I am pretty sure this is laminated card.

It is an item on a list of various packaging materials to be reported to REPA. The other types correspond to various categories in REPA's instructions, but there is no mention in my text of laminated card.
Which is what is used for liquids...

Can anyone please confirm or give me a better suggestion?
THANKS!

tetrapak


Explanation:
This seems to have become the standard name here in Ireland. I know it was originally a brand name, but at least for recycling purposes, it has become the generic name for this kind of packaging.
