Finally, what is the situation with Tetra Paks, or fibre-based composites, as I should probably call them? Tetra Paks are 75% cardboard, 20% plastic film and 5% aluminium. I probably buy a few hundred cartons every year, out of the 2.2 billion sold in the UK, but I hate them, since it is impossible to recycle them in our area. I know that a few specialist recycling organisations can do Tetra Paks, but if they are impossible to recycle normally will they be included in the EPR scheme, if not in the deposit return scheme? I do not know whether Tetra Paks will be in the deposit return scheme, but we need action on them to make sure that those 2.2 billion cartons are properly recycled.
