NETHERLANDS-based juice producer Riedel is transitioning its Van de Boom syrup range from metal cans into SIG carton packs made of the packaging material SIG Terra Forest-based polymers.
SIG said 95% of this carton packaging material is forest-based – including polymers linked to forest-based renewable materials via a mass balance system.
All three key raw materials of the packaging material come from certified responsible sources via mass-balance systems: paperboard is from FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources; forest-based renewable polymers are certified according to ISCC PLUS; and an ‘ultra-thin’ layer of aluminium which protects against light and oxygen is covered by ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) certification.
The move to carton is described as underscoring Riedel’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Riedel’s journey toward more sustainable packaging began in 2018 with the move of CoolBest and Appelsientje into SIG carton packs made of SIG Terra Forest-based polymers packaging material. In 2022, Riedel replaced small PET bottles with SIG Smile carton packs.
“At Riedel, we believe that every step toward a more sustainable and healthier future counts,” said brand manager Julie van Bergen, Brand Manager at Riedel. “Transitioning our Van de Boom syrup range to carton packs with SIG’s innovative packing material not only allows us to significantly reduce our environmental impact but also enables us to offer healthier choices for consumers. With our new low-calorie syrups containing less sugar, we continue to provide high-quality products that align with evolving consumer preferences.:
