An important part of this work is to increase
consumer awareness. The global recycling of
used Tetra Pak packages increased from 13 per
cent in 2001 to 22.9 per cent in 2012. From 12
billion carton packages recycled in 2001, we
went on to recycle 39 billion packages in 2012.
We have set a goal of reaching 40 per cent global
recycling by 2020.
Climate:
Tetra Pak has established a global cli-
mate target for 2020 to reduce environmental
impact throughout the value chain; from our
suppliers, within our own organisation, our
customers’ production and recycling of used
packaging. We want to ensure that the reduction
of our climate impact is equal to the extent of our
growth, and remains at the same level in 2020
as it was in 2010.
Since 2006, Tetra Pak has been part of the WWF’s
Climate Savers initiative.

Environmental management:
Our packag-
ing material factories are certified according
to the environmental management standard
ISO 14001.
Renewable raw materials:
The principal
raw material used in our packaging is paper, a
product which is manufactured from wood – a
natural and renewable resource. Using renew-
able raw material that continues to grow is a
good environmental choice. Our guidelines for
forestry management guarantee full traceability
of our materials, and our ultimate goal is for all
the wood fibre in our carton packaging for food
and beverages to come from certified forests and
to live up to the highest standards of responsible
forest management, FSC™ (Forest Stewardship
Council™). In 2012, Tetra Pak delivered over 26
billion packaging items with the FSC™ stamp.
We are extending the use of renewable materi-
als and have introduced polymers for our caps
produced from a bio-based resource, sugar
cane.
Environmental performance:
We strive con-
tinuously to improve the environmental perfor-
mance of our processing and packaging solu-
tions. By making our solutions more efficient,
impact on the environment will decrease and
costs will also be reduced. This reinforces both
our customers’ competitiveness and our own.
