The upcoming ‘World Food India 2023,’ scheduled from November 3rd to 5th at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, is gearing up for its second edition. Tetra Pak, a prominent provider of comprehensive solutions for the food and beverage industry, is poised to highlight over 35 years of successful operations in India by participating significantly in the event. The company intends to exhibit its most recent advancements in food and processing solutions, underscoring its dedication to sustainability and environmental accountability.
A standout feature of Tetra Pak’s presentation will be the unveiling of Tetra Recart, a pioneering and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional cans and glass jars. Tetra Recart represents an efficient and forward-thinking packaging solution for a wide range of shelf-stable foods, such as purees, sauces, fruits, and ready-to-eat meals like Dal Makhani, Rajma, soups, and more. Notably, this innovative packaging solution achieves a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, with 81% less compared to steel cans and glass jars. Moreover, it results in a 40% reduction in energy consumption across the manufacturing, distribution, and waste management phases. Additionally, Tetra Recart is crafted from approximately 69% renewable paperboard material, responsibly sourced from managed forests and other controlled sources, and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council™.
In addition to Tetra Recart, Tetra Pak will feature its versatile range of packaging solutions, tailored to align with changing consumer preferences and ensuring the safe distribution of food throughout the nation, all without the requirement for preservatives or refrigeration. The company will also demonstrate its proficiency in processing an array of prepared foods, encompassing items such as hummus, cream cheese, ready-to-eat meals, tomato ketchup, and an enticing selection 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. We are thrilled to support India’s growth story through our solutions and eagerly anticipate exploring new opportunities at this global platform – World Food India.”
Tetra Pak’s unwavering commitment to sustainability will be prominently emphasized at World Food India. This will be accomplished through an interactive presentation that showcases the recycling methods for used Tetra Pak cartons, unveiling a variety of practical end-products designed to capture the attention of both consumers and organizations.
In a bid to encourage investments in the multifaceted food processing sector and commemorate 2023 as the International Year of Millets, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries is orchestrating the second installment of World Food India 2023. This global event will convene more than 1,000 buyers and 950 exhibitors representing 81 countries, fostering collaborations between prominent Indian and international enterprises for investment opportunities and trade within the food processing industry.
