Sustainability in the Food Industry

In a bid to reduce its carbon footprint, Tetra Pak has expanded its range of homogenizers to include eco-friendly options. The company has partnered with Outokumpu Circle Green to offer machines made from stainless steel that has a carbon footprint up to 93% lower than the global industry average.

The Importance of Homogenization

In the food and beverage industry, homogenization is a crucial step in the production process. From milk-based beverages to condiments, homogenization ensures that ingredients are evenly mixed and blended. With Tetra Pak's homogenizers featuring an exhaust system made from stainless steel "Circle Green", the company promises to reduce CO2 emissions between 160 kg and 1370 kg per machine, depending on the model.

Outokumpu's Commitment to Sustainability

According to Niklas Wass, Vice-President of Stainless Europe, Outokumpu, "Low-emission stainless steel is at the heart of sustainability solutions worldwide. It plays a fundamental role in accelerating the green transition and the food and beverage industry is a prime example where it can have a significant impact. We're proud to collaborate with Tetra Pak on this transformative initiative and hope to offer and develop sustainable solutions that facilitate decarbonization across the entire value chain."
