Following significant investment from our members and our work with Local Authorities and others, the overwhelming majority of UK Local Authorities now recycle liquid cartons, either through household kerbside collections or ACE UK’s own bring bank network. The Government has also confirmed that cartons will be included in the core list of recyclable materials that all English Local Authorities must collect from households at the kerbside starting from 2026, under Simpler Recycling reforms.

How are liquid cartons recycled?

The baled cartons are dropped into a pulper, which resembles a giant food mixer. They are pulped with water for around 20 minutes, which delaminates the packaging, breaking it down into a slurry.

The different layers of material are then separated, and the fibre is recycled at the on-site paper mill.
