May 16, 2017 /3BL Media/ - Tetra Pak announced that it now uses renewable electricity for more than a third of its total annual consumption worldwide. This is up from 22% in 2015.
Key to this achievement was the purchase earlier this year of International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) for all its production facilities in China.
Food safety is, for good reason, the number one concern for food and beverage manufacturers, and therefore Tetra Pak’s number one priority. The Global Food Safety Conference is an important annual event for Tetra Pak, bringing together leaders in the industry, academia and regulation to discuss topics on securing safer food production worldwide.
