From China's reform and opening up to its accession to the World Trade Organization, Tetra Pak has been keeping up with the demand of domestic liquid food market and actively introducing the latest food and beverage packaging technology. Since 1972, Tetra Pak has set up more than 10 branches in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, and established a nationwide distribution network, and opened advanced packaging material production factories in Beijing, Foshan, Kunshan and Hohhot, which can meet or even exceed the needs of customers in China. With the rapid development of dairy industry in China, Tetra Pak products have been widely recognized in China market.
In September, 2004, Tetra Pak China invested RMB 620 million in a new packaging factory, which was officially put into operation. In August 2006, an additional investment of 30 million euros doubled the annual production capacity from 8 billion bales to 654.38+06 billion bales. In March 2007, Tetra Pak announced that it would invest more than 600 million yuan to establish a world-class packaging factory in Hohhot. In 20 12, the second phase investment of tetra pak Hohhot factory was completed, and the total designed production capacity of China reached 60 billion bales. With the substantial increase in China's total production capacity, Tetra Pak will be able to cope with the possible increased market demand in China in the next five years, which also proves Tetra Pak's confidence in the China market.
While increasing investment, Tetra Pak also introduced the world's most advanced packaging technology and concepts into the China market. From June 5, 2002 to 2002 10, Tetra Pak set up a design center in Foshan to develop novel packaging designs and concepts. At the beginning of 2003, Tetra Pak Shanghai Processing Equipment System Center was established to provide pretreatment equipment for customers engaged in liquid food production. Tetra Pak Packaging (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. covers an area of 665,438+000 square meters, and advanced warehousing management can cooperate with Tetra Pak's rapidly expanding production capacity. The new factory in Beijing has introduced the most advanced production line equipment and related technical means in the world, such as: multi-color overprint technology; Computer automatic monitoring system for printing images and automatic quality tracking and detection system for the whole production process; Roll changing and static paper receiving. In February 2007, Tetra Pak announced the establishment of Tetra Pak's most advanced design conversion center in Beijing.

Ultra-high temperature sterilization technology;
Open the national market for dairy enterprises
Dr. Ruben Rausing, the founder of Tetra Pak, once said a proverb: "The savings brought by packaging should exceed its cost." Packaging has made great contributions to global food safety, nutrition and human health. If there is no packaging, more than 50% of liquid food will not be delivered to consumers because of deterioration or pollution. Pasteurization has been regarded as a major breakthrough in food science since Pasteur invented pasteurization in the middle of19th century. With the emergence of aseptic processing technology and packaging in the 1940s, it brought another revolution to food science. From 65438 to 0989, the instant ultra-high temperature aseptic processing technology was praised by the American Institute of Food Technology as the most important achievement of food science in the past 50 years. Tetra Pak is a pioneer in aseptic packaging and processing technology.
Instantaneous ultra-high temperature sterilization (UHT) refers to heating the product to a high temperature (such as milk to 137 degrees Celsius) for only 4 seconds in a closed system, and then rapidly cooling it to room temperature. Combined with advanced aseptic packaging technology, this process can effectively preserve the nutrition and taste of dairy products or beverages. At the same time, the process from packaging material molding to product filling is carried out in the sealed sterile area of the same machine, which ensures safety and hygiene and saves space.
Aseptic processing technology and packaging make the product have a long shelf life at room temperature, which is helpful to transport high-quality liquid food to distant places at low cost. It not only makes the food production process more reasonable, but also shortens the storage period and provides consumers with more convenience and choices. The uniqueness of china dairy market lies in transporting a large number of fresh and high-quality milk sources produced in North China such as Inner Mongolia to a broader South China market. Tetra Pak provides technical solutions suitable for long-distance transportation, convenient storage and long-term preservation.
Tetra Pak's packaging is trusted by customers and consumers because it ensures the safety, nutrition and freshness of food and brings great convenience to the storage and transportation of merchants and the use of consumers. High-quality products and all-round services make customers feel value for money, which provides a strong guarantee for the safety and profitability of customers' products.
environmental protection
With the improvement of our living standard and the enhancement of health awareness, the demand for milk, juice and other beverages is increasing, and the resulting waste Tetra Pak packaging is also increasing. However, because consumers don't understand that Tetra Pak packaging can be recycled, they often throw away discarded packaging. In fact, it is completely "resource dislocation." Through the treatment and processing of professional manufacturers, waste tetra pak packaging can produce a large number of recycled paper, floors, trash cans, clothes hangers, table tennis bats, trays and other daily necessities and industrial materials, which is not only conducive to environmental protection, but also can produce good economic benefits.
Tetra Pak is a six-layer composite paper package, in which about 75% of the ingredients are high-quality long fiber pulp, which is undoubtedly a high-quality raw material for recycled paper. In order to protect the living environment of human beings and with a high sense of social responsibility, Tetra Pak actively helps to develop Tetra Pak packaging recycling technology. A new industrial chain of waste composite paper packaging recycling from south to north is gradually taking shape, and professional recycling plants have been established in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and other places.
Recycling technology is mainly divided into three categories:
1. Hydraulic pulp recovery technology: separating the pulp in Tetra Pak packaging to produce recycled paper; Squeezing the plastic and aluminum components in Tetra Pak packaging into particles becomes a good raw material for producing plastic products.
2. Wood-plastic technology: tetra pak packaging itself contains high-quality paper fiber, aluminum and plastic, and it is made into wood-plastic products through crushing and extrusion, which makes full use of everything and has low cost. Indoor furniture, outdoor gardening facilities, industrial trays, etc. , popular and well received.
3. Color music board technology: waste tetra pak packaging is directly crushed and hot pressed to make color music boards. Color music boards can be made into many products, especially trash cans, which are beautiful and durable and have low cost.
4. Aluminum-plastic separation technology: Through special treatment, aluminum and plastic are separated from the aluminum-plastic composite film packaged by Tetra Pak, and refined into plastic particles and aluminum powder respectively. Completely decompose aluminum-plastic composite materials, greatly improving the recycling value of Tetra Pak packaging.
The general problem faced by recycling manufacturers is that waste milk and beverage paper packaging lack enough raw materials, and the production line is still in a state of "not enough to eat". Therefore, it is an urgent problem and a long process to publicize Tetra Pak packaging recycling knowledge, cultivate recycling habits and establish a convenient recycling system, which requires the joint efforts of manufacturers and society.
Tetra Pak actively participates in recycling, assists the government and relevant institutions to improve the waste recycling system, and promotes the optimization and upgrading of the recycling industry chain of milk, beverage and paper packaging. Nearly ten recycling enterprises have appeared in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Shandong, and a recycling industrial chain covering North China, East China and South China has taken shape. According to statistics, in the China market, the amount of milk and beverage paper packaging recovered after consumption of 201130,000 tons is equivalent to11300 million pieces of 250ml tetra pak packaging, which has been effectively recovered, and the recovery rate is close to 25%, which has doubled in the past three years.
In 20 1 1 year, Tetra Pak, together with China Packaging Federation and several dairy and beverage enterprises, launched the "Packaging Recycling Alliance", focusing on the sustainable development of the industry, and jointly launched the "20 10 Waste Sorting" public welfare education activity with the mission center and alliance of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, focusing on enhancing the public's environmental awareness and action.
