I am sure the questions below have been thrown at you at some point of time.<\/p>\n

Do you recycle?<\/em><\/p>\n

Why do you recycle?<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it recyclable?<\/em><\/p>\n

I have asked these questions to myself and others. I do it frequently. I have been religiously recycling and reusing. I dream about having a zero waste household and a negative carbon footprint. I am that “Green Mommy” you read about in the mommy stereotypes list.<\/p>\n

Recently I realised that I have been missing a big part of this giant jigsaw puzzle we are trying to put together in an attempt to save our planet. I did ensure I recycled and reused cereal boxes and milk containers but I did not think about checking the packing before I brought them.<\/p>\n

So partnering with Tetrapak<\/a> I joined the #Packtivism movement. The past 4 weeks, I have been training myself to check the renewability of packaging when I pick up a product at the super market. Just like I check the nutritional information at the back of the box, I check for logos\/words that tell me about the renewability (and not just the recycle logo).<\/p>\n

\"Packtivism<\/p>\n

Most products don’t seem to have any renewability logos but it is a trend that is changing. It is also not easy to check for these logos in the middle of a crazy shopping trip with a kid in tow. But making it an habit helps.<\/p>\n

I have almost successfully trained my mind to scan for the words “compostable, biodegradable, made from natural sources” and the logos in the picture above before I pick something up.<\/p>\n

Stop by\u00a0TetraPak’s super cool and informative site<\/a> to learn more about their renewable packaging that keeps your food fresh.<\/p>\n
