Drink carton

Sorting waste can be quite complicated sometimes. That's why EcoScan helps you make separating your waste easier and more fun!

Which container do you put your milk carton, juice carton or custard carton in? Not sure? Watch the video and find out! Drink cartons often end up in the wrong bin because they are made of paper. But there is more in them than just paper. As a result, whole loads of waste are rejected and costs go up enormously.

It's important that waste ends up in the right container. This prevents a whole truck full of reusable raw materials from being rejected and ending up in the incinerator. Separating your waste means it can be recycled better. That's why it's important to sort your waste properly. This way we support the circular economy, and that's better for our planet.

Finding it hard to separate your waste? Download the EcoScan app and use the waste sorting guide. Scan the product's barcode or take a photo, and we'll tell you which container the waste belongs in.
