After finishing a meal, what should you do with the paper lunch box? Can you just throw the greasy box in the trash or should you recycle it with paper? Experts advise that paper lunch boxes should not be thrown into paper recycling but should be placed separately in container recycling. These boxes, although made of paper, are coated with polyethylene or wax for waterproofing and oil resistance, making proper recycling essential. Despite a recycling rate of 80%, misconceptions about sorting and convenience hinder further improvement. Proper disposal and cleaning of the boxes can significantly impact recycling efficiency and environmental sustainability.
