The beverage carton industry is fully committed to using energy efficient measures to reduce its environmental impact even further, with each member company having its own CO₂ reduction targets in place:

• Tetra Pak's climate programme focuses on three areas: favouring renewable materials and energy; reducing energy needs and emissions; and engaging with transportation suppliers. Its climate goal is to cap greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain at 2010 levels by 2020.

• The five pillars of Elopak's FutureProof 2020 Strategy also take account of the entire value chain, including a 25% reduction in energy use and a 15% reduction in transportation emissions by 2020.

• SIG Combibloc aims to save 40% CO₂ emissions by 2015 in all of its worldwide production sites (ref year 2009) and has developed a new aseptic carton structure, which reduces the carbon footprint by 28%.
