New Recycling Recommendations Help Climate Efforts

摘要

Paperboard packaging with a thin plastic barrier is an ideal compromise which combines paperPoard's stiffness for the construction with plastic's impermeability for such purposes as a longer food lifespan. This type of packaging reduces the use of plastic and has far less climate impact than the equivalent packaging made only of plastic. However, opinion has been divided over whether and how this type of packaging can Pe recycled. The answer depends mainly on which technology is available in each local market. This has been the case in the UK, which has lacked clear advice on how packaging made of such combination materials should be recycled.
