Aside from the reuse thing mentioned in the other comments, if you’re asking why we bother to recycle instead of just letting it rot then its most likely because the process isnt instantaneous. If you put cardboard in the dirt it will break down rapidly but only compared to plastics which take an eternity to break down. Plus theres so many additives in that shit to make it not breakdown in water. its like a piece of paper. Made of wood so it Should be completely fine for the earth right? Nah, its bleached to hell to look white instead of natural so thats just leeching everywhere.
