Read More →TetraPak is a wonderful invention. Now it is normally used in milk packaging, and the aseptic packaging can keep milk fresh for months without refrigeration. There are hundreds of products that are given extended shelf life with it. Perhaps it is better for certain foods than canning, like the tomatoes in Bonnie’s post, because it isn’t lined with epoxies made with BPA. And goodness knows, they put on a show of being green. In Europe, they are now using FSC certified wood in them. They use renewable energy to recycle them in Scandinavia (where they ship them all, after doing life cycle analysis showing that the carbon footprint of that shipping is low). They have websites in every country in the world touting how green it is. TreeHugger goes so far to ask Would You Drink Bottled Water If It Came in a Recyclable Paper Container? from a bottled water company that says “save the planet, one bottle at at time” as if drinking water packaged in it is actually a good thing. Triple pundit calls it “Packaged Sustainability.” When they do recycle Tetra Paks (which is rare, on their own website they admit that worldwide, only 18% of them are), what do they turn it into? In North America: toilet paper. If you can get it recycled. Only 20% of America has access to recycling facilities for TetraPak, the rest goes into landfill. Look at TetraPak in America, Canada or the UK. and you will see the most remarkable, expensive and elaborate campaigns to convince us that buying stuff in a fancy new TetraPak is green. Green is reusable. Green is refillable. Green is not disposable and down cylable, for the lucky 20% of Americans who have access to it, and landfill for the 80% who don’t. Tetra Pak is the most elaborate greenwashing scheme ever, and they are doing a very good job of it.
