folding containers as packaging for relatively large bundles are conventionally sent to the refuse tip after use . the invention is to provide a reusable and largely recyclable folding container . for this , at least the side walls made of plastic are designed with hinge strips , consisting of the same or a similar material , for the connection of said side walls . a version with a so - called tray is also possible . in this case , one part of the folding container consists of paperboard and serves for receiving smaller packs , whilst another part , made of plastic as described previously , is designed with hinge strips and is therefore reusable .
