“We’re extremely proud to be the first dairy in North America to bring this innovative new carton to Canadians and we hope that our actions will inspire others to join us on a journey toward a more sustainable future.”

Made from natural and unbleached Forest Stewardship Council-certified paperboard, the carton is 18% lighter compared to the existing traditional milk cartons and reduces CO₂ emission by 27%.

The packaging has already been launched in European markets.

The transition to sustainable packaging highlights Organic Meadow’s support for responsible forestry management and cutting the use of fossil fuels.

Earlier this month, Elopak introduced an eco-friendly aseptic carton, Pure-Pak eSense, to add to its sustainable packaging range.
