{"product_id":"food-beverage-cartons","title":"Food \u0026 Beverage Cartons","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarton recycling has improved greatly in the past several years, likely due to investment by the carton manufacturers themselves. By \"cartons,\" we are referring to containers like milk, juice, and broth cartons, both the \"gable-top\" kind used for refrigerated items (milk, juice, creamer, egg substitute) and the flat-top kind used for shelf-stable products (broth, wine, soy milk). Unfortunately, ice cream and other similar food cartons cannot be recycled as easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartons contain multiple layers of material (paper, plastic, and sometimes aluminum). Traditionally, the components have been separated. Paper can be easily reused. The plastic and aluminum are less valuable but may find a second life in pallets, crates, furniture, and tiles. A new development in carton recycling is shredding the whole cartons, then heating and pressing those pieces to form large, moisture-resistant sheets, which can be used in roofing and other building applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMilk, Juice, and Broth Cartons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eRecycle these at Full Circle Sustainability as part of their \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fullcirclesustainability.org\/products\/recycling-service\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"premium recycling\"\u003c\/a\u003e program. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIce Cream and Similar Food Cartons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eRecycle these at Full Circle Sustainability as part of their \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fullcirclesustainability.org\/pages\/terracycle-program\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTerraCycle program\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Full Circle Sustainability","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916875100296,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6587\/4824\/files\/Food_BeverageCartons.png?v=1775703492","url":"https:\/\/fullcirclesustainability.org\/products\/food-beverage-cartons","provider":"Full Circle Sustainability","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
