Tetra Pak hopes to address plastic waste concern with paper straws
The straws would be used with the company’s portion-size carton packages.
Pully, Switzerland-based Tetra Pak said it aims to launch a paper straw that is suitable for its portion-sized carton packages before the end of the year.
The release is part of a broader program aimed at addressing the issue of plastic straw waste. Straws on portion packs are an integral part of the packaging system, but they are also a part of the plastic waste problem if not disposed of properly, Tetra Pak said.
