Tetra Pak unveils innovative solutions at Propak Vietnam 2025

As the food and beverage (F&B) industry continues to thrive, rising production costs and stringent sustainability standards are driving businesses to innovate and solidify their market position in an increasingly competitive landscape.

According to a report by The Business Research Company (January 2023), the global food and beverage market is projected to reach $9.23 trillion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.3 per cent. However, businesses in the sector face multiple challenges, including surging raw material costs, escalating logistics expenses, limited product preservation solutions, and mounting pressure to comply with stringent environmental regulations.

To support Vietnamese F&B businesses in overcoming these challenges, staying ahead of industry trends, and fostering sustainable growth, Tetra Pak will introduce its ecosystem of innovative solutions at ProPak Vietnam 2025. The event will take place from March 18-20 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in Ho Chi Minh City.

Under the theme “Unlocking the Future”, the event will present comprehensive solutions for the F&B industry, covering everything from product ideation and smart manufacturing to sustainable packaging and cost optimisation. Among the key highlights are the following three breakthrough solutions:

Innovative packaging solution for food – Tetra Recart

With over 70 years of global experience, Tetra Pak continues to push the boundaries of packaging innovation to ensure food safety, enhance quality, and drive sustainability. Currently, Tetra Pak’s paper-based cartons consist of 80 per cent paper and 90 per cent renewable materials, significantly reducing their environmental impact.

A standout in the packaging portfolio is Tetra Recart, a retortable paper-based packaging solution designed for canned food applications. This packaging can withstand heat up to 130°C during the sterilisation process. Compared to traditional metal and glass packaging, Tetra Recart reduces storage space by 30 per cent and lowers operational costs by 60 per cent, making it a game-changer for food manufacturers.
