Key sustainability challenges facing our industry​

Climate change​

The climate emergency is the number one environmental challenge facing our communities. As part of the community, our industry can play a part in avoiding catastrophic climate change.

Recycling and the​ circular economy​

We can influence the amount of carbon that is emitted when we source, manufacture and deliver food and beverage products. We also have a part to play to ensure the sustainable disposable of waste after our products have been used.

Loss of biodiversity​

In the food and beverage industry, sustainability is part of the “license to operate”. More and more often, consumers, retailers and legislators are expecting producers to demonstrate a sustainable business practice – failing which they are avoiding or penalising producers that do not.

How can plant operations contribute to sustainability efforts

To address the challenge of securing future sustainability – many businesses including Tetra Pak have set long term ambitions on how manufacturing sites are expected to operate. It is clear through targets set that there are common areas of focus that manufacturers see as opportunities to make the most positive environmental impact. Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Water Consumption and Waste consistently rank as high priorities.

Our commitment to future sustainability for customer manufacturing sites by 2030

Tetra Pak® Upgrades help you achieve sustainability and productivity goals

 

CIP Improvements

CIP Improvements can help improve the entire line of CIP process in various aspects such as automation, report generation and customization of CIP as per production requirements, resulting in improved control, safety and efficiency of the process.

Water Recovery Solutions

We help implement methods to recover water from plant processes. Recovered water can then be used for other purposes.

Mix Phase Reduction

Mix Phase reduction enables the customer to reduce product losses when switching between water and product and vice versa, thus increasing operational efficiency.

Energy Recovery

To reduce carbon footprint, Energy Recovery Upgrade allows you to recover heat during pasteurization process that can be subsequently used to heat hot water used during the mixing/batching process.

Eco Cooling Homogenizer

Eco Cooling Homogenizer upgrade helps in recirculating water used in cooling areas of the homogenizer, such as crankcase, gearbox, thereby reducing water consumption and environmental footprint.

Automatic refill and CIP of Homogenizer Dampers

Automatic Refill and CIP of Homogenizer Dampers is an upgrade that allows you to maintain an air cushion within the dampers during production, and clean them when required without manual intervention.
