However, one of the greatest\nchallenges of today is that the systems and processes involved in feeding the\nworld account for more than one third of global greenhouse gas emissions per\ndata from several policy-focused research centers including the UN Food and\nAgriculture Organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Philippines, major food and beverage manufacturers have\ncollaborated with Tetra Pak as they move toward more sustainable ways of\ndelivering their products to end consumers. John Jose, Marketing Director of\nTetra Pak Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia, said that \u201cIn 2022,\nin the Philippines, over 330 million litres of food and beverages packed in\nTetra Pak cartons\u200b reached Filipino consumers. This is a welcome trend that\ncould fuel the development of a circular economy in the country and contribute\nto solving the country\u2019s perennial solid waste management problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Tetra Pak believes that carton packages are one of the best ways to feed the future sustainably, it continues to embark on developing \u201cthe world\u2019s most sustainable food package&#8221;, solely made from responsibly sourced renewable or recycled materials. One of its innovative packaging solutions is Tetra Recart. Viewed as the new home of food, Tetra Recart\u00a0is an innovative future-proof packaging solution for shelf-stable foods as it is a safe, practical, and convenient packaging that also features size-flexible lines for low factory footprint, space efficiency and in store waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of environmental impact, Tetra Recart is a more sustainable choice than can and glass packaging. From manufacturing to distribution to waste management, Tetra Recart uses only about 40% of the energy and over the lifetime of the package, carbon emissions from Tetra Recart are 81% lower than cans and glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, 69% of this carton packaging comes from a renewable responsibly managed resource \u2013 trees. Tetra Recart carries the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label. Lastly, its lightweight and rectangular shape allows for efficient transporting as six to ten times more empty Tetra Recart can be loaded in a single truck compared to cans. The fewer trucks on the road, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such consumers,\nproducers, and retailers can reimagine food that are traditionally canned or in\nglass jars, now in an alternative packaging that\u2019s more sustainable and\nefficient to move, store, and use. Think ready to cook or eat vegetables like\ntomatoes and beans, snackable fruits, on-the-go-meals, soups, sauces, even pet\nfood. With this creative innovation, opportunities are plenty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to\ninnovate for the future of food, aware that there are many challenges that we\nneed to address. Whether it\u2019s food or beverage, we make no compromises in\nensuring safety and quality even as they are transported from place to place to\nbring their nourishing benefits accessible to many. The impact on people,\nbusinesses, and of course the planet are equally important.\u201d John Jose\nconcluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tetra Pak believes\nthat innovating better alternatives to how food and beverages are packaged and\ndelivered across the world is key in maintaining the balance between keeping\nthe world nourished and minimizing impact on the environment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By 2050, demand for food is expected to soar as the global population is expected to grow by more than 25% according to the 2020 World Data Sheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8318,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,16],"tags":[220,214,217,722,218,302,276,820,303],"class_list":["post-8317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsmakers","category-product-showcase","tag-corporate-social-responsibility","tag-environmentalism","tag-sustainability","tag-sustainable-development-goals","tag-sustainable-efforts","tag-sustainable-goods","tag-sustainable-living","tag-sustainable-practices","tag-sustainable-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8317"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8319,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8317\/revisions\/8319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
