SIG Terra Forest-based polymers
Linked to up to 95% forest-based renewable materials
Meet the demand for sustainable packaging for all filled goods by combing any standard SIG standard packaging material with polymers linked to forest-based renewable materials
using the ISCC mass balance approach. It reduces the already low carbon footprint of SIG standard packaging material by up to -41%.1
Up to -41% CO21
Linked to up to 95% forest-based renewable materials2
Responsibly sourced raw materials
All three key raw materials come from certified responsible sources via mass-balance systems. The paperboard is from FSC™-certified forests and other controlled sources (FSC™ trademark licence code: FSC™ C020428); the polymers are linked to ISCC PLUS certified forest-based renewable materials, and the ultra-thin layer of aluminum is covered by Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certification.
ISCC PLUS certified forest-based polymers
SIG Terra Forest-based polymers packaging material uses tall oil as a feedstock. Tall oil is a by-product of the paper industry, rather than a crop grown on agricultural land that could otherwise be used for food. The polymers used for the closure and the lamination of the paperboard are independently certified by ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification).
*Based on independent ISO-compliant life-cycle assessment cradle to grave for Europe
Our SIG Terra packaging material with forest-based renewable polymers use tall oil as a sustainable feedstock. Tall oil is a by-product of the paper industry. The renewable polymers used by SIG are sourced via a mass-balance system with ISCC PLUS certification.
SIG Terra: industry-leading sustainable packaging innovations
SIG Terra is our marker for sustainable packaging innovations, which we constantly evolve for better. Leveraging our R&D expertise and unique filling technology, we achieved a track record of industry-firsts in simplifying structures and reducing the weight of packaging, with milestones including the world's first aluminum-free aseptic carton in 2010 and the world's first recycle-ready bag-in-box for water in 2021.
