Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box processing technology, specifically to a splicing type environmentally friendly corrugated cardboard box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mainstream corrugated cardboard boxes rely on plastic tape or chemical adhesives for assembly and sealing. Plastic tape, being non-biodegradable, creates mixed pollution after the boxes are discarded, significantly increasing recycling and sorting costs. Furthermore, residual tape damages the pulp fiber structure, causing a decrease in the strength of recycled paper by more than 20%. Chemical adhesives, on the other hand, contain volatile organic compounds that continuously release harmful substances during storage and transportation, posing potential safety risks to packaged food products.

[0003] Traditional cardboard boxes use a one-piece glued structure, with side panels, bottom panels, and lid glued together as a non-removable unit. When a part of the box, such as a single side panel, is damaged due to impact or moisture, the damaged panel cannot be replaced independently and the entire box must be discarded. Statistics show that this structural waste results in approximately 30% of paper materials being discarded due to partial damage, causing significant resource waste. Utility Model Content
