Tetra Pak in collaboration with Sterilgarda Alimenti, has unveiled the first-ever 1-litre package featuring a paper-based barrier, marking another significant milestone in the carton packaging industry’s transition towards low-carbon, renewable materials.
Introducing a paper-based barrier into the Tetra Brik Aseptic 1000 Edge carton package - one of the company’s most popular formats with its distinctive slanted top panel - increases the renewable content to 90% when combined with plant-based polymers.
Designed for ambient distribution, the carton supports shelf life and performance comparable to traditional aseptic packaging with an aluminium foil barrier, while reducing the carbon footprint by up to 50%, as verified by the Carbon Trust.
Giampaolo Rossi, plant director at Sterilgarda Alimenti, said, “We at Sterilgarda Alimenti stand for tradition and innovation. Through our continuous improvements in technology and product quality, we aim to provide the best possible answers to evolving consumer needs. Conscious consumption is becoming increasingly important, which is why adopting pioneering technologies is key across all our activities. Tetra Pak’s new paper-based barrier is a groundbreaking innovation in beverage packaging and represents a significant contribution to our journey towards greater sustainability.”
Tatiana Liceti, executive vice president, packaging solutions at Tetra Pak, said, “As environmental sustainability continues to shape the food and beverage industry, this innovation is an important step forward. It introduces a new barrier material that helps producers move closer to their environmental goals. For me, this is about harnessing the power of paper to make beverage cartons more renewable. This is the result of working hand-in-hand with our customers, supporting them as they offer responsible choices that consumers increasingly expect.’’
