In our post yesterday we told you about out bio-based milk packaging, an important follow-up to that project was the introduction of a carton recycling scheme in 2019.
When we introduced bio-based cartons in 2018 there was no facility on-Island to collect any type of carton for recycling. As part of our commitment to environmental improvements, we initiated our own carton recycling scheme making recycling points available free of charge at local Civic Amenity Sites, Tesco car park and other smaller sites around the Island. We also set up a doorstep recycling collection service in conjunction with Recycle Collect Limited.
Once the cartons are collected, they are delivered to Tel's Ltd where they are sorted and compressed before being shipped to a specialist recycling plant in the UK.
The Creamery covers the cost of the processing and transport of the cartons collected on the Island and last year our customers help us recycle over 45 tonnes of cartons!
