The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE Ireland), has announced a partnership with Panda to improve the recycling process of cartons placed on the Irish market.
As part of the collaboration, Tetra Pak and other ACE Ireland members have funded the installation of a state-of-the-art robotic sorting technology at Panda’s facility in Dublin.
Awantika Chadha, Sustainability Manager, Tetra Pak, comments, “Carton packaging plays a crucial role in the safe delivery of food and beverages across Ireland. As a recyclable, low carbon packaging solution, it is vital that our industry works together to ensure carton recycling infrastructure is as efficient as possible to boost overall recycling rates. This initiative marks the latest step in our ongoing investment in recycling solutions. Through our partnership with ACE Ireland, we are committed to improving the resilience of our food supply chain by working closely with the Government and waste management companies to further increase carton recycling rate.”
