Eco-Friendly Aseptic Cartons

Innovation is bringing us new hope

Elopak, the global supplier of carton packaging and filling equipment, recently announced the launch of the Pure-Pak eSense carton -- a sustainable aseptic carton that was crafted without an aluminum layer. The brand leveraged traditional sustainably sourced paperboard to create a polyolefin blend barrier that replaces aluminum. This results in up to 50% lower carbon footprint than a standard Pure-Pak aseptic carton and full recyclability.

Since the Pure-Pak eSense carton doesn't contain an aluminum layer, the carton has the potential to be fully renewable and simplifies the recycling process. Additionally, the carton is designed with easy folding crease lines, which make it easier for consumers to empty all the product inside before folding it for more convenient recycling and reducing food waste.

Elopak’s Director of Sustainability Marianne Groven commented on the launch, stating, “the arrival of the Pure-Pak® eSense carton is very significant because it extends the environmental credentials of our cartons to customers in our aseptic segment.”
