Local supplement showcases advances in food production, carton recycling, emissions reductions and community impact across the U.S. and Canada.

DENTON, Texas (August 17, 2026)— Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada today released its FY25 Sustainability Report Supplement, highlighting how the company is advancing more resilient food systems across the region through innovations in food production and technology, expanded recycling infrastructure, operational emissions reductions and community involvement.

The local supplement accompanies Tetra Pak’s 27th Sustainability Report, released globally on June 5, which reported a 34% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the company’s value chain since 2019 and a 56% reduction across its own operations, while reaching 97% renewable energy consumption globally. The U.S. and Canada supplement provides a closer look at the local initiatives and achievements supporting those broader sustainability ambitions.

“Sustainability isn’t a separate initiative for us, it’s how we do business,” said Seth Teply, president and CEO, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “Whether we’re helping customers operate more efficiently, expanding access to carton recycling or giving back to our local communities, we’re focused on delivering practical solutions that strengthen the security of food systems while reducing impact to the planet.”
