Climate Impact
►Tetra Pak has commissioned thinkstep, a sustainability consultancy, to undertake an LCA to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts.
►The burdens associated with portion-sized pack itself have also been assessed to put those of the straw and wrapping in context.
►The study shows that the paper straw itself compared to a plastic straw (both in a plastic wrap) reduces the impact on climate change by 34%*
►When including a 200 ml portion-sized beverage carton, the overall solution’s comparison of straw combined with package reduces the impact on climate change by 3%*
