The Bag-in-Box division made good progress in 2009 in further developing sustainable packaging solutions for wine, edible oil, juices, detergents and dairy products which are currently packaged in glass and/or plastic bottles. These solutions are more environmentally friendly because of improvements in storage and transport and much lower recycling costs after use. In the area of bottling of water and fruit juices in particular, these sustainable packaging solutions have a very high potential.

With plastic 3 litre bags and newly developed outer corrugated containers, there is reduced product volume and weight of 25% and consequently less transport is needed to ship these bags. Another good example of a sustainable action is the shipping of VITOP taps by train instead of by lorry, which saves a substantial amount of carbon emission.
