Sustainability has always been at the core of everything we do, as such it is also a fundamental building block of our 2030 strategy, so we are proud to receive industry recognition for our work to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are the world\u2019s leading food processing and packaging supplier and provide food safely to billions of people in more than 160 countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already taken great strides on our journey to pioneer a sustainable future. However, with the current climate crisis and the potential food security challenges, we believe that the food packaging industry needs a major step change in its evolution. Our ambition is to deliver the world\u2019s most sustainable food package. This means creating cartons that are fully made from renewable or recycled materials, are fully recyclable and carbon neutral. We see this as the only way to protect what\u2019s good \u2013 food, people and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/04dOUqPGgLI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch the documentary showcasing their journey.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The video features interviews with members of Tetra Pak\u2019s Global Leadership Team, highlighting how the role of food sector in tackling climate change is becoming even more imperative.\u00a0They explain why accelerating de-carbonisation and collaborations is critical to lead the sustainability transformation of the food packaging industry \u2013 addressing complex and multi-faceted challenges such as global warming, circularity and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9762 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"tetra pak\" width=\"518\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-1030x781.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-768x583.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-1536x1165.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-1500x1138.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web-705x535.jpg 705w, https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/tetra_2_web.jpg 1848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Food overlooked in climate change<\/h4>\n<p>Food is a critical but often overlooked element of climate change. The global food system accounts for 26% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [1], while 8% of total emissions are caused by food waste [2]. In other words, if food waste were a country, it would be the world\u2019s third largest producer of emissions. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of the world\u2019s food system, which will only be further amplified by the expected growth of the world population to 9.1 billion by 2050 [3].<\/p>\n<h4>Feeding the world<\/h4>\n<p>High-performance food packaging plays a critical role in feeding the world, but it must do so sustainably, so that food availability does not come at the cost of the planet. This lies behind Tetra Pak\u2019s purpose: To commit to making food safe and available, everywhere, in a way that protects what\u2019s good \u2013 protecting food, protecting people as well as protecting the planet. To minimise climate impact while helping to ensure food security for the future, the company takes a full life cycle view of its solutions. Always working collaboratively. This means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maximising the use of renewable materials, and sourcing them responsibly in a way that protects biodiversity<\/li>\n<li>Minimising the carbon impact of its operations as well as the one created by its value chain, for instance by accelerating the switch to renewable energy and by stepping up investment to develop low carbon processing and packaging solutions<\/li>\n<li>Enabling greater access to safe food while reducing food waste: the aseptic filling technology, that Tetra Pak introduced to the food industry in the early 1950s, allows for ambient distribution and storage, without requiring energy intensive refrigeration<\/li>\n<li>Driving an active agenda to develop sustainable recycling value chains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/food-ghg-emissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/food-ghg-emissions<\/a><\/li>\n<li>UN FAO, Food wastage footprint &amp; climate change<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fao.org\/news\/story\/en\/item\/35571\/icode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.fao.org\/news\/story\/en\/item\/35571\/icode\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tetra Pak \u2013 the world\u2019s leading food processing and packaging solutions company \u2013 has been recognised as one of the world\u2019s &#8220;50 Sustainability and Climate Leaders&#8221; \u2013 a docu-series project developed by the international business community to encourage businesses to take effective action in the fight against climate change.
