Tetra Pak

INTRODUCTION

Tetra Pak is a multinational food processing and packaging company of Swedish

origin. It was founded in 1951 in Lund, Sweden, by Ruben Rausing. It was Erik
Wallenberg who invented the tetrahedral package, today known as Tetra Classic.
The company recently celebrated its 50th foundation year in the year 2002. The
company is part of the Tetra Laval group which also includes Sidel – who
specialise in PET bottles – and DeLaval, a producer of dairy farming machinery
and food processing equipment.

ORIGIN

Ruben Rausing's sons Hans and Gad Rausing ran Tetra Pak from 1954 until 1985,
taking the company from a seven-person concern to one of Sweden's largest
corporations. At his death in 1983, Ruben Rausing was Sweden's richest person.

Tetra Pak's innovation is in the area of aseptic processing liquid food packaging
which, when combined with ultra-high-temperature processing (UHT), allows
liquid food to be packaged and stored under room temperature conditions for up to
a year. This allows for perishable goods to be saved and distributed over greater
distances without the need for a cold chain.

Tetra Pak's first product was a paper carton used for storing and transporting milk.
The first product was a package in the shape of a triangular pyramid (or
tetrahedron), called the Tetra Classic. Ruben Rausing and his team had been
working on the Tetra Classic design since 1944, and by 1952 had perfected
techniques for making his cartons fully airtight, using a system of plastic coated
paperboard. These initial cartons were tetrahedral, leading to the company's name,
derived from "four" in the Greek language. The first Tetra Classic package was
launched in 1952,[2] and in 1963 the company introduced Tetra Brik, a rectangular
cuboid carton. Later, Tetra Pak launched other packaging formats such as Tetra
Wedge (wedge-shaped), Tetra Prisma (round octagonal), and Tetra Fino (pouch-
shaped). Tetra Pak also produced other non aseptic packaging systems – including
Tetra Rex (gable-top), Tetra Top (paper and plastic moulded in one), Tetra Brik
(foldable paper/aluminum container), and the now-discontinued Tetra King.
 Tetra Pak

Recent innovations have seen the introduction of laminated paper boxes for
vegetables as an alternative to tinned goods. It is claimed that this new product,
Tetra Recart, allows for more subtle processing[3] of vegetables than canning
permits.

Since about 2007 some wineries have started selling wines in 500-millilitre (17 US
fl oz) and 1-litre (34 US fl oz) Tetra Prisma Aseptic packages with reclosable
screw caps. Although unsuited for long-term storage or aging of wines, they save
weight and space and eliminate the concerns of glass bottle disposal, saving
consumers money.

Our Core Values

PROTECTS WHAT'S GOOD

Our motto

Our motto, "PROTECTS WHAT'S GOOD", includes the entire value chain – from
suppliers to customers, distribution, employees, consumers and society. We protect
the food in our packages and do our best to help protect the environment. This
starts with the renewable material we use as the main component of our packages –
wood fibre.

Suppliers

Our partners are suppliers that are innovative, financially solid and, like us,
committed to product innovation. This enables us to ensure the high quality of our
suppliers’ materials.

Employees

We are a family company with strong core values. Our staff turnover is low. We
encourage a professional and respectful company culture by helping our employees
develop.

Customers

By investing in an extensive range of innovative solutions, we help foster a long-

term relationship with our customers. We do our best to earn respect through our
profound knowledge of the food industry in every step from processing to
consumption.

Retailers

Our efficient packaging distribution solutions protect profitability for retailers. We

make sure that packaged products are well protected on shelves, and help
distributors brand their products, helping protect and increase retailers’ image.

Consumers

We are committed to making food safe and available, everywhere. Our processing
and packaging protects the nutritional value and the original taste of food.
 Tetra Pak

Society

We have started school feeding programmes in more than 45 countries. We also

help with disaster relief projects worldwide and support programmes for children
in underprivileged areas.

We use carton board taken from well-managed forests and actively support
recycling activities around the world. All Tetra Pak factories are certified to an
international environment standard and all our market companies participate in
proactive environmental activities.

We believe in responsible industry leadership, creating profitable growth in

harmony with environmental sustainability and good corporate citizenship.

and support for market development with consumer education activities, we help
establish a base for sustainable economic development.

We promote school feeding programmes to create demand for local agricultural

products. School feeding not only benefits the school children’s health and
learning ability, it also creates jobs in the industrial and agricultural sectors.

Product development

We have Process Development Centres in the US, Brazil, Sweden, India,

Singapore and Japan. Our Centres are specialised in testing the processing and
packaging of new drinks.
 Tetra Pak

We work with customers and industry partners to develop new products for school
feeding, from drinks based on crops not previously packed in a liquid form or
fortified versions of an existing drink.

In 2003, Tetra Pak Indonesia developed a new innovative drink based on peas and
lentils, in close cooperation with the USA Dry Peas and Lentil Council. The
fortified drink was launched in a school feeding programme in Indonesia 2004.

In South Africa, we developed a drink based on pre-cooked soy and maize isolates.
The drink, called Nutri-Sip, is heavily fortified with 30 micronutrients, and is
distributed in a school feeding programme in Nasarawa State in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, a number of raw materials have been tested to develop a new drink
based on local produce. White and red sorghum, millet, maize and sassava have
been tested.

The possibilities are endless. Please contact us with enquiries about the multiple
formulations that we can process and pack to meet the nutritional requirements of
your feeding programme.

FOOD CATEGORIES

Milk

Always available in white

Milk is becoming more popular in developed countries too where enrichment,

flavours or removal of lactose all add value. These products are commonly found
on sale alongside more traditional types of milk.

