A manufacturing facility for aseptic carton packages worldwide
Tetra Pak has inaugurated its new packaging material plant in Hohhot, Northern China, which operates completely on power from renewable resources.
The new plant in Hohhot is one of the company’s manufacturing facilities for aseptic carton packages worldwide. The total investment in the country by the company is E250m, of which it has spent E60m to construct the plant, with a total capacity of approximately 50 billion packs a year in its four Chinese plants.
The company claims that the Hohhot facility is the first manufacturing plant in Inner Mongolia, which consumes approximately 20 million kWh of green power annually and would save around 16,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Dennis Jonsson, president of and chief executive officer of the Tetra Pak Group, said: This new plant is another example of our focus on resource-efficient production and our commitment to protecting the environment. By putting leading environmental programmes into every part of our business we believe we will continue to deliver competitive advantages to our customers.
