Tetra Pak launches carton collection scheme in Vietnam

Tetra Pak has launched Cartons for Communities in Vietnam, a programme linking government agencies, food and beverage companies, collectors, recyclers and consumers to widen collection and recycling of used beverage cartons as the country steps up extended producer responsibility. Tetra Pak has set up collection and exchange points with TH true Milk in more than 40 TH true Mart stores and is running a model with Vinamilk backed by the Vietnam Environment Protection Fund.
