This document discusses driving carton recycling value chains. It notes that in 2016, 644,000 tons of packaging materials were invoiced in China, with 153,000 tons of used beverage cartons recycled. Recycling used beverage cartons faces challenges including low profit margins for collectors due to high transportation costs. China's ban on waste imports also impacts carton recycling by lowering waste paper prices and requiring investment in local recycling infrastructure.

5. Our commitment to sustainability is deep-rooted
Reducing food waste
Increasing food availability
Improving resource
efficiency
Our founder, Ruben Rausing,
was a firm believer that a
package should save more
than it costs.
When food is packaged, it can
be transported and made
available to consumers
everywhere in a safe, efficient
and affordable way
6. PROTECTS
WHAT’S GOOD
Environmental Excellence forms part of
our Sustainability approach
We are driven by our vision to make
food safe and available, everywhere.
Our innovative and market-leading
processing and packaging solutions are
making that vision a reality worldwide.
We make social responsibility a
priority when it comes to people. We
seek to support communities wherever
we operate and provide opportunities
for our employees around the world.
We strive to play an active role in
shaping a better future, supporting the

16. Increase consumer awareness
• Drive consumer campaigns
• Drive school programmes
• Partner with local organisations
We teach school children in Turkey
about recycling
Since the start of 2005, the
recycling awareness programme
“Little Things Renew Nature”
has been seen by over a million
children in Istanbul, Bursa
and Izmir.

17. Support collection and sorting infrastructure
Tetra Pak India forms waste dealers club
Tetra Pak India brought together
NGOs, recyclers, scrap dealers
and street waste pickers in Delhi,
India. As a result, the city now
has a waste dealers club
(Paryavaran Mitra) and the
process for collecting used beverage cartons has been
significantly improved.

18. Boost business opportunities for recycling
entrepreneurs
Increased recycling in China
With development support from Tetra Pak, the
Chinese recycling company, Hangzhou Fulun
Ecology Technology increased its recycling
capacity from 20k tonnes of paper to 35k tonnes
(75% increase) in just under 10 years. They now
also recycle the plastic and aluminium (PolyAl)
from used beverage cartons, and sell it to plastic
recyclers and fireworks manufacturers.

Expand market
opportunities for
recycled materials
• Recommend recycling solutions
• Support technological developments
19. Expand market opportunities for recycled materials
• Match recycled materials and market needs
• Promote recycled end-products
Roofing tiles in Brazil
Since 2000, we have supported the market
for roofing tiles made out of plastic and
aluminium from recycled beverage cartons.
Manufacturers and local universities
cooperated to enable material analyses,
which led to important product improvements.
Now, over 15 roofing tile manufacturers are
operating in Brazil, producing a million tiles each year.

Market Overview
Recoveredpaper (OCC) price Recycledplastic price
• The demand of recoverd paper is expected to increase the coming years due to growthing economies, and
UBC price is very competitive compared with OCC under current market environment.
25. China ban on waste imports
Butterfly Effect
• Not prepared for the change
• Need to find a new home for the
waste
• Investing recycling infrastructure,
and rebuild the waste management
strategy
&
• Decreased importvolume and
strict customs inspection
• Shortage of raw material and
looking for alternatives
• Overseas investment
• Phase out SME
&
• Potential destination for waste
• Not enough capacity to consume the
excessive material
• Expansion and transformation
underway
• Reshaping the global supply chain
• Additional costto improve the quality
• Volatile market price
• Raise public awareness and trigger
further action to tackle waste problems
26. China ban on waste imports
Impact on UBC recycling
Challenges Opportunities
• Impact on the current collection models,
especially for UBC collect with mixed paper
• Lower waste price in some markets
positions UBC as a less attractive source of
raw material
• Pressure to remove UBC to improve quality
• Recognized as valuable material if it can be
collected at a reasonable price
• Investing recycling infrastructure to recycle
UBC locally
• Higher waste price encourages UBC
collection and recycling(China)
• Newcomer step into the market due to raw
material shortage
