Thanks for the update! I have been throwing them in the trash *shame on me*

Will check with our town!

Our town recycling program accepts them for recycling. They ask us to put tetrapaks along with plastic and glass recyclables, not with paper. I don’t know if they really recycle them or just burn them but, they surely do collect them every week.

These tetrapaks are aluminum coated – but I agree, I don’t think they are recyclable.

The eco-smart comes from NOT using bottles! Apparently (from the article) the weight of the glass bottles is what makes transportation of the wine very expensive! Further, because they are fragile, they need to use more packing! I don’t remember the actual numbers, but actual shipping costs (and gas/diesel burn’t) was about a third lower with the tetrapaks; also less packaging was required.

And importantly for ME! while wine bottles come in 750 ml capacity, the tetrapaks are 1L :-) )

Irrespective, I really liked the wine!

and so will you!

I know they are not recyclable – do you know why they are called eco-smart? I would think glass is a little greener than waxed cardboard – our County infact refuses to take any tetrapaks – they claim no recycler takes them.. hmmm I will have to look into this (maybe mull it over a glass of wine ;) )

I found your link on vegeyum’s blog while searching for info on rosematta rice. On the comment, you mentioned something about writing a post with more detailed pictures on the red rice. I couldn’t locate it, though.

I find your observations and photography fascinating.

Hi Agda:
yes! Thank you for the reminder! I need to post on the ‘boiled” rice. Will do that soon.
Thank you for your patience :-)

Arun
