The Federal Office for Environment Protection set up an extensive ecological balance over beverage packing, from which it follows that it gives from environmental view between multi-path glass bottles and the one-way beverage cardboard a Patt.

According to data of the binary system Germany 2004 in Germany 155,000 t used beverage cardboards were collected, which corresponds to a ratio of approx. 65 %. The predominant part was used in two German paper factories: In Kreuzau with a plant of the paper factory Niederauer mill, a further recycling plant stands has its location in Raubling with rose home. More than 20 % of the collecting quantity in Finland in a recycling plant of the company Corenso United was again-used. The paper portions and/or the cellulose fibers are extracted after a wash process and used for the production of winding cores. Aluminum is recovered sort clean.
