Closing the loop with recycled plastics
SIG Terra Circular polymers*
Meet the world’s first and only aseptic carton packaging material linked to post-consumer recycled plastics by applying the ISCC mass balance approach. This innovative solution contributes to the circular economy and helps protect natural resources by replacing virgin with post-consumer recycled plastics. SIG Terra Circular polymers is a solution for all types of liquid food and beverage.
*mass balance
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 (trademark licence code: FSC™ C020428) and other controlled sources, the polymers are linked to ISCC PLUS certified recycled materials, and the ultra-thin layer of aluminum is covered by Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certification.
ISCC PLUS certified recycled polymers
The polymers used for the closure and the lamination of the paperboard are linked to post-consumer recycled materials through a mass-balance system, independently certified by ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification). Mixed household waste is transformed into recycled polymers that offer the same high quality and have the same properties as polymers made entirely from virgin raw materials, making them safe for food packaging.
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.
