2. Description of the Related Art Used newspapers are used as recycled paper, as they are easy to recycle due to the advancement of deinking technology as well as being used as a recycled material for paper other than newsprint, in addition to the fact that the amount of used newspaper is collected in a single product. Be useful. Meanwhile, magazines and flyers,
Brochures and office waste paper are difficult to separate reliably, so their use in recycling is limited, which is one of the causes of waste paper waste.

[0003] Conventionally, used newspapers are stored for about one month at the reader's place, and tied with a suitable string in advance, stored in a paper bag or a used newspaper storage box distributed from a newspaper store. , But the paper is put out on the collection route, but papers other than newspapers such as magazines and inserts are often mixed.

Conventionally, various storage boxes for used newspaper have been developed and put to practical use.
None of them could function well in terms of ease of use and sorting of waste paper. On the other hand, when transporting articles, a box made of corrugated paper is often used. This box is lightweight, easy to handle, and extremely convenient, but after use, it is usually made of cardboard waste paper, and is also called a "return box" and is collected at the shipper. However, this is also undesired in terms of resource saving because it becomes waste paper after several uses.

[0005] Therefore, the cardboard box which has finished storing and transporting the articles is not required to immediately turn this into used paper.
If it can be reused for storing various kinds of waste paper, mainly newspaper waste paper, and if the box itself can be used as a raw material for waste paper when used for the purpose of storing waste paper, it will be extremely important in terms of resource saving. It is considered preferable. In addition, it is easy to determine that different types of used paper are mixed in the stored used paper, and when it is found that different types of used paper have been mixed, it can be taken out. An easy box would be convenient.
