The Tetra Brik Aseptic 1000 Edge with Bio-based LightCap 30 is made of 80% renewable resources.

Tetra Pak introduced a new version of Tetra Brik Aseptic 1000 Edge with Bio-based LightCap 30. The package is manufactured using a bio-based plastic film and cap, made from polymers derived from sugar cane. Combined with the paperboard, this lifts the share of materials from renewable sources in the package to above 80%, the threshold for four-star certification from Vinçotte, the Belgium-based accreditation agency that is recognized for assessing the renewable content of packaging products. This is the first aseptic carton package in the world to receive Vinçotte certification.
