Are rising energy and water costs, emissions targets and product loss putting pressure on your margins? Dairy producers face these challenges while many lines are still far from end‑of‑life. This independently reviewed assessment shows how upgrading existing liquid dairy processing lines with today’s proven, in-market solutions can unlock efficiency gains, cut climate and resource impacts and strengthen current assets, across four major liquid dairy line types.
See exactly how the assessment was carried out. The methodology report details the reference vs solution scenarios, the suite of commercially available solutions, the avoided emissions calculation, data quality checks and sensitivity analysis across the four liquid dairy line types.
Get a concise overview of the Carbon Trust-reviewed assessment. This summary explains the scope, key assumptions and core results for improving existing liquid dairy processing and filling lines with commercially available solutions, including emissions, water and production loss reductions.
Upgrading existing liquid dairy processing lines with the assessed suite of market‑available solutions turns the reviewed assessment findings into a practical business lever. It can allow you to reduce emissions, water use and product loss while improving the performance and utilisation of current assets, rather than investing in full line replacement. This can help strengthen margins and resilience by lowering energy and water spend, reducing waste and making better use of existing capex.
OneStep technology makes the production process faster and more energy-efficient. In a single unbroken step, raw milk is pre-heated, separated, standardized and homogenized, before undergoing UHT treatment and regenerative cooling, and then transferred to the aseptic tank. By removing the pasteurization and intermediate storage steps, the processing time is shortened from as much as two days to just a few hours.

1 : Results are based on modelled scenarios for Tetra Pak’s 2019 best-practice lines and will vary by geography, processing line type and specific site implementation. The assessment was developed with the Carbon Trust using best-practice guidance to avoid emissions and guidance and includes solution emissions in the calculation of net impact.
