All paperboard made in Europe for liquid #cartons is from certified FSC chain of custody mills

Sustainability is about more than recycling… studies that consider the whole life cycle show that liquid cartons have a low carbon impact - bit.ly/37CRGCX #lowcarbon

Liquid cartons are largely made of #renewable and #sustainable resources. They’re also fully #recyclable. So why is it so important that more local authorities collect liquid cartons for recycling?

@CheltenhamBC @CleanGreenChelt @CheltBoroHomes @IzaacTailford @rowenachelt @PeterJeffries3 @iaindobielibdem @MartinChelt @LibDemVix @FloClucas @LFHW_UK @PaulJonesCOYS Why don't you accept juice cartons (Tetrapak)? It's quite difficult to find somewhere to take these for recycling

Please help us by recycling as much as possible using your kerbside collections. Many items can be recycled at kerbside including tin, plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, foil and food. Textiles, small electricals, coffee pods and batteries can also be left out for collection.
