SIG launches first aluminium-free carton in French ambient market

SIG launches first aluminium-free carton in French ambient market
2019-08-22

From: Packaging News

Aseptic carton packaging SIG has launched what it says is the world’s only aluminium-free aseptic carton pack with polymers linked to plant-based renewable material.


Launched in France for the first time by Candia, part of the leading French dairy cooperative Sodiaal, this is the first aluminium-free carton pack on the French ambient liquid dairy market.

While all SIG packs are recyclable, SIG said Signature Pack 100’s design protects the milk and maintains the shelf life performance expected in France for UHT milk without the need for an aluminium barrier layer.

By removing the aluminium layer and linking the polymers to renewable rather than fossil-based material.

The pack is made of 75% FSC-certified renewable paperboard from sustainably-managed forests. The polymers (protective layers and closure) that make up the rest of the pack are linked to forest-based renewable material through a certified mass balance approach.

Yves Legros, general manager of Candia: “By working with SIG we have succeeded in launching a new organic milk in the first aluminium-free UHT milk carton onto the French market, Candia is offering a new solution to consumers who want to cut the use of fossil fuels and buy organic milk in a more sustainable packaging.”

Melanie Revolte, marketing manager France at SIG, added: “We are very proud that Candia has chosen to launch its new organic milk in Signature Pack as part of its commitment to more sustainable packaging. This market launch in France will promote the use of renewable materials and reduce the carbon footprint of packaging without compromising functionality or recyclability.”
