Wiltshire Carton Recycling
People in Wiltshire are now able to recycle their Tetra Pak cartons for the first time.
Wiltshire County Council, in conjunction with Hills Waste Solutions, Tetra Pak Ltd and the carton industry body ACE UK (Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment), has started a new beverage carton recycling scheme this month.
Every year, UK beverage carton manufacturers produce approximately 55,000 tonnes of paper-based cartons for milk, juices and increasingly, even chopped tomatoes and wine. In response, Wiltshire County Council is working with the carton industry and has set up carton collection points at ten Household Recycling Centres for residents to take their empty cartons to be recycled. They can be recycled into a number of different products, ranging from plasterboard liner to high-strength paper bags and envelopes.
