India, April 15 -- Tetra Pak Arabia received two prestigious awards at the fifth edition of the PRIME Summit Awards 2025, on 10 April 2025, at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai. The company was honored with a Gold award for Sustainable Packaging Company of the Year and a Silver award for Packaging Recycler of the Year.
The former award recognizes Tetra Pak Arabia's innovative thinking in its alternative paper-based barrier packaging solutions, effectively increasing the total renewable content of a carton to 90% while reducing its carbon footprint by 33%.
Tetra Pak's receipt of its second award as Packaging Recycler of the Year spotlights the launch of the first-of-its-kind carton packages recycling line in partnership with Union Paper Mills (UPM) back in November of 2024. This union spotlights an AED 2.5 million investment that has brought about the possibility to recycle up to 10,000 tons of carton packages, each year.
These landmark initiatives send a clear signal of the UAE's recycling capabilities while fostering sustainability and circularity in the region, adding to Tetra Pak's awards shelf from the PRIME Summit Awards.
