The Beverage Carton Industry Roadmap to 2030 and Beyond
Beverage cartons are a recyclable low carbon packaging solution, and as such contribute to a variety of societal and environmental objectives. Building on the benefits of beverage cartons, ACE’s (the Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment) members have adopted an ambitious vision for the future: we will deliver the most sustainable packaging for resilient food supply systems which is renewable, climate positive and circular.
Our industry has adopted tangible and ambitious commitments for 2030 and beyond that will enable us to continue our sustainability journey and move towards our vision. For example, our members commit to produce beverage cartons only from renewable and/or recycled materials, to decarbonize our value chain in line with the 1.5° target, to achieve a 90% collection and a 70% recycling rate. However, we cannot achieve this alone. We need an enabling EU policy framework to provide predictability and stability for investments and innovation over the next decade. We will measure and report on our progress on a regular basis and where metrics do not currently exist, we will contribute to developing the metrics to do so.
