12 Jul 2022 --- Tetra Pak’s new fiber-based barrier for food cartons will provide a major boost to carbon reduction and recycling efforts, according to Davide Braghiroli, the company’s product director for packaging materials. In this interview with PackagingInsights, Braghiroli explains why replacing the conventional aluminum layer in food cartons can reap significant environmental rewards and the importance of considering the product life cycle when implementing such changes. The “industry-first” fiber-based barrier is currently on shelf for commercial consumer testing for food carton packs distributed under ambient conditions, with further technology validation scheduled later this year.
