From now on,
South Hams residents can recycle the coated food and drink cartons in their
blue recycling sacks.
We recognised that lots of residents were frustrated at not being able to recycle cartons, until now they could only take this kind of packaging to recycling banks and recycling centres.
It's easy to do in just two easy steps;
First, rinse and squash the
carton then pop them straight into the blue sack. Caps can be left on, because
these are removed during the recycling process.
The cartons
collected in the UK go to the carton recycling plant in Halifax. The process
takes advantage of the strength and quality of the wood fibres found in cartons
by turning them into industrial-strength cardboard. This is then made into 100%
recycled tubes and cores which are used as centres for wrapping products such
as cabling, plastic film and wrapping paper.
