Recycling a carton is easy!
The entire Tetra Pak carton package, including the straws or caps are recyclable. Simply push the straw back in or keep the cap on the carton package after drinking, then Flip-Flap-Flat the carton before sending it for recycling. This helps reduce the amount of space the empty carton takes up and makes transportation more efficient.
Recycle Easy
Recycle Easy is a one-stop site that helps interested individuals, businesses and schools identify collection points for our beverage cartons. Supported by the CAREton Project, Recycle Easy was created to make recycling convenient and easy for consumers.
Check your local recycling facilities. There might be a recycling station nearby, or a street collection system in your neighborhood. If such facilities exist, but do not accept used beverage cartons, add them to our Recycle Easy map and we'll get in touch with them! We may be able to work with them together with the local authorities to improve carton recycling access in your neighborhood.

Turning used beverage cartons into new useful products
Recycling gives beverage cartons a new life, but have you ever wondered how? Follow the journey (pdf).
Reuse or upcycle used beverage cartons
Alternatively, turn your trash into treasures by reusing or upcycling your used beverage cartons into useful objects in your everyday life. Use old cartons as a mini bin in the kitchen for vegetable scraps and then add them to your compost. Or use your cartons as planters for your seedlings in the garden.
