How is carton packaging recycled?

Carton is transported to a board mill, where any plastic coatings are separated for energy recovery and aluminium coatings for material recycling. The remaining carton fibre is used in the manufacture of corrugated board, packaging carton, envelopes, lamination paper and paper tubes.
