Tetra Pak is a world leading food processing and packaging solutions company. For over 70 years, we have innovated to deliver on our purpose to commit to making food safe and available, everywhere and we promise to protect what's good: food, people and the planet. We do this by working closely with our customers, consumers, partners and people all over the world.
We mean to protect food, through our processing, packaging and service activities. This involves protecting people both inside and outside our organisation, as well as protecting the future of our planet, our customers and our company.
We work together with our customers to provide food and beverage processing and packaging solutions that reach all corners of the world. We’re passionate about delivering food of the highest quality and safety to people, wherever and whenever it’s needed.
Tetra Pak was founded by Dr. Ruben Rausing on the idea that a package should save more than it costs. Armed with this mindset today, our ambition is that our commitments, solutions and partnerships help protect our planet by leaving a positive impact on our climate and resources.
We are committed to reduce the environmental footprint of our products and services, and consistently pursue and initiate collective actions that will help create a sustainable tomorrow without compromising food safety or quality.

Sustainability is at the core of the Tetra Pak agenda and it is shaping the way we do business. For the Food and Beverage industry, sustainability is rapidly moving from a differentiator to an asset to remain business-relevant. This is not only due to emerging regulations in the area but also to consumer demands that require businesses to react. Together with convenience and premiumisation, these trends are shaping Tetra Pak’s food and beverage categories and are guiding our strategy.
White milk still accounts for the largest proportion of total consumption. Milk continued to grow in 2022 and is expected to increase by 2.3 per cent around the world until 2025 – although except in Europe and North America, which are expected to see declines due to changes in consumption habits.
Natural cheese consumption is forecast to annually increase by 2.0 per cent until 2025 as brands focus on turning pandemic-induced habits into new routines while leveraging consumer enthusiasm for cooking and nutrition.
Tetra Pak develops innovation partnerships throughout the value chain – to create value for all partners and develop new long-term business opportunities. This approach differs from traditional customer-supplier relationships where customers specify what they want and suppliers deliver.
“To lead the sustainability transformation, we create and maintain an ecosystem of partnerships where selected partners bring their expertise to co-create and develop the technologies necessary to optimise the sustainability performance of our packaging solutions,” says Carina Ryden Pettersson, Director Materials & Recycling Partnerships. “We have developed this way of working for many years with partners from materials suppliers and customers to end-of-life recyclers.”
This approach has supported the development of non-foil barrier technologies in recent years. In 2022, we completed a 15-month commercial technology validation of a non-foil aseptic packaging system, which includes both a non-foil barrier packaging material and a filling machine equipped with the necessary non-foil sealing technology. In 2023, the industry-first fibre-based barrier packaging solution will be verified for the European market.
