CO2-reduced aseptic cartons used in Spain for UHT milk

European retailer Carrefour packages its UHT milk in low-CO2 aseptic carton in Spain, as part of its commitment to put responsible, sustainable consumption within reach of consumers.

Carrefour is offering three different types of UHT milk in SIG Combibloc’s combibloc EcoPlus 1,000-mL aseptic carton in Spain.

Carrefour, one of the biggest distribution chains in Europe, is offering three different types of UHT (ultra-high temperature processed) milk in SIG Combibloc’s combibloc EcoPlus 1,000-mL aseptic carton in Spain. The carton is made of the EcoPlus structure, which SIG Combibloc says generates less CO2 compared to a conventional 1-L carton of the same format.

Says SIG Combibloc, with the combibloc EcoPlus, the CO2 savings can measure up to 28% (depending on the opening solution) compared to the conventional 1-L carton of the same format from the company. This is due to the material composition: The main component of the combibloc EcoPlus is unprocessed cardboard (at more than 80%), made from renewable and entirely bio-based Forest Stewardship Council-certified raw-material wood that gives the carton stability. A razor-thin polyamide layer serves as a barrier to protect the product from flavor loss and external odors. Fine polyethylene layers are added to the structure internally and externally. The inner layer forms a liquid barrier for the product; the outer layer keeps moisture out.
