Now that you’ve recycled your used beverage cartons, what exactly will happen to them?
- Recycling – This part is easy, thanks to you!
- Re-pulping – Empty cartons are mixed with water in a giant blender to separate paper fibres.
- The by-products – Recycling cartons result in two products: polymers & aluminum, and paper.
Polymers & Aluminum – Extracted polymers and aluminum are processed as a composite material, or separately, and then used to make a variety of new products.
Paper – Pulp is dried and pressed into high-quality fibre to create new recycled paper products.
