I would be surprised if the production of a cardboard box is carbon-negative.

edit: I had to look.

Some article suggesting cardboard is worse than plastic:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/mar/31/plastics-cardboard

A site that says the CO2 emissions for cardboard generation is: 3.3 kg per kg:

Europeans really getting into the details:

I don't think cardboard counts as sequestration.
