Packaging equipment and
material giant Tetra Pak India Ltd has entered a partnership with India-based
Deluxe Recycling India Pte Ltd, to manufacture `Ecolink,' India's first
recycled chipboard. The chipboard uses factory waste supplied by Tetra Pak as
well as chips made from the empty cartons used by food companies to pack
liquids. Tetra Pak India's managing director Lars Nygren said the company's
parent, Tetra Pak, has developed the technology to make such board.
Deluxe Recycling is setting
up a facility that could produce 1,500 metric tons of the chipboard a year.
According to Tetra Pak India
close to 60 percent of the raw material will come from Tetra Pak as factory
waste with the rest coming from the open market.
