This collaboration marks a major milestone for Tetra Pak, as the company continues to expand its partnership with recyclers to develop the collection and recycling infrastructure of beverage cartons in the North. Prior to this agreement, used beverage cartons collected in the northern region had to be transported to the South for recycling by two Tetra Pak's partners in the collection network for used beverage cartons.

This new initiative will surely support the entire value chain to fulfill their sustainability ambitions. "We will build and maintain the collection of used beverage cartons in the northern provinces and cities through Biopa's existing network as well as continuously establish new collection stations in industrial zones, apartment buildings, and other key areas," said Mr. Phan Cong Bang, General Director of Biopa. "Through this three-party cooperation agreement, we hope to make it easier for people to access carton collection and increase the carton recycling rate in Vietnam", Mr. Bang reaffirmed.
