Recycling - How to break down TetraPak - all you need are: scissors,sharp fingernails and 10minutes: it is not easy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take the empty container and cut it into manageable pieces. Then carefully peel the paper from the silver backing.









Remove the plastic lid - One piece for recycling!








Impossible task - peeling off the plastic coating around the lid








The silver stuff (i am still not sure what it is)

After 10 minutes this is the end result! 

This is the problem with tetraPak.  It makes the content of the packs easy to store but afterwards difficult to dispose of.

Another point is that if I decide to buy milk in plastic bottles (there is nothing available in glass) then the price is nearly double, so it raises the weekly food shop bill by quite a lot for a family of 4 (for example).  At the moment because of one thing or another the cost of living is high and most people are naturally buying the cheaper things.  

Cutting down on dairy is another option!
