Juice & Flavoured Milk Carton Recycling Facts

Here is a list of facts to support why recycling juice and Flavoured milk cartons is a good idea.

• Recycling juice and milk cartons is a simple process, taking about half an hour to complete. Water is added to the liquid paperboard cartons in a vat, separating the cardboard from the plastic and foil layers. A thick ‘slurry’ is created as the cardboard fibers ‘swell’ and are scooped out to be later turned into tissue paper, recycled paper and more cardboard.
• Cardboard that ends up in landfill dumps produces toxic methane gas; 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide for producing global warming greenhouse gas.
• Recycling cardboard into other cardboard and paper products saves trees from being cut down, uses less water and energy and dramatically reduces the chemical waste; a by product of making cardboard in the first place.
