Sustainable PackagingUnpacking key the facts & challenges surrounding material choices

rPET is far less CO2 intensive than cans & glass bottle¹

Consumers believe rPET is the most sustainable option²

Tetra packs are lined with a layer of virgin plastic & aluminium which forms a polymer

that can’t be removed and reused in packaging. Aluminium is lined with virgin

plastic.

For consumers, the last step in the recycling process is more important than the material

used²

Blow filled rPET bottles have a much smaller (-88%) CO2 footprint vs cans: 9,000 bottle

preforms (which are blown once on site) fit in the equivalent space of 1,000 cans. Therefore C02 relating to freight from

packaging manufacturer to supplier is reduced by 88%

All packaging materials that go to landfill have environmental challenges. The answer

is how to close the loop and avoid landfill
