Tetra Pak and Veolia partner for recycling used beverage carton components

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Packaging solutions company Tetra Pak has entered into partnership with global resource management company Veolia to recycle all used beverage cartons components collected within the European Union to be recycled by 2025. The average beverage carton comprises around 75% paperboard, 20% plastic and 5% aluminium foil.

Lisa Ryden, Recycling Director, Tetra Pak said, “All materials from beverage cartons can be fully recycled into something new and useful. Our approach to recycling involves working with many partners along the value chain, because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The challenge in the EU is to achieve the economies of scale and turn PolyAl into high value secondary materials.”

“With this partnership, we are combining our respective areas of expertise to find sustainable solutions for PolyAl recycling”

The fibres recovered during recycling have a healthy market when converted into high-quality paper pulp for use in both industrial and consumer products, the same is not true for the recovered polymer and aluminium (PolyAl) mix. The extracted PolyAl will be processed at dedicated facilities and converted into raw materials for applications within the plastic industry, according to Tetra Pak.

Both the companies will initially start in the EU, and later expand to more markets around the world.

Laurent Auguste, Senior EVP Development, Innovation & Markets, Veolia said: “This partnership joins together our resource management expertise and Tetra Pak’s packaging material expertise. We will develop an environmentally and economically sustainable solution to recycling PolyAl, first in the EU, and then Asia, to improve collection, technology and processes. We are proud to embark on this journey with Tetra Pak to sustain and grow beverage carton recycling. At Veolia we work every day to make waste a valuable resource, and are constantly developing innovative solutions, and investing in technologies, as part of our wider commitment to living circular.”
