- kgabis 3y agoDo they? Tetrapak is "14% plastic sheets, 5% aluminium, 6% from a bio-plastic cap and 75% cardboard". Putting things in yellow bin doesn't mean that they won't be incinerated, majority of plastics either gets burned or ends up in landfills.
- timbit42 3y agoMilk bags are better for the environment than cartons or jugs, even if you landfill the bags and recycle the cartons and jugs. Bags have less plastic than jugs (thinner, softer) and cartons are difficult (eg. expensive and resource intensive) to recycle because the inner and outer layers of plastic are difficult to separate from the cardboard.
