Tetra Pak, the global leader in food processing and packaging solutions, has signed a contract with OPI, a Riyadh-based paper mill producing 180 thousand tons of duplex board annually.
This is the group’s first agreement of its kind with a paper mill to recycle used beverage cartons in Saudi Arabia.
This is an industry-first joint initiative with a paper mill in Arabia and it is expected that by 2020, OPI will be recycling approximately 6,000 tons of used beverage cartons annually.
Niels Hougaard, managing director, Tetra Pak, said: “Tetra Pak has been at the forefront of recycling for many years and our 2020 recycling goal is an integral part of Tetra Pak’s strategy to drive environmental excellence.”
He said: “By collecting and recycling used beverage cartons and turning them into valuable materials, we protect natural resources, generate less waste and reduce climate impact.”
He said: “We do not own or operate collection infrastructure and recycling plants, but we make specific investments and provide technical expertise and experience gained globally with recycling partners in countries where carton recycling is required. We also cooperate with all key stakeholders, public institutions, waste management and collection companies, NGOs, retailers and our customers to make recycling work.”
Hussam Nasser, Environment Manager Tetra Pak Arabia Area, said “By facilitating the collection and recycling of used beverage cartons, we can turn them into valuable raw materials for new products. Through this process we protect natural resources, reduce waste and climate impact. We believe recycling is an investment in our future and a competitive advantage for our customers.”
Tetra Pak’s fully recyclable packages enable both customers and consumers to make positive environmental choices.
This agreement between the two groups demonstrates Tetra Pak’s commitment to driving environmental excellence and to contribute to Saudi Vision 2030.
