Recycling of aluminium contained in used aseptic beverage cartons is a difficult task which has nevertheless to be tackled by modern societies. Techniques have earlier been developed by the paper and pulp industry for the recycling of the board fibers from collected post-consumer beverage cartons. A joint technical feasibility study by Graenges and a leading beverage carton producer has dealt with different techniques for handling residues from repulsing facilities. The aluminium obtained can be used as raw material for the production of thin gauge foil, thus closing the recycling loop.
