Tetra Pak reply on Spring Water packaging

Dear Daniel

Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding packing water in Tetra Pak cartons.

Certainly cartons have a number of environmental benefits over other packaging types and we are happy that you recognise this fact.

Spring water is packed in Tetra Pak cartons in other countries such as UK, France and other markets. We have discussed the possibility of using cartons with a number of Irish manufacturers. However, there are a number of factors that have affected any progress to date such as capital expenditure, consumer research, and marketing scale.

Your interest and support is very much appreciated and we will continue our efforts to bring spring water in cartons to the market.
