Tetra Pak president and CEO Dennis Jönsson, said: “We’re off to a good start, but there is still a lot to be done to achieve the 2020 targets that we set for ourselves in 2011.
“Strong environmental performance goes hand in hand with long-term business success, and we are working closely with our suppliers, customers and other external parties to ensure that we deliver on our environmental commitments, helping all of us to achieve our sustainable growth ambitions.”
Highlights from 2012 include:
Recycling
Luxembourg and Belgium, with recycling rates of more than 80%, and Germany, where recycling rates are above 70%, remain the star performers, while China, Russia and Arabia, starting from a low base, have virtually doubled their recycling rates during the past three years. Tetra Pak is investing tens of millions of euros to promote consumer awareness and work with local municipalities in its drive to increase recycling rates around the world.
