Aseptic carton boxes are domestic waste normally found in milk juice boxes. These materials are composed of paper layers, aluminum, and polyethylene that grant to the material, among other characteristics, good resistance and durability. However, this composition also makes harder the recycling process of these packages due to the labor of separating the materials that integrate these boxes. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the resistance to weather in bike baskets made from aseptic carton boxes.
