Tetra Pak has released its inaugural Arabia sustainability report, exemplifying major advancements in circularity and environmental leadership. The report underscores Tetra Pak’s pioneering efforts to establish a comprehensive recycling infrastructure for carton packages, setting a regional benchmark in the Middle East.

Tetra Pak moved the dial toward a regional circular economy in a landmark agreement between Tetra Pak and Union Paper Mills that brings capacity to recycle 10,000 tonnes of carton packages waste annually in the UAE. Through efforts to establish advanced recycling systems across the region and push circularity, Tetra Pak has secured a combined investment of more than $3.6 million in carton packages recycling infrastructure through strategic partnerships with UPM in the UAE, and Obeikan Paper Industries and Saudi Top Plastics in Saudi Arabia. “At Tetra Pak, we believe in leading by example, and our investments in recycling infrastructure are a testament to our commitment to sustainability and an even deeper commitment to supporting our customers achieve their sustainability goals,” said Marcelo Piva, sustainability director, Middle East and Africa. “This report highlights our ongoing efforts toward a circular economy, and our contributions to a more sustainable future for the region.”

The report goes on to highlight Tetra Pak’s flagship circularity initiatives, such as:

• Water filtering station at IFFCO Nabatat Plant in Saudi Arabia: Tetra Pak has collaborated with IFFCO Group to invest in a water filtering station that recovers and reuses 95 percent of the water used in the equipment, significantly reducing water wastage and enhancing resource utilization.

• School milk programs: Tetra Pak supports school milk programs in Yemen and Iraq, providing fortified milk to 10,000 children in Yemen and reaching 800,000 students across 1,300 schools in Iraq.

Additionally, Tetra Pak’s Jeddah factory that exports to 11 countries in the Middle East, has rolled out several energy and water conservation initiatives and cut material waste through innovative technologies, demonstrating the company’s commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint. As a first-mover in this critical space, Tetra Pak’s initiatives not only set new industry standards, but act as a catalyst driving meaningful change across the region.
