Episode 9 (EN): BusinessShift – Sustainability @Tetra Pak
Between regulation and reality: How Tetra Pak is shaping the circular economy — and what decision-makers can learn from it.
Beverage cartons are considered everyday products — but their structure is more complex than one might think. How can packaging be made more sustainable without compromising product protection? What is technically possible, what is required by law, and where do we really stand when it comes to recycling?
Guest:
Carolin Babendererde, Head of Sustainability DACH at Tetra Pak
Together with Tobias Kirchhoff and Dr. Bahar Cat-Krause, Head of Sustainability at TÜV Rheinland People & Business Assurance, she will discuss:
✅ the reality behind the myth of the “yellow bag”
✅ new approaches to chemical and mechanical recycling
✅ the dilemma surrounding recycled materials in the food sector
✅ the role of design for recycling and design for recyclability
✅ and why sustainability does not end at the factory gate, but begins with global responsibility
