Although many of us have been trying to sort waste conscientiously for several years, this issue is still raising different doubts. For example, we often ask ourselves: Where should we throw out the carton from milk? In our article you will find the most important information about this topic.
In accordance with the principles of a single waste sorting system, there is currently a division into 5 fractions: Yellow container (metals and plastics), blue container (papier), Green container (glass), brown container (bio -waste) and Black container (mixed waste).
And even though the sorting of waste has been mandatory in our country for several years, some doubts arouse waste such as milk cartons.
Cardboard packaging from milk – what to do with such waste?
- Milk beverage cartons are an example of a multi -material packagethat is, made of at least two different materials. Have an internal coating of foil and polyethylene, Therefore, they should be thrown into containers for metals and plastics that are yellow.
First, we need to pour their contents and flatten the cardboard to take up as little space as possible. It should be added that the same rule applies to the juice boxes.
What additional waste are we throwing into yellow containers?
In yellow containers for metals and plastics, we should also throw the following things:
- aluminum cans from drinks,
- plastic bags and shopping bags,
- plastic bottles and packaging,
- plastic and metal bottle caps,
- crucibles and other containers,
- Household chemical packaging and some cosmetics.
Much of the products, especially natural, has glass packaging. Therefore, we throw such cosmetics into green glass containers. In the case of glass and plastic packaging, we must remember one important matter. We use creams, balms and other cosmetics so that the packaging is empty before throwing it out. However, empty packaging is thrown into glass or plastic.
