1000 Flowers for the Planet - #613 Beware Aseptic Packaging

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #613 Beware Aseptic Packaging

Aseptic packaging is used for products like juice boxes, long-life milk containers, soup containers, wine boxes – products that generally have a longer shelf life. The problem with aseptic packaging is that it is hard to recycle and there are few recycling plants that can handle the process, so generally the packaging ends up in landfill. As landfill is a huge issue, and packaging is mostly a single use product that eats up our natural resources, the planet would be able to breathe a lot easier if we tried to avoid aseptic packaging.
