COMBIBLOC ECOPLUS: NEW CARTON PACK WITH 28 PER CENT LESS CO2

Author: Ralf Mosbacher Company: SIG Combibloc

Abstract:

combibloc EcoPlus is an innovative and climate-friendly aseptic carton pack for liquid food that cuts down CO2 by 28 per cent compared to a conventional 1-litre carton pack of the same format, thanks to a special new cardboard composite. This reduction in CO2 has been confirmed by an independent, critically reviewed lifecycle assessment conducted by the Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung (IFEU/Institute for Energy and Environmental Research) in Heidelberg, Germany. combibloc EcoPlus contains around 80 per cent wood fibre, which is obtained from wood, a renewable resource. combibloc EcoPlus improves the good environmental performance of the carton package and meets the expectations of customers in terms of increasing the resource efficiency and reducing the CO2 footprint.
