Because paper is the easiest thing to recycle. It has one component, wood pulp fiber. Another reason is that is if we didnt recycle cardboard, china wouldn't have anything to package their products in, as they are the number one consumer of recycled cardboard and purchase it from other countries to ship back to China. Another reason is because boxes take up a lot of space in a landfill. See the related link for more information.
