    I found a template letter to send to your council calling for Tetra Pak recycling. Tetra Pak suggest sending them a copy of this press release. Also if your really keen you can print out address labels so you can send them off for recycling but you have to pay the postage fee. According to the Tetra Pak website packaging makes up 3% of the weight of Tetra Paked goods. That means a 1litre carton should weigh just over 30grams so I think the optimum to save up and send in one packet is 33, which would come in just under 1kilo and cost £2.12 as a second-class packet. This is about 6.4p per carton.
