Tetra Pak to develop paper straws for its portion-size carton packages

Tetra Pak is to launch a paper straw as part of a programme to address the issue of plastic straw waste.  Suitable for its portion-sized carton packages, the paper straws will be launched before the end of this year.

Charles Brand, Tetra Pak executive vice president, product management & commercial operations, said: “It sounds simple enough, but in reality, there are a number of significant challenges to producing a paper straw with the required properties.
