The Beverage Carton Industry Outlines Sustainable Packaging Commitments
The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) — along with its members: BillerudKorsnäs, Elopak, SIG Combibloc, Stora Enso and Tetra Pak — have, according to ACE, set the industry’s vision for the future. The organizations have promised to deliver sustainable packaging for resilient food supply systems that is renewable, climate positive and circular.
According to ACE, through its roadmap, the beverage carton industry has committed to take action on all parts of the industry value chain, from sustainable sourcing to climate impact and recycling. Ten commitments have been promised overall, including: increasing the collection and recycling of beverage cartons to reach a 90% collection rate and at least a 70% recycling rate by 2030, along with the decarbonization of the industry’s value chain, in line with the 1.5o C aligned science-based targets.
