recycling tetra Pak
Just found a link for recycling tetra pak whilst researching an article. It is a PDF file of labels to use when posting tetra pak to be recycled.

It UK only, I guess there are other ones in other countries too.

Sounds like a good plan Jessica!!
I spotted a log maker the other day in a catalogue that was made using dry paper/junk mail/twigs/cardboard/wood chippings/dry leaves etc in a tube type contraption - when we moved in we inherited about 20 whisky tubes that I thought we could use - depends what they are made of I suppose.

G'DAy All,
The idea of the lady in Ireland is OK so long as the smoke cannot come into contact with the food. The organic chemicals and aluminium oxide released by the burning process may not do you a lot of good!

Not much good at all, but the small amount she would burn would be far more nasty in direct contact with the food, for her personally. Obviously it would be better to recycle rather than burn

G'DAy M3,
Yeah, that's them. The problem is usually trying to separate the thin aluminium layer from the plastic layer from the paper layer. It requires a certain type of technology to do it. Yes we can recycle them too!

Is it a dumb question then, to ask why they make them in the first place? I think I need to go and have a look at stuff in my fridge, I wonder if my apple juice has aluminium on the inside of the carton. I'm trying to think what kind of stuff is packaged in these packs and if I actually have seen them in France. Just wondering out loud now!

I always wish that fruitjuices etc were available at a reasonable price in glass bottles - preferably returnable ones - but only the luxury stuff comes in glass. Buying juice concentrate (in bottles) and watering it down myself is an option; but so far I've only seen apple and pear concentrate here. Does anybody know if there's orange or grapefruit around as well? That would save quite a bit of waste!

The stuff packed in tetrapak tends to last for quite a long time, and I suppose that is what consumers and producers want!
