Wine pouch should be sorted as:

Pouch and tap
Residual waste / Restaffald

Cardboard packaging
Cardboard / Pap
The pouch from bag-in-box wine should usually be sorted as residual waste because the pouch and tap are often made from mixed materials. The outer cardboard box can be sorted as cardboard if clean and dry. Empty the pouch as much as possible first.
