Most milk containers can be recycled. Plastic (HDPE or PET) containers can be recycled easily when cleaned properly. Tetrapak containers have a process where the aluminium and cardboard is separated from the plastic for recycling.

∙ 9y agoMilk containers are of several types:
- Glass bottles can be cleaned and reused, Chipped bottles are used as scrap glass
- Plastic milk jugs are not considered cleanable so they are ground into plastic scrap for reuse in non-food applications
- Waxed or plastic impregnated paper containers are used in industrial processes, not reused
- Plastic, foil, paper laminates (tetra packs) are the most difficult to recycle. This is due to the difficulty of separating the component parts. The present status of this recycling is limited and often described as "under development" by the manufacturer.
