Unpopular opinion: My store's cardboard pile showed me a gap in green startups.

I see stacks of cardboard every day at my hardware store that just get recycled, not reused. It made me think startup founders could make real money by finding new uses for this kind of waste. Like, a company could turn old packaging into cheap building materials or insulation. That's a fix for both trash problems and high material costs for new businesses.

Moisture ruins most cardboard reuse plans fast.

Yeah it's wild how many things moisture just wrecks. I see it all the time with wood and paper stuff too, it's like this quiet destroyer of good intentions.
