milk cartons saying it is not economically feasible to process the milk bottle alternative.

Recycling contractor Nelmac says the Scandinavian-made cartons have to be recycled overseas because no one in New Zealand has the machinery to process them.

People wanting to use recyclable milk containers should buy the milk packaged in plastic bottles instead," says Emma Manhart.
