Coronavirus Could Spark Cardboard Shortage in UK

SEATTLE (Waste 360): The coronavirus outbreak is having an impact on many industries across the globe, and in the UK, the recycling and packaging industries are concerned about a looming fiber shortage.

Many local councils have suspended recycling collection, causing used paper and cardboard to be sent to landfill, according to a report by The Guardian. If these actions continue to ramp up, the shortage is expected to become a reality.
