Sustainability value offer of cartons
Initials/YYYY-MM-DD
General
Environmental credentials of cartons
One of the most sustainable options for food and beverage packaging
• Cartons are recyclable!
• Used cartons are converted into tissue, paper-based products and even building materials
General
WHYIS IT IMPORTANT?
► Renewability is a key differentiator… Adding renewability to recyclability creates a new leading edge in the evolution of packaging
► Renewable materials have a low Carbon footprint
► Awareness & demand increase► More stakeholders and consumers
are calling for renewability and responsible sourcing practices
Mainly made of renewable raw materials that re-grow overtime.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):“Renewable resources” are natural resources that can be remade, re-grown or regenerated in a relatively short period of time. Examples of renewable resources are plants and trees from agriculture and forestry.

General
100% of the paperboard utilized for our cartons comes FSC & controlled sources – i.e. the board meets a minimum forest management performance level and is 3rd party verified against environmental, social and ethical performance, including verification of legality
Sustainably sourced paperboard
► The trees do not come from high conservation value or intact natural forests
► The trees are replaced either through planting or through natural regeneration
► The local characteristics of the forest, including biodiversity and the practices of people using the forest, are protected

Global Warming Potential
Metric describing the potential to contribute
to increase in the average temperature
of the Earth’s surface. Expressed
as kg CO2 equivalents
Cartons show low global warming potential compared to a range of PET systems
Use of plant based plastic for the instead of fossil-based materials leads to lower results in “Climate
Change”
Benefits from the use of renewable materials in production processes
61% Lower CO2 footprint vs. regular PET bottles
