Can 3*3 10 layers, Tetra Recart 2*8 9 layers, all with density 1.03 kg/l. All data sourced and peer reviewed by Franklin Associates.

The recycled material from used Tetra Recart packages can be converted into useful new products.

The link between the manufacturing process of products and the wealth of the planet’s resources are closer than ever – CO2 emissions are a by-product of poorly considered products.

Innovations in packaging – in the areas of design, materials and production - have been driven by the need to address this.

HOW TETRA RECART STACKS UP AGAINST THE COMPETITION

TETRA RECART - A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

Tetra Recart packages are made using paper exclusively sourced from FSCTM certified forests and other controlled sources. In 2014 Tetra Pak delivered 43.7 billion packages with the FSC label.

By purchasing five 500ml Tetra Recart soup cartons instead of steel cans, CO2 emissions saved could power a 60W light bulb for over 23 hours.

Tetra Recart appeals to producers, customers and consumers.

would like to do more for the environment but do not know how.

LCA is a standardised method to evaluate the global environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle (from beginning to end).

Our goal is that by 2020, 40% of all Tetra Pak cartons will be recycled – equivalent to recycling around 100 billion individual cartons a year.
