Each year, UK beverage carton manufacturers produce 55,000
tonnes of paper-based cartons for milk, juice, sauces and other
liquid food/drinks. This equates to around 2.3 kilograms of cartons
per household. These carons could be recycled instead of thrown in
the rubbish bin.
In response, Newham is working with Tetra Pak and the carton
industry body ACE UK (Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the
Environment) to set up carton collection points at key recycling
points, for residents to take their empty cartons to be
recycled.
Once collected, the cartons can be taken away to be baled and
transported to a recycling mill. They can be recycled into a number
of different products, ranging from plasterboard liner to
high-strength paper bags and envelopes.
Tetra Pak can give you more information about recycling liquid food
cartons on their website.
