Yes, all of the material contained in beverage cartons is recyclable. Typically beverage cartons are collected from consumers, according to the municipal rules, and sent to sorting centres where they are put into large bales and sold to recycling mills. Lucart Group mills process beverage cartons, by separating their cellulose fibres from polymers and aluminum using a water-based technique known as re-pulping. Once re-pulped, these fibres provide a valuable raw material for new tissue paper products, Lucart Professional EcoNatural line. Polyethylene and aluminum are re-used in other manufacturing activities as raw materials to produce not only products for the building, street furniture and everyday objects (such as pens, rulers, etc..) but even mooring poles in Venice.
