Interesting! Yeah, please update / comment if you find anything.

Uhhhh, I’d be veeeery interested in knowing percentages for recycling of Tetra pak style packaging. Their website makes it sound like it’s super easy to recycle them but I’d think it would be almost impossible to get this glued together mess of paper, plastic and other stuff recycled (I’d love to be wrong about that, obviously). I also read somewhere that there’s like one plant in the UK that can actually recycle these but no idea if that is accurate.

This is fascinating! Do you have any numbers on how much of the plastic that is put into recycling bins is actually getting recycled? I’ve read very low numbers like 3 - 10 % but don’t know if accurate or still up to date.
