Go Green with Tetra Pak
Launched on World Environment Day, 2010 ‘Go Green with Tetra Pak’ is an initiative by Tetra Pak India Pvt. Ltd. to maximize awareness and ensure safe and effective recycling of Tetra Pak cartons. The unique collaborative initiative with ‘Sahakari Bhandar’ and ‘Reliance Fresh’ aims to sensitize and educate consumers to practice easy steps to recycle Tetra Pak cartons and understand the benefits of recycling to the environment.
Tetra Pak cartons are primarily made from wood fibre that has been refined into paperboard. To this are added protective layers of polyethylene and aluminium.
These materials are layered together using heat and pressure to form a six-layered container which protects its contents from light, oxygen, air, dirt and moisture. Furthermore, Tetra Pak cartons are lightweight and easy to transport.
Used cartons are not waste. They are a valuable raw material for useful new products.
