The Swiss packaging company SIG has developed an aseptic beverage carton that does not require aluminium despite the presence of a full barrier layer. According to the company, this makes production CO2<\/sub>-poorer. The packaging is suitable for oxygen-sensitive products such as fruit juices, nectars, flavoured milk or plant-based drinks.<\/strong><\/p>

The new addition is the latest development in the Signature portfolio, with which the company is positioning itself in the field of sustainable packaging solutions.<\/strong> SIG<\/a> has already developed aluminium-free solutions for aseptic carton packs in the past. By dispensing with a barrier layer of aluminium foil, the market launch of combibloc Ecoplus in 2010 reduced CO2<\/sub>-footprint compared to a standard packaging material from SIG reduced by 27 per cent<\/strong> be. Signature 100, launched on the market in 2017, reduced this value with a 58 per cent lower CO2 footprint<\/strong> compared to a standard packaging material from SIG. The polymers used are 100 per cent linked to renewable, forest-based materials via a certified mass balance system.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The company anticipates that the Signature Evo packaging materials will reduce CO2<\/sub>-footprint in a similar way to combibloc Ecoplus, which is to be confirmed by an independent, critically reviewed life cycle assessment study.<\/strong> Like all SIG packs, Signature Evo is fully recyclable in existing recycling streams.<\/p>
