Many dairy products retail in cartons, cups and other formats designed to be recyclable. But even though Americans indicate they are still recycling these and other containers, they have little confidence that their recyclables actually get recycled, according to a new national poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy on behalf of the Denton, Texas-based Carton Council.
The Carton Council has been working over the past 10 years to not only increase carton recycling access, but also work with the recycling industry to help facilities and communities get the most out of carton recycling. This includes support and guidance on the best ways to sort food and beverage cartons, as well as assistance in educating residents that cartons can be recycled and turned into new products.
