World’s leading processing and packaging solutions company, Tetra Pak, has unveiled new insights to promote safer and nutritious rations globally through sustainable packaging initiative amid limited raw materials.
The research, geared at promoting fibre-based healthier food packaging, is in collaboration with MAX IV – the most modern synchrotron radiation laboratory in the world. The study brings to life a novel packaging solution that would achieve safe, recyclable and more durable result against liquids and humidity, while meeting the increased sustainability demands.
The first application to optimise composition of materials used for paper straws is the very first industrial research and development experiment at ForMAX, a brand new research station dedicated to study of materials from the forest, located at the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. “The package of the future needs to be fully recyclable and have a low environmental impact. Using renewable materials and increasing the use of fibre-based material within packages will be vital. With this research, Tetra Pak is helping to uncover fresh insights into plant-based materials as a basis for future innovations.”
“In 2021, it was reported by the Germany Machinery Association that Nigeria became the largest investor in food and packaging technology in Africa, with an investment of over 346 million Euros, ahead of Egypt and South Africa. The new foray into fibre-based food packaging will further enhance investment and open more opportunities and possibilities for willing investors into the African market agricultural value chain with packaging partnership and support from Tetra Pak,” he said.
