Superb recycling characteristics Beverage cartons are as versatile in disposal as they are before use. They are suitable for all local and national collection and disposal schemes: whether for materials recycling or incineration with energy recovery. Even in the event of landfill in areas where there are not yet recycling facilities, flattened beverage cartons take up a minimum of space. Simple recyling process In many nations, the recyclability of manufactured products is a political and social challenge. The recycling of beverage cartons is a simple process that is well established in numerous countries. New, stable paper-based products such as folding boxes and reel winding cores are made from the long, rigid cellulose fibres. The residual mixture of polyethylene and aluminum also has useful potential, for example, in the cement making industry. Requirements for successful recycling A key requirement for successful recycling is a functioning collection and sorting system for used packages. The organization and implementation of national legislation of collection and recycling varies from country to country. SIG Combibloc is actively engaged in the creation and expansion of national collection systems, adequate recycling capacities and advanced recycling technologies for beverage cartons. |
