Carrefour, one of the biggest distribution chains in Europe, is offering three different types of UHT (ultra-high temperature processed) milk in SIG Combibloc’s combibloc EcoPlus 1,000-mL aseptic carton in Spain. The carton is made of the EcoPlus structure, which SIG Combibloc says generates less CO2 compared to a conventional 1-L carton of the same format.

Says SIG Combibloc, with the combibloc EcoPlus, the CO2 savings can measure up to 28% (depending on the opening solution) compared to the conventional 1-L carton of the same format from the company. This is due to the material composition: The main component of the combibloc EcoPlus is unprocessed cardboard (at more than 80%), made from renewable and entirely bio-based Forest Stewardship Council-certified raw-material wood that gives the carton stability. A razor-thin polyamide layer serves as a barrier to protect the product from flavor loss and external odors. Fine polyethylene layers are added to the structure internally and externally. The inner layer forms a liquid barrier for the product; the outer layer keeps moisture out.
