About

***WINNER OF BEST CIRCULAR ECONOMY INITIATIVE FOR REUSE AND REDISTRIBUTION AT THE NATIONAL RECYCLING AWARDS 2025*** Passionate about environmental sustainability and proud to be part of a pioneering family company that has been turning cardboard waste into reusable material on a large scale since 1952, without the need for any mechanical processing: no baling, no pulping and no manufacturing. We work with some of the world's most famous brands to meet and even exceed their commitments to reducing waste and limiting resource depletion. We buy used and redundant cardboard boxes and work with companies to put in place waste segregation processes to ensure a smooth transition towards diverting boxes to reuse. Our scheme is... - More reliable (prices are stable) - More financially rewarding (we pay higher rates) - More sustainable (reuse is better for the environment) Reduce waste and reap financial rewards by selling used or redundant boxes to Sadlers.

      Sadlers is the largest processor of used cardboard boxes in the UK with reuse schemes in place with many of the country’s largest food, drink, manufacturing and distribution organisations. As well as processing used boxes we buy redundant stock and surplus boxes together with a variety of other packaging related items. Our aim is to ensure that cardboard boxes in a reusable condition are not baled and pulped as this process is a huge waste of energy and resources. It's critical for the environment that waste is handled in the most responsible way possible, and our reuse scheme also offers financial rewards that make reuse the clear choice for used cardboard boxes.
