It seems like a lot of toxicity warnings are based on an industrial scale so I’m curious about the impact of using a couple printed boxes, versus the impact of the next laziest option: synthetic landscaping “fabric” or that thick black plastic material.
There’s another option though. Any paint store/ department sells rolls of plain brown paper for use as a dropcloth. That’s what I use instead of cardboard. It’s not particularly expensive, and it’s as easy to roll out as landscaping fabric.
If you’re thinking of using paper or cardboard make sure that the inks and adhesives used in it are biodegradable and non-toxic.
