Although there are many technical options for recycling of beverage cartons, two main options of (fiber recovery and chipboard manufacturing) are widely used and have been operated commercially for many years in many countries:
     Used cartons can be used as raw material in any conventional paper milled operating in a local market. With typical equipments in the mills, called “pulpers”, the virgin fibers in the paperboard fraction are separated from beverage cartons; approximately 600 Kg of pulp can be extracted from 1 ton of cartons. The process needs no chemical or special equipment to recycle beverage cartons.
     Because of these fibers are virgin, comprising long fiber and CTMP, the reclaimed fibers from used cartons are stronger than those of old corrugated carton boxes (OCC), which are widely used as the prime raw material in the recycled paper industry. They are ideal for making strong paperboard or corrugated medium paper.
