Despite the claims that “Boxed &lb; Water &lb; Is &lb; BetterTM”, there hasn’t been a popularized apparatus to reduce the end-of-life impact of Tetra Paks by burning off the cellulose fiber, melting/pyrolyzing the polymer layers, and reclaiming the aluminum foil.
But it’s still hard to say whether the embodied energy ratio per liter of product is any better, especially because I don’t have a source on whether the thin films more quickly break down into microplastics.
