Baled OCC means old corrugated containers, usually used cardboard boxes, that have been flattened, compressed, and tied into dense bales for easier handling, storage, and transportation. Businesses often generate OCC through receiving, packaging, and distribution activity. Baling keeps cardboard organized and prepares it for recycling markets where it can be bought, sold, and processed into new paper-based products.
