>it would be better to re-use cardboard

Having worked in a few warehouse shipping centers, most of the boxes we get ourselves, we reuse to ship out. Doesn't even matter if it originally came from our factories. Amazon box? Ship out with it. Box from some random employee's home? Ship out with it. Rarely do new boxes get used. Only boxes we recycled were damaged boxes and when we positively just don't have any place to store the cardboard.

As a consumer, I've received parcels from smaller businesses that have been wrapped in probably 6th hand cardboard, by the look of it.

I'm not complaining. Reusing is much better than recycling

That actually endears me to businesses doing it.
