So this is basically a fluff piece for Tetrapack. They designed a package that is incredibly hard to recycle and do the bare minimum in order to maintain good faith with the public. If they want to make a difference, they have to account for the entire life cycle of all their product. Its insane that they make such an environmentaly hostile product, and this video calls the recycled bricks "eco" products. This video puts the onus of change on the individual and communities, while the root cause of the issue is the product design. Tetra pack makes a fortune with this product, while communities around the world foot the bill to recycle complex products. Oh, but it's cool cause tetra pack finances a couple recycling programs here and there. This video is essentially a big PR ad for tetrapack.

Y'know... Hre in Finland we just recycle them back in to cartons. The thing with this "recycling" is that it doesn't reduce the need for virgin materials. If they had WTE plants to incinerator with scrubbers, there would be no need to landfill most things. This isn't a solution, it is just ensuring that no recycled material can go back in to the material stream.

School Milk used to be a thing in the UK too, until the CONservative government of the late '70s did away with it to cut the education budget. It's why Margaret Thatcher became known as _„The Milk Snatcher“._ 🥛💨🇬🇧 I benefitted a *lot* from that programme - Heck; I choose milk over soft drinks even today, in my mid 40s! - And would very much like to see it return. But definitely _not_ in single-use containers like we see here. In the UK we had 1/3rd pint (190ml) glass bottles for school milk, which - Like the glass bottles used in many countries - Were rinsed, sterilised and then reused many times over. One UK school milk bottle probably kept over a ton of Tetra Pak out of landfill, y'know... 👍

As you said, it’s solution made solely for the company to continue to make their flawed packages rather than spend the money to change them into something much more easily recyclable and impactful.

But why is this recycling program that was started by Tetra Pak in 2006 in Thailand not at least collecting in and processing near every major city globally 16 years later? And what do we do with these building materials when they are eventually degraded and broken or abandoned? So it sounds like a good start but I have questions.

It takes 500 cartons to make one 2kg brick. They can process “thousands of cartons per day.” Can they be more specific? If by “thousands” of cartons do they mean a less than ten thousand? Im assuming so because they didn’t say “tens of thousands” or hundreds of thousands.” Less than ten thousand would be just a few square feet of brick pathway per day. Basically we are seeing a big factory with a bunch of employees using a lot of energy to make a tiny amount of bricks from a small percentage of discarded tetrapak cartons. How stupid is that?!?
