Glass Beer, Wine, And Soft Drink Bottles

Glass beer, wine, and soft drink bottles

Aluminum Cans

Aluminum Cans

Aluminum cans are melted, and new, consumable beverage aluminum containers or cans are manufactured. 95-99% of the collected cans can be recycled.

Plastic Containers and Milk Jugs

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Clear Plastic Containers

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Clear Plastic Containers

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) transparent plastics are recycled into flakes or pellets. New food-grade plastics are manufactured from pellets and flakes – and of course, for modern clothing and carpets.
Tetra Brik

Tetra Brik

Tetra pack containers go through a hydro-pulping process to separate the paper, plastic, and aluminum. As a result, 80% of the pulp is used to manufacture paper products, and the other 20% of plastics and aluminum are recycled further.

Gable Top

Gable Top

The paper and plastic in these products are separated through the hydro-pulping process. Tissues, cardboard, and writing paper are manufactured from paper pulp.

Bi-Metal

Bi-metal cans are recycled into car parts and grinding rods for mining by smelting them. Only 5% of the total weight turns out to be labels, paint, and contaminants.

Pouches

Pouches

Drink pouches are incinerated and used as a source of heat energy. Because of their texture, bag-in-a-box containers are recycled into cardboard and other tough paper objects.
