    Why are tetrapacks so good?

    I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can’t be recycled?

    As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.

      Probably that ultimately even disposing of laminated paper is more environmentally friendly than the process of recycling energy-intensive materials like glass and plastic.

        That’s because we didn’t move to nuclear like we should have 20-30 years ago+.

        There’s no excuse to be burning coal or oil at this point, at least in first world countries that have the money.

        We’re hitting issues with energy use because we didn’t take the upgrade path for our energy production that we were given because money.

        Eat your boss (sexually), and pat your landlord on the head. Or whatever it is that doesn’t piss the .world mods off.
