Tetra Pak reveals ambitious environmental targets

Tetra Pak has announced plans to cap carbon emissions at 2010 levels by the end of 2020, and increase efforts to double the recycling rate for used beverage cartons by the end of the decade.
The 10-year targets are part of an ambitious new environmental programme that, says the company, is designed to deliver on its ultimate aim of providing sustainable packaging using only renewable materials, achieving a minimal environmental footprint and creating zero waste.
“Tetra Pak has made the scale of its environmental ambitions crystal clear,” says Tetra Pak President and CEO Dennis Jönsson. “These are tough targets and achieving them will be a real challenge — but we are investing innovative thinking, industry leading expertise and real commitment to meet them. We are raising the bar again, because environmental performance is critical to enabling sustainable and profitable growth, both for Tetra Pak and our customers.”
