- culturestate 7y agoIf it's made correctly, yes. Pizza boxes aren't (because they aren't coated, so the oil soaks in), but e.g. orange juice cartons are.
- ubercow13 7y agoOrange juice cartons are surely plastic-lined or foil-lined too though
- culturestate 7y agoRight, which is why recyclability depends on the way they're made. The PE formulation used for things like juice cartons in the US can be broken down when the cartons are pulped.
