Lower results for beverage cartonsin Climate Change
● No closure
● Biobased closure
● Fully biobased carton
● No transport packaging
5.0 kg CO2/1000 L 1.6 kg CO2/1000 L
Example biobased closure:
Substitution of 2.6 kg of fossil PE per 1000 packaging units by the same amount bio-based PE leads to a saving of 3.4 kg CO2-eq.

• Increased bioplastic content based on sugarcane leads to higher results in other impact categories
• Review availabilities of other sourcesfor bio-polymers is recommended

Breakfast Seminar April 19th 2017, Stockholm
Overarching conclusions & recommendations
● Low LCA results for beverage cartons in most environmental impact categories comparedto alternative systems in the segments Dairy, JNSD and Grab & Go in Sweden
● Benefit from use of renewable materials in production processes
● Use of biobased polyethylene instead of fossil-based material leads to lower results in ´Climate Change´
● Cultivation phase of biobased PE increases environmental impacts in other impactcategories
● With strong focus on climate change mitigation in Tetra Pak‘s policy, utilisation ofbiobased PE can be an applicable path
● Review of availability of others sources for bio-polymers is recommended to examine iflower environmental impacts can be achieved
