Tetra bio bags and nature
January 29th, 2010 by adminRecently, the public of the world has been aware of the dangers to the environment caused by non degradable plastics and there has been an increasing call for the use of degradable plastics.Also, in any packaging the golden triangle of health, pleasure and convenience must be adhered too as it is the current trend amongst the youth of the world.Tetra bio bags, which are manufactured by TetraPak have been in business since nineteen hundred and fifty three (1953) and have since made several additions and changes to their packaging.
The history of how they to popular use is long and illustrated.The first ones was launched in nineteen fifty three (1953) called the tetraclassic which the founder Ruben Rausing had been working on since ninieteen forty three (1943).Using a system of plastic and aluminum coated paperboard combined with an aseptic filling system, these cartons had the ability to be perfectly airtight.These initial cartons were tetrahedra, leading to the company’s name: TetraPak, derived from “four” in the Greek languageAnother one called the TetraBrik was introduced in nineteen sixty three (1963), which was a rectangular cuboid carton.Later, more cartons were launched such as the tetrawedge which was wedge shaped and tetraprisma which was round octagonal and then there was the tetrafino which was a pouch shaped packaging.Some other tetra bio bags include tetrarex(gable top), tetratop(paper and plastic moulded in one) and the now discontinued tetraking.Recently, tetra bio bags have been introduced for vegetables opposing the tin culture.This new tetra bio bags, called tetrarecart are laminated paper boxes and allow for more subtle reprocessing of vegetables than canning permits.Cartons called tetraprisma Aspetic packages with re closable screw caps are being used by wineries to sell five hundred milliliters and one liter boxes. Although unsuited for long term storage or aging of wines, the tetra bio bags save weight and space and eliminate the concerns of glass bottle disposal, saving consumers money.
There is an evolution and responsibility on the manufacturers of tetra bio bags i.e. the packs.A hundred percent traceability in wood fibers in its paperboard from suppliers in Europe and south America has been achieved by tetra pack who make the tetra bio bags.These cartons are green with a competitive environmental footprint.They are easy to transport as they are lighter in weight than glass and also take up less space.
The growth in the use tetra bio bags is expected to be even more as the consumption of milk and other packages liquids is going up steadily with the emergence of more economies and more additions to the middle class of the world. Today, the packaging itself almost acts as the salesman and does the job of attracting the consumer’s interest.Many countries use tetra bio bags today from Sweden to China to India.
