Tetra Pak® Carton Recycling Process

- Yes! Tetra Pak® cartons are recyclable! Learn more about the carton recycling process and the different paths a carton can take once placed in your recycling bin.
I'm pretty sure in Canada these go into the landfill. We sadly wouldn't have any fancy facilities to separate these bonded materials and I've never seen any of the roof systems or wall board sold here.
I have a question please how much net water is used to recycle one tetrapac
How much electricity is used in this process per unit
I noticed that you call your product a carton but there is also plastic and aluminum liner if I'm not mistaken where do we separate and ship those elements of the packaging
I appreciate your answers
Thank you for your question. On average, our cartons are made of about 70% paperboard.
Our cartons follow one of two recycling paths. On one path, the cartons become building materials. This process presses the paperboard, plastic and aluminum into boards and does not require any water.
On the second path, the cartons are sent to a paper mill where the fiber is separated from the plastic and aluminum components using a piece of equipment called a hydrapulper. Hydrapulpers are commonly used in paper mills for pulp production and many of these systems recirculate water to reduce overall consumption. The plastic and aluminum material left over from the pulping process (aka PolyAl) is either being disposed of in landfills or being used as a fuel for waste-to-energy, however, the Carton Council group is working with multiple entities to develop a use for the material in manufacturing.
At the paper mill, recycling cartons requires a similar amount of water and electricity as other similar fiber-based materials.

My town says they are not recycled
I don't think my city recycles these - they accept paper, glass, and plastic 1,2 and 5. Even if it ends up in a landfill, however, I feel like this is still better than most plastic jugs that rarely get actually recycled anyway. The paper and metal parts will biodegrade leaving a small amount of plastic compared to the typical jug for milk. I would love to see us go back to glass. There are a few brands around that do that.
Same question as Peachland Taxi. What about plastic and aluminum?
They have answered it under his comment.
in germany we mainly burn them in cement factories as replacement for carbon. only 17% are recycled (2014). I wash them and sort them. in our recycling yard we have a special container just for tertra packs, thats good.
so micro-aluminum ends up in paper and boards?
What happens with the plastic and foil sheeting in the milk&juice boxes?
Tetrapack is mostly a scam, they rely on a process called “greenwashing” to sell packaging to companies so customers buy their products thinking it’s good for the environment.
If the Tetrapack packaging you sorted into recycling is lucky, and your local sorting facility supports it, it **may** get sent to a facility in Mexico where they’ll cut them up and reuse some of the materials into filler material for construction or whatnot, ironically at a huge environmental cost, and the plastic parts go to landfill.
Tetrapacks aren’t actually recyclable.
@@ethaneveraldo Thanks. This is a sad realization of years of even stripping the plastic bottlecap from tetrapack boxes and dropping them to the plastic waste.

I mean, it doesn't get more than their own reply to show how inaccurately pessimistic your comment is. Moreover the fact that building materials are harmful to the environment doesn't mean that there isn't good in using recyclable materials on them. The net damage to the environment decreases this way as the damage from construction is yet to be reduced by technology and well, we still need to make houses. Tetrapak is not a scam.

@@lefterismagkoutas4430 This is a comment section on UA-cam so you’re completely free to express your opinion and disagree with me, but I’ve been inside recycling facilities where they sort the tons of trash that flows in everyday, and the whole thing is a mess. Tetrapack’s model is terrible in my opinion. The facility needs to work directly with Tetrapack for them to be shipped and hopefully reused, but it’s very difficult for them to tell what is Tetrapack and what isn’t, especially since so many packagings look just like them but aren’t, and the sorting people don’t have time to inspect each individual packaging, they only have a split second to sort them from a fast moving conveyor belt.
I would steer clear from Tetrapack if you care for recycling, and look for something that’s easy to sort and recycle by most sorting facilities, like cardboard, glass, cans, and maybe plastic #1, #2 and #5 if your local community supports it, but in general stays as far away from anything plastic as you can. Only 5% of sorted plastics actually end up recycled, the rest is compacted and sent to landfill.
Interesting! So how much tetrapak is produced worldwide everyday? How much are you able to recycle?
None, its just for marketing purposes
Exactly what I thought@@puffinjuice

New Zealand does not have recycling facilities to recycle tetrapak. So it isnt recyclable!
