Accelerating expansion of technology towards smaller carbon footprint

Packaging solutions that offer a smaller carbon footprint than traditional packaging are Terphane’s top priority. Our developments and investments in
new technologies help lower the environmental impacts of packaging materials, both in the production process and after the product’s use.
Metallized flexible plastic packaging is rapidly replacing traditional aluminum-foil packaging and rigid containers. In both Europe and South America,
this trend is far ahead of the U.S., with leading categories including tomato-based products, powdered milk, soups and coffee, particularly with stand
up pouches.
