SIG Combibloc has developed an aseptic carton pack fully linked to renewable plant materials.
The new Signature Pack has been developed to replace conventional plastics from fossil fuels with certified and sustainable plant-based polymer materials.
Polymers are generally used to laminate the paperboard and make the spout originate from renewable European wood sources.
Through replacing fossil fuel-based materials by renewable plant-based product, the company is implementing its plans of reducing harmful affect on the environment.
SIG Combibloc chief market officer Markus Boehm said: “Sales of consumer goods from brands with a demonstrated commitment to sustainability are growing much stronger than those without.
“These factors have been focal points for developing our Signature Pack. This is an important milestone in aseptic carton packaging, and we’re proud to present a genuine global innovation catering to these consumer needs.”
“We want to offer the most sustainable packaging solutions available in the market. Carton packs from SIG are already composed of up to 82% wood, a renewable resource.”
In March this year, SIG Combibloc launched new Combidome carton bottle for low-acid products such as milk and plant-based dairy alternatives.
The new Combidome bottle has been selected by US-based Steuben Foods to launch its nut-based low-acid beverages in almond, hazelnut, walnut and cashew varieties.
With customers in around 65 countries, SIG provides carton packaging solutions for the food and beverage industry.