UHT or Pasteurised milk?

The pasteurisation process involves heating milk to 72-75 degrees Celsius with a
holding time of 15-20 seconds before it is cooled. Along with correct cooling,
pasteurisation will supply milk with longer shelf life. With proper chilled
distribution, pasteurised milk has a shelf life of 5-15 days.
 Tetra Pak

Using UHT treatment, liquid food products are exposed to brief, intense heating to
temperatures in the range of 135 to 140 degrees Celsius. UHT treatment is a
continuous process which takes place in a closed system that prevents the product
from being contaminated by airborne micro-organisms.

The product passes through heating and cooling stages in quick succession.
Aseptic filling is an integral part of the process that avoids re-infection. The end
result is a product that can be conserved for around six months without
refrigeration

Carbonated soft drinks

Add a little sparkle

The basic elements in carbonated soft drinks are sugar, water and  flavouring.
Manufacturing carbonated soft drinks can be divided into the following sub-
processes: preparation of sugar solutions, water deaeration, blending and mixing of
flavours and concentrates, carbonation and then packaging.

Water is de-aired to avoid reactions that destroy the aromatic substances

(oxidation). If the drink is to be carbonated, water is 'impregnated' with carbon
dioxide. It is chilled and carbon dioxide is dissolved in the water under high
pressure. It is important that all the air has been removed otherwise the drink will
froth over when the package is opened.

Juice, nectar and still drinks

These are the drinks of choice for people who want to pop a sports drink at the
gym, quench thirst at the skate park, or share when hanging around with friends.
The still drinks market alone is worth over 100 billion litres a year and growing at
around 4%.

Juice is naturally contained in fruit or vegetables. It is prepared by mechanically

squeezing or macerating fresh fruits or vegetables. Juice is always 100 % fruit
juice.

Nectar is also made from fruit or vegetables but with a 25-99 % juice content and
usually with added sugar.

Still drinks contain 0-24 % juice content in fruit, vegetable or other flavours.
 Tetra Pak

We have a complete range of both processing and packaging solutions for juice,
nectar and still drinks in our product portfolio.

Soups and sauces

Soup – the trendy meal

Soups are making a strong comeback thanks to people looking for healthier
lifestyles. Prepared soups are convenient, quick to serve and inexpensive. They are
ideal for single-person households and busy families.

Soups are classified into three groups, clear soups, thick soups and chunky
soups.

Clear soups are usually bouillon and consommé. Thick soups are classified
depending upon the type of thickening agent used. Chunky soups are soups
containing pieces of food, such as meat, vegetables or pasta.

Sauces are another group of products set for a prosperous future. They are used
instead of spices, and low calorie products will attract consumers with new,
fascinating and exciting flavours.

Vegetables

It is said that we eat with our eyes before we take the first bite of our food. A plate
filled with colourful vegetables is not only pleasing to the eye, it is healthy too.
Naturally colourful ingredients from the vegetable kingdom strengthen the immune
system and help prevent illness and signs of ageing.

Choose more vegetables and go for colour and variety, to give your body the mix
of nutrients it needs.

Ready to eat vegetables such as carrots, corns, mushrooms and peas can be found
in different sizes of the Tetra Recart carton packages

Olive oil

Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, particularly

vitamin E. Olive oil brings many cardiovascular and digestive benefits, making
Mediterranean diets among the healthiest in the world.
 Tetra Pak

The oil is very sensitive to light and air, which quickly cause it to oxidise, go
rancid and lose vitamin E. It is very important to package the oil correctly to stop it
from going “off”.

Pet food

Pets have a central role in our lives and maybe it's true that a dog or a cat can be a
man's best friend. A pet offers you company, can give you exercise and is always
there for you. The interest in giving special attention to our pets has grown in the
last years, and not least when it comes to the food.

We offer a convenient carton package for wet pet food, all kinds of wet pet food
can be filled - chunks in gravy, chunks in gel and paté. The package is easy to
dispose of, easy to store and it's recyclable in existing carton waste streams. Good
for your four-legged friend, practical for you - and easy on the environment

Environment

Raw materials

To produce packaging materials, Tetra Pak uses paperboard (73%), plastic (22%)
and – for aseptic packages - aluminium foil (5%). Raw materials production has
the greatest environmental impact of all stages within the package life cycle.

The paperboard is made from wood - a renewable resource. To secure responsible

forestry, Tetra Pak works with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the
 Tetra Pak

Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
In 2009, Tetra Pak delivered more than 2.3 billion FSC certified and labelled
cartons. The paperboard provides stiffness and stability to the package.

The plastic (polyethylene) is used in layers on both sides of the paper structure to
protect the package from inside and outside moisture.

Cartons designed for long life or high acidity content contain aluminium foil,
which is about 6-micrometre (0.00024 in) thin. This layer provides additional
protection for the content against oxygen, bacteria, undesired flavours and light.

Transportation

Through the square shape and low ratio of package-to-content, the use of space is
optimised. Less transportation is thus needed for this type of package compared to
most other shapes and materials. Transportation of packaging material to factories
is also optimized (large rolls of material instead of prepared empty packages).
Aseptic packages also allows for transportation without consistent cooling, which
also reduces the environmental footprint.

Food preservation

The food production phase contributes with a significantly greater part of

greenhouse gases than the distribution phase does.[14] Prolonged shelf-life of
packaged food (e.g. through aseptic technology) contributes to a reduced
environmental footprint.

Recycling

Tetra Pak packages can be fully recycled. Availability of recycling facilities,

recycling methods and actual recycling rates vary from location to location.

Actual recycling rate of carton packages was 33% in Europe in 2009, continuously
increasing since 1992.
