In a landmark move to boost sustainability in packaging, Seoul Dairy Cooperative (SDC), Korea’s leading milk producer, has become the first company in the country to launch products in aluminum-layer-free full barrier aseptic carton packs that are recognized as recyclable under the country’s recyclability grading system. In a first move, SDC will offer organic white milk in SIG Terra Alu-free + Full barrier. This innovation, developed by SIG, is the world’s first full-barrier aseptic carton packaging material without an aluminum layer. It provides the same full-barrier protection as standard aseptic cartons and the same shelf life of up to 12 months.

A new SIG initiative, Clean Commit, is making it easier for consumers to understand the real benefits of aseptic packaging. Clean Commit is a consumer-focused digital platform and on-pack logo designed to raise awareness about the health, safety, and environmental advantages of aseptically packaged food.

Damavand, a renowned company in the Greek tomato industry, is bolstering its long-standing partnership with SIG as it upgrades its production facility in Filia, Karditsa in central Greece. The food manufacturer has invested for the future by installing a new cutting-edge SIG Compact 12 Aseptic Food filling machine for aseptic cartons to enhance its operational efficiency and unlock new levels of flexibility and product innovation.
