A few months back I made a couple of posts about recycling Tetra Pak containers. Since these posts I've noticed an increased interest in recycling Tetra Pak and the good news is that the people at Tetra Pak have doubled their efforts to allow people to recycle the containers.
First off they have re-launched their Tetra Pak recycling web site with a nice new design (interesting video on the front page), but most importantly they have added a section where you can check to see if your local council have a collection scheme, which is very useful.
They have also got together with ACE (Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment) to offer
cost neutral bring bank solution to all local authorities that are not yet collecting cartons
Which should mean that local councils now have no excuses when they are asked to provide people with Tetra Pak recycling facilities.
All in all this is a great push forward from Tetra Pak and ACE in taking responsibility for making sure their products don't end up in land fill sites. I think the next move they could make would be more public advertising of the fact the facilities are available. At current the only way a lot of people will find out this information is if they actually go looking for it.
So check out the Tetra Pak recycling web site today to find out where you can recycle in your area.
