The company plans to showcase its latest innovations in food and processing solutions, while also emphasizing its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
One of the highlights of Tetra Pak's presentation will be the introduction of its latest innovation, Tetra Recart, an environmentally sound alternative to traditional cans and glass jars.

Additionally, the package is composed of approximately 69% renewable paperboard material, sourced from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources, with Forest Stewardship Council certification.
In addition to Tetra Recart, Tetra Pak will showcase its packaging portfolio, designed to meet evolving consumer expectations. Their packaging ensures distribution of safe food across the country without the need for preservatives or refrigeration. The company will also present its capabilities in the processing of various prepared foods, including hummus, cream cheese, ready meals, tomato ketchup, and an assortment of desserts.
Speaking on its participation at the global event, Cassio Simões, Managing Director, Tetra Pak South Asia said, "For over 35 years, Tetra Pak has remained steadfast in its commitment to ensuring food safety and accessibility throughout India, guided by our brand promise to 'PROTECT WHAT'S GOOD.' Aligned with this ethos, our innovative solutions aim to unlock a new future for the food and beverage industry in an environmentally sustainable manner.
