| 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
