Mission Statement:  The Aseptic Packaging Council is the industry association representing the manufacturers of the drink box. Since 1990, they have worked with school districts and communitites to set up both school and curbside recycling programs, which include the collection of milk cartons and drink boxes. As of September 1993, more than 650 schools and more than 675,000 households in the state recycle milk cartons and drink boxes. Drink boxes and milk cartons are plastic-coated paper. In the recycling process, called hydrapulping, the valuable paper fiber is reclaimed and recovered. The fiber is used in making tissues, paper towels, fine grade writing paper and napkins.
