1. Are Cartons Recyclable?
Yes! Made from mostly paper, the high quality materials used in cartons make them very desirable for re-manufacturing into new products.
According to the Carton Council, curbside recycling for cartons has increased 128 percent in the last three years; meaning over 40 percent of U.S. households can now recycle them.
