Tetra Pak cartons are FSC certified

Tetra Pak has announced that many of its UK and Irish customers will now be able to use the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label across the nation's favourite brands.

The majority of Tetra Pak cartons in the UK and Ireland can now use paperboard sourced from FSC certified forests and other controlled sources.

This means household milk, juice and liquid food brands will be able to sport the FSC logo across many, if not all, of their packs within the next 12 months.

Brands such as Princes, Ribena, Rubicon, Moo and many retail own label products packed in Tetra Pak cartons will be included.

This development will see supply increase from 200 million FSC-certified packs available globally in 2008, to over 1.5 billion packs, in the UK and Ireland alone.

All the European mills supplying Tetra Pak's paperboard have FSC Chain of Custody certification in place.

Over the next year, 75 per cent of the cartons made by Tetra Pak for the UK and Ireland will become FSC-certified.
