Case Study: Tetra Pak achieves lower-carbon beverage packaging insights with thinkstep-anz

Tetra Pak cartons achieve lowest carbon footprint in Australia with thinkstep-anz

Tetra Pak Oceania faced the challenge of needing current, independent data to compare the environmental performance of its cartons against other beverage packaging formats in Australia and New Zealand. They partnered with thinkstep-anz to conduct a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that would reflect recent changes in packaging design, materials, and recycling systems.

thinkstep-anz conducted a comprehensive LCA comparing cartons to various packaging formats across their full life cycle. The assessment found that Tetra Pak cartons have the lowest carbon footprint in Australia and one of the lowest in New Zealand. They also performed well in other environmental indicators, using the least water and producing the lowest acidifying emissions. This robust, peer-reviewed data provided by thinkstep-anz gives Tetra Pak a credible foundation to communicate with customers and support more sustainable packaging decisions.
