The carton and machinery giant has announced its plans to develop a fully sustainable packaging solution for aseptic cartons. By 2030, they aim to have a packaging structure with at least 90% fibre content, with an interim target of 85% by 2025.

To achieve their goal of higher recyclability, SIG will increase the FSC-certified fibre content in their aseptic cartons and expand their aluminum-free solutions. These steps are essential to their sustainability strategy for carton packs.

Samuel Sigrist, the CEO of SIG, expressed their commitment to environmental responsibility: “Our carton packs have a low energy intensity and are produced with 100% renewable electricity. They predominantly consist of renewable resources from the forest. Now, we want to further enhance our efforts by increasing the collection and recycling of cartons through existing beverage carton recycling systems and paper streams. Increasing the proportion of fibre content in aseptic cartons aligns with the industry’s trend towards paper-based packaging. Our FSC-certified renewable paperboard ensures that we prioritize responsible forestry practices and biodiversity conservation.”
