Valio has been selling its Valio Eila\u00ae<\/sup> brand of lactose free semi-skimmed milk drink in Tetra Rex Bio-based for the past three months and now plans to use the fully renewable package for some other products in their range. At the same time, the company has also decided to use Tetra Pak\u2019s 100% bio-based closures for all their gable-top packages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all of the hard work and significant investment that has gone into bringing this package to market, it is hugely rewarding to get such a positive response from both Valio and their consumers,\u201d says Charles Brand, Executive Vice President of Product Management & Commercial Operations for Tetra Pak.<\/p>\n

Tetra Rex Bio-based is now available in a range of sizes, from 250ml to 2000ml, for all chilled milk specifications. The package will soon be deployed by more customers in Europe, and the company is already having discussions about launching it\u00a0 with dairy companies in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n

Tetra Rex Bio-based is manufactured solely from a combination of plastics derived from sugar cane and paperboard. Like the Forest Stewardship Council\u2122 (FSC\u2122) certified paperboard, the plastics can be traced back to their origin, affording the package the highest category of bio-based certification from Vincotte, the internationally-recognised assessment body.<\/p>\n

The bio-based plastics used by Tetra Pak are produced by Brazilian chemical company, Braskem, which sources all of its feedstock from sugar cane grown on degraded pastures.<\/p>\n

\u201cTetra Rex Bio-based offers customers a fully renewable package made from materials that can be traced back to their plant-based source. It\u2019s good for the environment, and it\u2019s excellent for communicating with consumers \u2026 the product they actually hold in their hands is derived entirely from plants.\u00a0 The pack that grows back,\u201d says Brand.<\/p>\n

Tetra Rex Bio-based scooped a Gold Award at the Pro2Pac Excellence Awards in the UK last week for being the world\u2019s first carton made entirely from plant-based, renewable packaging materials.<\/p>\n

The 100% renewable package can be identified by the words \u201cTetra Rex\u00ae<\/sup> Bio-based\u201d printed on the gable of the package.<\/p>\n
