How do I go green?

Reduce

Larger cartons now come with resealable lids. Instead of purchasing a supply of small cartons, get a large one to keep in the fridge and drink from cups or refillable containers.  Switch to a glass bottle soya milk provider, where your empty bottles will be reused at least a dozen times before re-entering the recycling cycle.

Reuse

Cutting open Tetra Pak drink cartons reveals the silver interior, which can be a desirable material for kids crafting projects. There are number of websites outlining how to make a Tetra Pak wallet and other cool crafts from an old carton.

Recycle

Clean Tetra Pak containers are now accepted in the CRD blue box with your other containers.  Most bottle depots will also accept clean milk and milk substitute containers for recycling as part of a product stewardship program for recycling such containers.  All empty milk, cream, and milk substitute (soy & rice) beverage containers (plastic, cartons, and jugs) are included in this voluntary industry-run program. Containers include both polycoated and paper board containers like Tetra Paks or aseptics and gable top cartons.  Go to Encorp for more details.
