At Tetra Pak, we are taking a circular approach to the design of our food packages to optimise the use of resources along the packaging value chain. That’s why we are focusing on renewable materials, recycled material, sustainable openings and ensuring our packages are designed for recycling.
Food packaging has a large environmental footprint
The global food system accounts for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions every year.1 To shape a more sustainable future, we need food packaging that is fully renewable, fully recyclable and carbon-neutral.
Sustainable packaging can help preserve the planet
Plant-based raw materials such as wood and sugar cane are essential to reducing our dependency on fossil-based materials. They help preserve the environment for future generations.
It all starts with a circular approach
With our four focus areas we aim to enable the use of renewable materials, maximise the value of recycled material, minimise littering and make sure the package of the future is designed for recycling.
