Cardboard is not only environmentally unhealthy but also can harbor mold! Mold is known to cause respiratory problems, common allergic reaction symptoms, nervous-system disorders, and depression. For those sensitive to molds, it can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or in some cases, skin irritation. Mold grows well on cardboard that has been exposed to moisture. It is recommended to replace your cardboard storage boxes with reusable plastic to ensure a mold-free environment.
Amatech produces packaging that does not support mold growth or emit paper dust or sulfur contaminants, Plastic Corrugated packaging is washable, and can even be sterilized, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, biotech, electronic, automobile, and general manufacturing and storage environments and some clean rooms. Paper corrugated (cardboard) boxes are not appropriate as storage units in medical or clean supply rooms. Paper corrugated shipping boxes are not permitted in either clean or sterile storage areas. Why? Because, the boxes may harbor dust, bacteria, and small insects that have entered during shipping. Besides the “critters” inside these boxes, they can be physically dirty, dusty, wet, and moldy from the transportation route. There’s just no telling where these boxes have been! Paper corrugated boxes are exposed to unknown and potentially high microbial contamination and should never be allowed in sterile storage areas.
