Some common items of liquid paperboard include soy and almond milk containers, as well as cartons of juice and stock.
Once you drop off your used cartons and containers, these are collected and sent up to saveBOARD’s manufacturing plant in Hamilton, where it will be processed. These items are then turned into low-carbon building materials.
How to prepare your Tetra Pak cartons:
- Cut along the top and sides of the carton
- Open up and flatten
- Rinse out and dry
