This heavyweight paper becomes a primary material for eco-friendly design


Implications - Cardboard has typically been used for things like food takeout containers, shipping boxes and the like, but over the course of the year, designers have been applying it to everything from architecture to branding.

The use of cardboard seems to have no bounds, especially as designers and companies get more creative with it.
