Aurivo launch 1.75L Renewable Bio-Based Carton for its Connacht Gold Milk Brand as part of sustainability strategy

Oct, 2019

Aurivo the globally-focused agribusiness headquartered in the North West of Ireland, has announced the introduction of its new 1.75L renewable bio-based carton for its Connacht Gold milk brand. The move expands its packaging range and offer a more sustainable source of raw material to its liquid milk customers.

Aurivo’s focus as a diverse Co-Operative continues to be on growing a sustainable business as part of its Engage 2022 growth plan.

Aaron Forde, CEO of Aurivo said: “The bedrock of Aurivo’s value generation is grounded on a philosophy of operational excellence and continuous improvement that takes precedence in all operations and business functions throughout the Co-Op. The introduction of the Tetra Pak Bio-Based carton allows us to offer our consumers a carton that has a low environmental and climate change impact and can be traced back to its plant based source.”

Innovated by Tetra Pak, the Tetra Rex Bio-Based Milk Carton is the first fully renewable carton to arrive on the market, manufactured solely from a combination of plastics derived from sugarcane and paperboard – plant based resources which are a more sustainable source of raw material.

Available in whole and light milk, the Connacht Gold 1.75L cartons are made up of 75% paper, a renewable material, with the cap, neck and coating of the carton made from plant based raw materials using renewable sugar cane.

As part of its Engage 2022 strategy, Aurivo has implemented a number of sustainability measures across the business including its most recent €6m investment in its consumer foods business in Killygordon Co. Donegal. This investment allows the Killygordon milk plant to significantly reduce on-site fossil fuel consumption by some 80%.

As a member of Origin Green, Aurivo and its farmers work together to reach sustainability targets and boost where possible the environmental profile of its products. For more information about Aurivo’s Sustainability click here.
