BillerudKorsnäs and Tetra Pak begin packaging collaborationFebruary 24, 2021
BillerudKorsnäs and Tetra Pak have started a collaboration to produce a package that comes one hundred percent from renewable resources. Today, recyclability is about 70 percent. New innovations to increase the durability of packaging have long been at the top of the agenda for both companies.“Our mission is to challenge conventional packaging for a sustainable future. 70 percent renewable material is a good start, but the only way to solve the major sustainability challenges we face is to do it together, ”says Malin Ljung Eiborn, EVP Sustainability & Public Affairs at BillerudKorsnäs.The collaborative innovation model consists of a number of defined projects, where experts from the two companies work together. BillerudKorsnäs also participates in collaborations around Treesearch, a Swedish collaboration platform for basic research, knowledge dissemination and competence building in the area of new materials and specialty chemicals from forest raw materials. The collaboration involves academia, industry, private foundations and the Swedish government, among others, and the aim is to transform pioneering basic research into high-tech innovations to meet the climate challenge."We want packaging that comes one hundred percent from renewable resources," says Eva Gustavsson, Tetra Pak."Treesearch is important, because we can get advanced research on new materials and new application areas, but also because we get the opportunity to build competence as more knowledgeable people enter the industry, who can develop more innovative products in the future" , says Malin Ljung Eiborn.BillerudKorsnäs and Tetra Pak are now working together long-term to develop a package that comes one hundred percent from renewable resources.“We want a package that comes one hundred percent from renewable resources. We need several new innovations to find new materials, which can create a good barrier. We must act together to change the industry. There are so many challenges and a great need for new solutions ", says Eva Gustavsson, Vice President Material & Package at Tetra Pak.
