the Structural Designer of various boxes we made. I’d like to push back on the source of strength of the box being “triangular.” As I understand it the strength of the box comes from the flutes, or ARCH-like shape that is formed by heating up the paper and running it through Combining rolls. The associate images when learning the process were colonnades or examples of Roman aqueducts. Not all walls of the box are made equally as flutes run in one direction. The walls that have vertical running flutes are the strongest load bearing sides.

The companies that make the kraft paper (Fiber board) are numerous. The largest here in Florida is Container Corp. which owns huge swaths of land in Florida & Georgia to grow the Southern Pine trees used for paper. The other companies include Rayoneer, Jefferson Smurfitt, Seminole Kraft (Formerly St. Regis) and Hercules. These are just the ones I know of. Jacksonville used to be known for "The stink" from the raw paper plants located here: St. Regis, Alton Box, Container Corp. and the Union Camp turpentine (Made from the pine tree bark) plant which was once used for sewage treatment. The smell was from the caustics (Alkaline bases) used to break down the wood chips into wood fiber pulp. St. Regis (Now Seminole Kraft) switched to recycling and still operates today. The turpentine plant is still operation but seems to have made changes to reduce the smell.

Great job sir. There are currently more trees in the United States than there were in 1900. The old growth forests and hard woods which take hundreds of years to grow are not used in paper production. The fibers are shorter - the quick growing trees have longer fibers - but they should be using hemp, it takes less energy to process, has long fibers, and most often does not require any brightening (Peroxide Bleaching currently used for wood pulp) Westrock - Westvaco & RockTenn - both very old companies which were themselves combinations of other companies, the last 40 years of the paper industry have seen a HUGE consolidation from many private family owned companies to publically held massive companies. Gulf States was acquired from the founding family by Rock Tenn, which was then acquired by Westvaco. Mead Containerboard was acquired by Westvaco a decade prior. Gilman Paper was sold by the family , Federal Paperboard was sold to International Paper by the founding family. Union Camp & James River Corp became part of Georgia Pacific which was taken private by the Koch's. Champion Pulp and Paper was sold to management and they divested part of the operations. I missed more than I mentioned... My grandfather designed built and then acquired mills for Caraustar Industries, his first job was rebuilding the boilers for the only mill in the late 1940's. they owned Star Paper Tubes and Paragon Plastics and were acquired by Grief Brothers Box in the past 15 years. My father and I converted warehoused processed bleached paperboard seconds /joblots for 25 years, (been retired near 15 years) we bought sold machinery and paper to India, Phillipines, China, Korea, Vietnam, Estonia, South Africa, Central and South America, Canada and the entire United States mainland. I sold a few hundred tons a week to China. 600 tons a month of gypsum wallboard facing into Russia through Estonia.

I am a fan of recycling cardboard as a construction material. It really is far more sturdy than most people think. Not only is it great for general crafts, it makes great lightweight shelves, drawers, end tables, and even other furniture. As someone who has arthritic and elderly family members, having lightweight items around the house makes it easier for them to move them around if they need. Cardboard with a greater percentage of recycled pulp tends to have a grayer color, and is a bit weaker, but nothing a few coats of PVA glue and layers of Kraft paper or paperboard can't fix! The real jackpot is when I find a nice bit of honeycomb cardboard from a TV box, that stuff is so strong. Ikea even uses a form of it in some of their cheaper desks.

Great video!! It seems like it‘s still very much unknown that not all cardboard can be recycled after use. Cardboard that got in touch with food and oils actually harm the recycling machines and therefore belong into the general waste, which means it‘ll be burned or put on landfill. So it‘s really not as sustainable as one might think. I‘ve especially focused on this issue with pizza boxes and have therefore created a reusable option (PIZZycle). It‘s actually much more sustainable, even though its made from plastic!!! Food for thought :)

Clear-cutting still occurs, and biodiversity/carbon emission concerns still remain. (Though the concerns of petroleum-based alternatives are definitely still overwhelming.)

Logger here. Actually wood used for pulp is waste wood from the process. In western us and Canada at least. The wood was just burned in giant slash piles with other waste. Also on thining jobs the smaller trees that cause over crowding can’t be used for boards so pulp is perfect. These smaller trees cause massive forest fires. It’s a good thing and good for the forests

If u would like more information on forestry practices more then welcome to hit me up on how stuff is done. The forestry industry gets a bad rep from past practices but loggers care about the forest more then anyone against logging. Shoot we choose to work in it 😂

​@@tpbforlife3323 Heya! Thanks for dropping this comment, and sorry for the late response. I actually started taking a course at our forestry department (UBC) to get a better idea of how forestry is conducted here in BC/PNW. Selective thinning within natural forests I do see many benefits in, as well as using wood waste as pulp instead of burning on-site. On the production side, two of the things I'm still trying to wrap my head around is the clear cutting of virgin boreal for toilet paper (wondering whether recycled paper could make up a larger share of the pulp used) and clear cutting of old growth for wood pellet fuels (e.g. Drax). I recognize these aren't necessarily the goals of the majority of foresters, but do these practices make sense from the forestry perspective? If not, are there steps that other folks working in forestry/timber product management are looking to take to change that?

I live in a little hamlet that transforms virgin trees into lumber & container board (at one time it produced the most lumber for housing in the world!). The latter puts out an unbelievably awful smell (that fortunately doesn't go over my house very often, but still enough that I have to tape my windows to keep out the smell), but I put up with it because the housing prices are super rock-bottom.

I assume that most cardboard is not recycled cardboard, unless it specifically says so, but I do notice some cardboard which I can tell is made from recycled cardboard just by looking at it. Some fast food burger cartons, and the occasional liquor carton brand, and so forth. It has that identifiable look. I used to consider pizza boxes made of recycled cardboard as being remedial creative disposal, but it is high consumer turnover and so is actually sound recycling.

It’s because the video software being used kind of just reads the text and tries it’s best to pull up whatever stock footage it has in its database. It’s how a lot of KZbin videos are made. It just gives basic pictures or clips to look at. I doubt he is personally finding and putting in clips on his own.

You pay for that box, then you pay again to get rid of it. I notice stores won't take the card board back that they ship to recycle it. Some times the box costs more than what inside it. So many times a small iten is in a box 10 times the size. The people making the most money are the ones who own the forests.
