We drink a lot of milk and I have been collecting these bricks with the idea that there would be a usable function like isolation. But I slowly come back from that plan. the plastic inside will breakdown after a while I would think and there is no structural support of these packages. If I keep it empty, mice can nestle in it and filling with foam prevents from curing...

I am a bit out of ideas. Now i am thinking of using as insulation but then as a flat package. It will require only more milk drinking though ๐Ÿ˜…. maybe you have some ideas to reuse these cartons?

Some of the packages were eaten out by mice but most Ive cleaned with putting water in and let it soak and flush. Then dried by nature as it was nice weather. Dogs would like to still steal and lick out though ๐Ÿ˜ท

My concern is that it would be quite hard to really thoroughly clean them to prevent mold and such.

But I guess the mold would not get through the container anyway.
