Carton Recycling

The very versatile carton

Cartons are generally made up of 75% paperboard, 20% polymer and 5% aluminium – all of which are recyclable. The paper fibres can be turned into anything from paper towels and serviettes to coreboard, and the polymer and aluminium can be either converted into raw materials or used for things like garden furniture and building materials.

Considering in the UK, we use 57,000 tonnes worth of cartons a year – the equivalent to 348 blue whales – this is very good news indeed. And is a prime example of why we should never underestimate its value.

Proud to be the nationwide bring bank collection service provider in UK /600+ sites across UK:

With all of the above in mind, we’re incredibly proud to be the nationwide bring bank collection service provider for The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) UK – the UK’s only carton recycling facility.
