Folding cartons are recyclable as part of the paper stream collected from private households.

All the analyzed folding carton types revealed that the fibre component of the various folding carton packaging can be fully recycled. As expected, the pulp yield was reduced only by the proportion of non-paper product components, e.g. plastics from barrier coatings or window materials.
