The packaging

A low carbon
packaging choice

Tetra Pak® cartons are produced from renewable materials and are fully recyclable across Denmark and the EU. They carry the FSC™ stamp of approval, guaranteeing that the timber used comes from certified sustainable forests.

Renewable materials

Primarily made from paperboard — a renewable, plant-based material produced using mainly renewable energy.

Fully recyclable

Cartons can be completely flattened and are accepted in recycling streams across Europe — reducing landfill and waste management costs.

Certified production

All Tetra Pak® cartons carry Bonsucro certification for sustainably sourced sugarcane used in the bio-based plastic cap.
