Tetra Pak launches homogenizer range incorporating Circle Green stainless steel with lower carbon footprint

Tetra Pak today announces the expansion of its homogenizer portfolio, offering machines with Outokumpu Circle Green®1 stainless steel, a material that boasts a carbon footprint up to 93% lower when compared to the global industry average for stainless steel2. This innovative material will be available as an option for all models in Tetra Pak’s homogenizer line in Europe from June, before rolling out globally later in the year.

With approximately 7% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions stemming from the global steel industry3, innovating with new forms of stainless steel plays an important role in reducing overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the food and beverage (F&B) industry, everything from dairy beverages to table sauces relies on homogenisation as part of its production process.
