Tetra Pak expanded its homogenizer portfolio, offering machines with Outokumpu Circle Green stainless steel, a material that boasts a carbon footprint up to 93% lower when compared to the global industry average for stainless steel, the company said.

This material will be available as an option for all models in Tetra Pak’s homogenizer line in Europe from June, before rolling out globally later in the year. 

Choosing Tetra Pak homogenizers with a Circle Green stainless-steel hood offers food and beverage manufacturers a viable path to reducing their Scope 3 emissions, a vital yet challenging aspect of achieving net-zero goals, the company stated. Depending on the model, using Circle Green on a Homogenizer will reduce the CO₂ emissions by between 160kg to 1370kg per machine, the company claimed.

This strategic collaboration with Outokumpu marks the beginning of a partnership that will see the two companies explore other applications of Circle Green across the Tetra Pak equipment portfolio 

"Innovation sits at the heart of our philosophy as a business and our approach to sustainability. The incorporation of Circle Green into our product portfolio is an important step in leveraging the latest innovations to improve our upstream emissions, whilst also helping to reduce emissions at customer sites. Working together to help both Tetra Pak and our customers to reach our individual sustainability goals is fundamental to our promise to protect what’s good," said Fiona Liebehenz, Vice President of Key Components Plant Solutions and Channel Management, Tetra Pak.
