La Cooperativa Dos Pinos, one of Costa Rica’s biggest dairy producers, sells their milk in the popular tetra brik container. The packaging, which is a compound of plastic, aluminum, and cardboard, allows for a very long shelf life, but comes at the price of environmentally unfriendly packaging. Showing their care and concern for the world around them, Dos Piños recently announced that they are building a facility to process 100 tons of tetra brik packaging per month, separating its contents into cardboard and a plastic-aluminum compound. The compound will be used as primary material for many products, including blackboards, chairs, tables, and school desks.
