According to Tetra Pak's® website, the recycling rate is currently 26% worldwide for all Tetra Paks. This low recycling rate is due to the fact that there are very few recycling facilities that accept tetra paks for recycling, which means the Tetra Pak's® will be thrown away in the garbage.

Can you recycle Tetra Pak products?

​​​​​​​​​​Afterall, all Tetra Pak used beverage cartons are fully recyclable. The paper, polyethylene and very thin layer of aluminum can all be recycled.

Is Tetra Pak plastic or paper recycling?

Tetrapaks are made from 70 to 90% paperboard which is recyclable just like any other paper or card. The reason that Tetrapak cartons cannot be included with our normal paper recycling is the aluminium foil liner and polyethylene cap included with the carton.
