Questions first, explanation underneath,
-
Are tetra-pak containers actually better for the environment? Or is it a bit of a con?
-
Would powdered Oat milk be better than tetra-pak, or other containers?
I’m getting into Oat milk, been a long time coming, finally just getting on and doing it.
We’ve ordered some Nimbus powdered online. But for now I’ve been drinking from the Tetra-pak Oat milks. Brands were Vitasoy and Oatley (apparently they’re shipped from Europe? Wtf?).
I looked up thinkstep anz’s comparative assessment of tetra-paks impacts and it comes out top. But this seems about as independent as a trouts flipper, so i’m not sure i trust their conclusion.
Any answers, or guidance would be muchly appreciated. :)
Many councils simply don’t recycle tetra-paks.
I take that to mean they’re a pain in the arse.
I was speaking to someone and apparently tetra-pak the company says they can be recycled, you just need super specialised equipment that no council is likely to invest in… so functionally, a pain in the arse sounds like the correct assessment.
