Carton Smart: Simple ways to help save the environment #sponsored

Have you ever stopped to think about how easy it would be to change the world? Especially if we all made just a small change everyday. The folks at Tetra Pak believe in this philosophy and it shows in their products. Their products come in cartons, and when you use groceries that come in cartons, you are making an impact for good on the environment. And that impact has a ripple effect. 

Tetra Pak carton packages are designed for maximum efficiency, while being environmentally friendly. That makes it easy for you to make one small {and simple} change that impacts the envornment positively.

You can do your part to help the environment by buying Tetra Pak products. We like to use the following products.

 • Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree

• Pacific Foods Organic Jellied Cranberry Sauce

• Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Simply Stock

The Pumpkin Puree is especially great in pumpkin pie and we love the Chicken Simply Stock in homemade chicken and dumplings. These products taste just the same {or better} than traditionally packaged items, but you can feel good about using them. 🙂

    Love how easy tetra packs are to store for recycling.
    We pay a deposit on them (pain in the butt) but we get it all back when we take the bottles in.
    I haven’t seen this brand here…dang!
    I want to try the pumpkin!!

    I love Tetra Packs – I have them for the kids boxed drinks like milk and some soups but I had no idea they had purees and cranberry sauce in them too. Makes it easy to use for recipes and store away the rest for future use.

    I’m a huge fan of anything that reduces waste and garbage. I have used their chicken stock before but have not seen these other products. Nice product line.

    It’s good to be seeing more and more carton products on the shelves at the store.

    I have seen these before but never used them. I do like the idea of stock though in such a smaller quantity then I’ve used in the past.

    I love that these products are so much more earth friendly, and that they are organic too!

    I have never heard of these products, and I hope they show up on our shelves soon.

    I love recycling and reducing waste any way I can. My daughter buys a lot of these products, since they are organic and most of them are gluten free.

    I have used this pumpkin puree to make pies, and it’s delicious. It’s good to buy cartons!

    I recently saw this brand on the shelves at one of our local grocery stores. I wondered if it was good or not. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    I have used Pacific products before but I didn’t know they made cranberry sauce too.

    I have used all these products. I like using the cranberry sauce with meatballs to create a yummy appetizer.

      I have never thought about that. Do you have a recipe to share?

  17. Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says

    January 10, 2014 at 10:50 pm

    I can’t seem to find these yet, or my eyes are just not noticing them. Love that the taste is just as high quality!

  18. Amanda Love says

    I’ve never used any of their products before but I’m for any company that helps with waste reduction. Their products also seem pretty good.

    I just found these products and I love them! I love that they are organic too. I’m getting ready to make oatmeal bars with the cranberry.

    It is so important to recycle and by recycled products. Let’s help mother earth so that mother earth can help us! Thanks for the review.

    This is a great post. Despite living in NYC, I think we are ahead of the game in the world of recycling when compared with the middle of the country. I had a new neighbor from the midwest and she was stunned that recycling is the law here. Here I recycle and there are many composting centers here. It’s important to take care of the planet. BYW, I love Pacific soups!
