Many people are having a huge misunderstanding every time they throw away the carton

When throwing milk in a paper box, many people think that it is necessary to squeeze them to save space. But is that really necessary?

The problem of garbage is getting bigger and bigger, which requires communities to have a higher sense of consciousness when throwing garbage. In which the most important factor is the classification of garbage and how to dispose of garbage properly.

Each country will have a separate waste classification regulation, with varying degrees of rigidity. But basically there will be certain common denominators, such as plastic waste disposed separately, organic waste thrown away, paper waste, discarded boxes separately .

Many people believe that when finished using the milk box, it is necessary to peel off the joints and flatten them, like the image above.

However, when there are too many regulations, we sometimes have very unfortunate misunderstandings, typically throwing milk cartons, fruit juices . with paperboard that children still drink every day.

Not knowing when, many people believe that when finished using the milk box, it is necessary to peel off the joints and flatten them, like the image above. Its use is said to save space for trash.

But is it really like that?

In fact, it is true that in some countries' regulations, it is required to squeeze paper boxes. However, that regulation is only applied on large carton boxes, and the reason is that it helps to save space.

Flat paper box, ie the container will be more, requires fewer collection times and the cost is naturally reduced. Moreover, it helps collectors to be safer, avoid accidents caused by items in the box.

However, for boxed milk, splitting the joints and flattening them is absolutely not recommended.

1. Firstly, the reason is that the milk is quite small in size, so it is not easy to squeeze them.
2. Second , it also makes it difficult for waste disposal facilities to categorize and waste time.

In addition, you do not need to wash the box, or cover the box to do anything, because they will have to remove it again - a step is also quite time consuming.
