As part of Tetra Pak’s efforts to increase the recycling rate of Used Beverage Cartons (UBC) in Singapore, we focus on raising consumer awareness, sharing our knowledge and expertise, facilitating collection infrastructure and supporting recycling technology development through community recycling activities.
When recycling Used Beverage Cartons (UBC), we encourage people to rinse & push the straw back or put the cap back on the package and do the 3Fs – Flip. Flap. Flat before dropping it off at the recycling drop off center. The recovered materials can be made into notepads, roofing sheets and school benches.
Jurong Cash-For-Trash Community Recycling Programme
Tetra Pak started working with the Public Waste Collector of Jurong on Community Recycling Programme since 2013. The recycling initiative is to promote Used Beverage Cartons (UBC) recycling awareness. The number of recycling collection points in Jurong under the programme will be extended to 30 and will be held every 1st Sunday of the month.
