[GreenYes] plastic? or wax? coated milk cartons


I've been reading up on gable tops and a practice of coating them in layers of polyethylene instead of wax.
 
Obviously this has an effect on their suitability for recycling vs composting.
 
Is there some way that one could determine, when purchasing milk, if the carton is coated with plastic or wax?
 
Thanks in advance,
Rebecca
