This box factory in Sri Lanka is now making a special product - cardboard coffins. They are made out of recycled paper and cost a sixth of the cheapest wooden casket. With the country reporting record high coronavirus-related deaths lately, the cardboard coffin, which costs about $22, has become an affordable option for poor families who have lost their loved ones.

A cardboard coffin can hold up to around 220 lbs, and can be put together in about 30 minutes. Initially the coffins were mostly used for for COVID-19 victims, but they are also a "greener" option.
