Plant Based Plastic

The plant-based polymers used in some Tetra Pak cartons, like their closures, are produced from sugarcane.

Plant-based polymer supplier Braskem has now reached 100% Bonsucro certified volumes of sugarcane derived bioethanol for Tetra Pak’s plant-based solutions, establishing full supply chain transparency.

Bonsucro provides a global platform for collective action to accelerate sustainability in the production and processing of sugarcane.

This third-party certification and product labelling of their sugarcane-derived packaging is a milestone. 

Customers can be assured that our rigorous sustainability standard has been met.

Our plant-based polymers are fully traceable to their sugarcane origin. We see plant-based materials as playing a key role in achieving a low-carbon circular economy. In the future all polymers we use will either be made from plant-based materials or from post-consumption recycled food grades. The use of plant-based materials such as paper and polymers, significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, supporting economic growth that is decoupled from fossil, finite sources.
