Tetra Pak will release the box from sugar cane

In 2015 the market will be a new product — "the Tetra Rex". This box is made of a film of low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene bio-based.



As it became known, the main material for production of biodegradable boxes was sugar cane. The composition also includes cardboard, which has been certified by the Forest stewardship Council.

"Environmental protection is a strategic priority for Tetra Pak and our priority on the development of new products," said Charles brand, Vice President of marketing and product management of the company "Tetra Pak".

"Together with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders we strive to use 100% renewable sources for production of packaging. We believe that increasing the use of renewable sources for our packages is not only good for the environment, it also gives our customers a competitive advantage," — said the representative of the brand.

Note that the new capacity was developed in cooperation with the company "Braskem" — one of the leading manufacturers of biopolymers.
