The combibloc EcoPlus carton pack from SIG Combibloc (www.sig.biz) generates less CO2, and is now also available with the very lightweight and therefore extremely resource efficient combiCap screw cap – a packaging solution that combines environmentally friendly features and exceptional convenience. Compared to a 1-liter carton pack of the same format, combibloc EcoPlus generates 28% less CO2.
The crucial factor that means the combibloc EcoPlus packaging material generates less CO2 lies in the special material composition, which differs from other beverage cartons. At more than 80%, the main component of the composite structure is a special type of raw paperboard based on wood, a renewable and entirely bio-based raw material, which gives the carton pack stability. Thanks to its special properties, the paperboard ensures that the products filled in the carton pack are protected from light. The FSC® label (Forest Stewardship Council®) on all combibloc EcoPlus carton packs assures the consumer that the wood fibers processed to make the paperboard come from FSC-certified forests or other controlled sources.
