Many thanks for the tip. So I have switched to UHT, but will try to find more info re: recycling of packaging.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615563913854946465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-78221870895318109622011-05-31T11:55:01.281+08:002011-05-31T11:55:01.281+08:00I have tried some UHT versions.

I know that "brick packs" for most things like juice etc say something about "recycle where systems exist" but that practically they are un-recyclable because the 3 layers (plastic, paper, foil) are fused so tightly.<br /><br />I would be very happy to use either fresh or UHT based on lower carbon foot print.<br /><br />Will have to do some research about this! Seems every decision has ethical considerations, and often the issues are not that obvious or easy to assess!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615563913854946465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749491115727358019.post-31237759178611321402011-05-29T20:33:50.542+08:002011-05-29T20:33:50.542+08:00I notice you are using the fresh soy milks.

I think the UHT versions have a smaller ecological footprint because they don't need refrigerated transportation and storage. (This <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article2658175.ece" rel="nofollow">seems to apply to the dairy versions</a> anyway.)<br /><br />I haven't tasted the fresh soy milk actually. I'd be interested in how you think they compare to the UHT versions.Brettnoreply@blogger.com
