Over one billion milk and juice cartons are used in Australia every year, but only one in ten are currently recycled. In order to improve this figure, at the end of 1995 Planet Ark joined together with the milk and juice carton industry to work on a campaign designed to bring about real and measurable environmental results.

It does take a little time though, since you will need to allow for two days of preparation time before actually making the paper.
