How to recycle Tetrapak packaging

Step 6 6- The final products

I processed 15 tetrapaks, you can see from the photos now they consume very small space, i can store them one on top of of each other. Putting a weight on helps them to become flatter.

OK now, what can we do with these;

Tetrapaks are, waterproof & lightproof, i am going to ducktape them together and use them as a reflector but i need more. Maybe they can also be used on rooftops.

I have plans for the caps also, i think i am going to make a 3d art piece with them, but i haven't decided yet.

You can fire up your barbecue with remaining cut off pieces, or store them in an other tetrapak for later recycling.

If you have some brighter ideas please share.

I hope you enjoyed my instructable.

For a cool use of recycled Tetrapaks check out Doy Bags:

Yeah they are cool, but i think doy bags are different from tetrapak. They are basicly aluminium foil fused with polyethlyene. They are more flexible and thiner than tetrapak. And also there is no paper layer in them. Tetrapaks are more rigid and thick. Totally 6 layers of aluminium, polyethlyene and paper fiber mix.
