    Why are tetrapacks so good?

    I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can’t be recycled?

    As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.

      Probably that ultimately even disposing of laminated paper is more environmentally friendly than the process of recycling energy-intensive materials like glass and plastic.
