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's 2020 targets are to have reduced CO₂ emissions by 50%, and energy useage by 35% in all its plants worldwide; achieved 100% renewable energy and gold standard CO₂ offset for all non-renewable energy; and to have put in place science-based CO₂ reduction targets across its entire value chain.
