The recyclable beverage carton PlantCarton ideally embodies this approach: it consists of at least 70% paper produced by means of responsible forestry. In this way, 80% of the plastic required can be saved compared to the common beverage carton. PlantCarton can therefore be the optimal alternative, especially for products aimed at a customer base that is concerned about sustainability. New Barn Organics, for example, already uses PlantCarton for its almond milk products, thus meeting the values of its customers. In addition, Evergreen Packaging offers a range of other innovative plant-based packaging solutions for various food applications, including cups and ice cream cartons made from renewable raw materials.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/carton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#cardboard<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/noplastic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#noplastic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/sustainable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#sustainable<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/changemaker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#changemaker<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-e2b683b8-cc89-46a3-a96f-a0df39f7bc54\">Product name:<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/pactivevergreen.com\/products-and-capabilities\/brands\/plant-carton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PlantCarton\u00ae<\/a><br\/><\/strong>Manufacturer: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pactivevergreen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pactiv Evergreen Inc.<\/a><\/strong><br\/>Project status: Concept \/\/ Prototype \/\/ Ready for market \/\/ <strong>Ready for series production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-d30bca0c-929c-4f9d-880c-08374335c815\">Source: Pactiv Evergreen Inc.<br\/>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendhunter.com\/trends\/plant-based-packaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trendhunter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plant-based beverage carton PlantCarton The plant-based packaging solutions from Pactiv Evergreen Inc. offer a sustainable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":586349,"template":"","material_status":[1190],"material_category":[1414],"material_type":[2187,2089,2090,2158],"material_food":[2082,2101],"material_topic":[2139,2088,2087,2104,2111],"class_list":["post-729724","material","type-material","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","material_status-series-production-ready","material_category-paper-cardboard-carton","material_type-recycled-paper-en-2","material_type-other-fibers","material_type-organic-origin","material_type-other","material_food-dairy-products-cheese","material_food-non-alcoholic-beverages","material_topic-alternative","material_topic-food-compliant","material_topic-organic","material_topic-recycled-en","material_topic-renewable-en-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MILK.
