Yes, Tetra Pak® cartons are recyclable!
We're committed to carton recycling and work to promote and encourage more effective, widespread recycling programs. In 2009, Tetra Pak joined together with other carton manufactures in the U.S. to establish the Carton Council, an organization committed to limiting the number of cartons that become waste. Through this unified effort, we seek to build a sustainable infrastructure for carton recycling and continue growing carton recycling throughout the U.S.
