Why is it accepted to buy f.e. Milk in a tetrapack packaging, when you can really hardly recycle it? I went to the deponiestelle of my gemeinde and they didn’t accept it and said I have to throw it in the normal garbage. I could have searched for a deponiestelle or groceriesstore like coop or migros that accepts tetrapack, maybe drove 30 min to throw it away so that it can be recycled… in the end i’ve wasted (literally) 6 chf worth of sacks… wouldn’t it be more practical if Milk was sold in aluminium cans? I mean terapack is just hard glued aluminium with cardboard right? What would speak against using only aluminium to store Milk? Wouldn’t that make it more “environmental friendly”? Wouldn’t it even be cheaper then tetrapack? submitted by /u/No_Combination_6429
