As individuals, most now understand that most plastic and paper materials can be recycled. However, when the two materials are bonded together for gable top cartons, such as milk and juice cartons, is there a recycling facility near you or are they destined for the landfill?
The Quality of The Packaging Is Paramount
Due to the type of product being filled in gable top cartons, it is essential that the packaging is both strong, high-quality and aesthetically pleasing. The products, milk, and juice have a relatively short lifespan both in the grocery superstore and in your refrigeration unit. Where the item is cooled, it will be found in the chilled sections in your store.
Depending upon your choice of a packaging company, some cartons will be made from a mixture of paper, plastic, and aluminum. They are layered together to make a strong container, yet easy to manage to move liquids from one location to another without spillage, and ensuring that they are sealed effectively against poor bacteria and pathogens after being filled. The gable top cartons for refrigeration will be layered plastic and paper.
Thinking Green
Millions of individuals now separate their plastic, paper, glass, metal and other items, before returning them to a recycling center. While consumers ‘think green’ and consider the environment before purchasing a product in modern times, they also require the packaging to be available for recycling to cause less harm to the environment.
Milk and juice were traditionally transported in glass containers. This is both more expensive than modern variations and more susceptible to damage.
When you discuss your gable top cartons with your packaging company, you can insist that the products are created from material that can be recycled when the product is empty.
Many individuals will claim that milk and juice cartons cannot be recycled, but this is mostly incorrect. It is essential to remove the plastic spout and recycle this separately with plastic after rinsing the carton to reduce the potential buildup of odor while the carton is stored before being moved to recycling.
