Elopak Reduces Emissions by 20%

Elopak, a global supplier of carton packaging and filling equipment, announced a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG  emissions since 2020, marking significant progress toward the company’s target of a 42% reduction by 2030.  The company's value chain emissions (Scope 3) also dropped by 7% since 2020. Details were provided in its 2022 Sustainability Report.

In 2022, Elopak set ambitious targets for reaching net zero emissions by 2050,  which were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

“I am pleased that we are continuing to make great progress across several aspects ranging from employee engagement to our offering of bio-circular cartons,” Elopak’ s Sustainability Director Marianne Groven said in a statement. “The approval of our net zero targets by the SBTi marks a significant milestone for 2022.”

In 2022, Elopak rolled out the Pure-Pak® eSense: an aseptic carton made without an aluminum layer. This results in a 50% lower carbon footprint compared to a conventional aseptic carton and helps simplify the recycling process.

The company also boosted the sales of its most sustainable products, increasing the proportion of fully renewable cartons for fresh milk in Europe from 18% of sales in 2021 to 30%. Elopak has sourced 100% of the fibers for its cartons from controlled sources in line with the standards set by the FSC™ since 2014.
