Aseptic carton pack with high paper fibre content

The Increase in the proportion of FSC-certified paper fibres in aseptic carton packs and the expansion of solutions without an aluminium layer are important keys to the strategy of SIG, to continuously increase the recycling of cardboard packaging. This supports the company's goal of cardboard packaging can be recycled anywhere in the world, This is particularly important in markets that have little established recycling infrastructure.

„Our carton packs have a low energy intensity, are produced with 100 per cent renewable electricity and consist mainly of renewable resources from the forest. Now we want to go one step further by increasing the collection and recycling of carton packs - via the existing recycling systems for beverage cartons, but also via waste paper streams. Increasing the fibre content in our aseptic carton packs will give us this additional opportunity and is in line with the general trend of „paperisation“ in product packaging. The renewable paperboard used in our packaging is FSC-certified. This ensures that we are promoting responsible forest management that prioritises the conservation of biodiversity.“

This means that more carbon is removed from the atmosphere than is released during the life cycle of the packaging.
