Tetra Pak Recycling: The Complicated Economics Of Drink Containers
While straws from carton containers do contribute to the amount of plastic in the environment, such pollution is a drop in the bucket compared to the ways that, at present, the pollution from cardboard drinking cartons themselves because few of these get recycled, and the detritus from these cartons may pose a bigger threat than plastic waste in many locales.

Among those memories was a fall morning many years ago, the day I came to appreciate the technical knowledge and skills required to continue wearing clean clothes.
