Tetra Pak has been at the forefront of packaging innovation for decades. Over the past 20 years, the company has evolved its carton designs and functionality to meet the changing needs of consumers and brands while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview, Jason Pelz, Vice President of Sustainability for Tetra Pak in the U.S. and Canada, provided insights into the company\u2019s journey and its future vision for carton packaging.<\/p>\n
The evolution of carton design and functionality<\/h2>\n
According to Pelz, \u201cTetra Pak cartons have continued to evolve since the early 2000s to meet the changing needs of consumers and brands while working to reduce total environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
One significant example of this evolution is the introduction of Tetra Recart, a package format that Pelz describes as \u201ca modern and innovative alternative food packaging that is lightweight, mainly comprised of renewable, plant-based materials and recyclable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tetra Recart can withstand processes traditionally reserved for metal cans and glass jars, showcasing Tetra Pak\u2019s commitment to flexibility and innovation in packaging.<\/p>\n
In addition to new products, Pelz emphasized that Tetra Pak has focused on usability improvements with innovations such as DreamCap and LightCap.<\/p>\n
