Tetra Pak unveiled its Factory Sustainable Solutions offering, a factory-wide approach to energy, water and cleaning-in-place (CIP) optimization. 

It offers Food and Beverage producers a tailored blend of state-of-the-art technologies and leading plant integration capabilities, the company states. 

 Solutions can be integrated at any stage to recover and reduce the consumption of resources, such as energy, water and chemicals. Optimized resource consumption reduces long-term operational costs and related greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting compliance against ever-tightening sustainability standards, Tetra Pak states.

The ‘Factory Sustainable Solutions’ offering boosts state-of-the-art technologies, such as:

• Nanofiltration, which reclaims caustic cleaning liquid used for CIP. This solution developed by Tetra Pak allows for the recovery of clean detergent chemicals and water for future re-use, enabling up to 90% recovery of the total spent CIP liquid.
• Reverse Osmosis, using proprietary membrane filtration technology developed by Tetra Pak to improve resource efficiency across multiple applications, including milk separation and water re-use.

 “This launch is an incredibly exciting and significant milestone for us at Tetra Pak, especially our team who have been working hard to push the boundaries of the impact and value such an approach can bring for our customers," said Nicole Uvenbeck, Director Factory Sustainable Solutions and OEM Components at Tetra Pak.
