As a result I've been considering options of how to eliminate this problem. And of course the simplest solution is to not buy anything with TetraPak anymore. What would it take for SF to start up a program that takes TetraPak?

I have been trying to find a redemption center in the area (I live in Maine) that will recycle the tetra pak, but no luck. I think this is a huge problem, one that needs to be solved! Tetra pak cartons are used nationwide in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes; however, there is no nationwide recycling program for that material.

This includes Tetra Packs. More governments, such as USA and Australia need to enforce recycling so that there is incentive not to just throw containers in the landfill, or worse, on the side of the road!!

They will start up recyling centers and team up with others that make so much packaging. The Tetra-paks of the world will soon become more accountable for their packaging.
