Paper Straws

Tetra Pak has introduced a paper straw that is fully functional and meets internationally recognised food safety standards. 

This is an important step in our vision to deliver a package made entirely from plant-based packaging materials, contributing to a low-carbon circular economy.

Furthermore, Tetra Pak has decided not to apply for patent protection on the numerous technical improvements made on the equipment and the materials, and instead put these innovations into the public domain to support the industry in achieving its common goal of driving towards a low-carbon circular economy and for the entire supply base for paper straws to expand and grow quickly.

We invite all suppliers and customers to use our knowledge and join forces with us to ramp up production as quickly as possible.

Made from FSC™ certified paper and recyclable with the rest of the package, the new paper straw will be available on a wide range of portion packages.

Tetra Pak is accelerating the expansion of its paper straws offering to ensure further renewable and low carbon materials across the range of packaging solutions. The aim of this is to address a broad range of customer sustainability needs without compromising on food safety, while still delivering on the end-user drinking experience.
