Joanna Foods has set itself a mission to create products where not only the beverages, but the production process and packaging as well, are intended to have as little impact on the environment as possible. This is where carton packs from SIG Combibloc come into play. On average, the carton packs consist up to 75% of pulp obtained from wood, a renewable raw material. Carton packs have obvious environmental benefits – they are extremely lightweight, have a small CO2 footprint, consume very few resources, and are fully recyclable.
