The evolution of aluminum-free cartons, linked to forest-based polymers
SIG Terra Alu-free Full barrier Forest-based polymers*
Discover SIG Terra Alu-free Full barrier Forest-based polymers, the evolution of aseptic cartons with no aluminum layer and all main components, paperboard and polymers, linked to forest-based renewable materials using the ISCC mass balance approach. For even higher renewability and a further reduced carbon footprint. Maintaining full protective barrier properties, high quality standards, nutritional value, and shelf-life.
Suitable for all kinds of filled goods
SIG Terra Alu-free Full barrier Forest-based polymers protects all main beverage categories such as liquid dairy, fruit juices, nectars and plant-based beverages over long periods of time without the need for refrigeration.
Even higher renewable share
All main materials used in the packaging material and closure, paperboard and polymers, are linked to forest-based renewable materials.
Even lower carbon footprint
This solution reduces the already low carbon footprint of our carton packs even further, thanks to its innovative packaging material with no aluminum layer and polymers linked to forest-based renewable materials.
Only 2 main materials
By taking out the aluminum layer and replacing it with an innovative, ultra-thin, polymer-based barrier, SIG Terra Alu-free Full barrier Forest-based polymers offers the potential to simplify the recycling process for beverage cartons, with just two materials to separate (paperboard and polymers) instead of three.
ISCC PLUS certified forest-based polymers
The polymers used for the closure and the lamination of the paperboard are linked to wood residues from paper-making through a mass-balance system, independently certified by ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification).
*All main materials of the packaging material and closure, paperboard and polymers, are linked to forest-based renewable materials via a certified mass-balance system.
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.
