Tetra Pak recycling initiative at SHC

Everyday students and teachers use and discard items which are stored in Tetra Pak packages. Many manufacturers and packagers of fruit juices and milk products use Tetra Pak packages for their products.

Tetra Pak Packaging material (From Tetra Pak’s website)
The main material in all our packages is paperboard. We use just enough to make the package stable, without adding unnecessary weight. Paperboard is a renewable material, made from wood.
Paperboard
Paperboard is the main material in our cartons. It provides stability, strength and smoothness to the printing surface.
Polyethylene
Polyethylene​ protects against outside moisture and enables the paperboard to stick to the aluminium foil.
Aluminium foil
Aluminium foil protects against oxygen and light to maintain the nutritional value and flavours of the food in the package in ambient temperatures.

  • The used Tetra Pak packages will be soaked in water to separate the paperboard from the plastic and aluminium layers. The paper content can then be turned into new products like toilet paper, tissue and notebooks. The plastic and aluminium can also be recovered to make things like roof tiles or plastic pots. The following individuals have made this project possible at SHC:
    Principal Pt. Gyandeo Persad, Vice Principal Pt. Ishwar Madho Maharaj, Mr. Rajin Singh, Ms. Alana Gajadhar, Ace Recycling and Ms. Tisha Maraj (Consultant)
