It’s expected that Tetra Pak cartons with FSC labels will reach two billion in 2010 in China alone, with a goal of reaching 14bn FSC-labelled Tetra Pak packages sold in China in 2011.
Since the introduction of the world’s first FSC-labelled liquid food cartons in the UK in 2007, Tetra Pak has introduced FSC-labelled cartons in several markets around the globe, with the total number exceeding 2.3bn in 2009.
“Tetra Pak is committed to sustainable development and is working together with suppliers, customers, consumers and NGOs to create a green chain from the upper stream all the way down to the end user,” said Hudson Lee, president of Tetra Pak China. “We’re working hard to support responsible forest management and certification in China, building a convenient platform for consumers to be able to support environmental protection and participate in low-carbon activities by teaming up.”
Tetra Pak is actively supporting China’s sustainable forest management efforts. Since 2006, Tetra Pak has been working with WWF, the China Green Foundation (CGF) and the forestry authority to promote responsible forest management, to provide support for China’s forests to get certified and to provide support for the local sustainable forest management system in the country.
