Environmental benefits: Carton recycling is important for a number of different reasons: it helps to save resources, reduce landfill and reduce your carbon impact.
How to recycle: It may come as a surprise to some that cartons are recyclable – they are collected in most Local Authority areas across the UK. Tetra Pak is working hard to ensure that more people are able to recycle their cartons in the UK. To find out where you can recycle cartons use their interactive map.
However, there are still a few areas that do not offer this service yet; you can post your clean, flattened cartons directly to Tetra Pak’s collection site for recycling. You can download postage labels from their website, but be aware that it is not a freepost service.
