First paper-based food packaging line in Vietnam put into operation

The first paper-based food packaging line in Vietnam applying Tetra Recart® technology was officially inaugurated in northern Son La province on July 2 by Dong Giao Foodstuff Export JSC (Doveco) of Vietnam, and Tetra Pak Group of Sweden.

The line will begin full operation this month at Doveco factory in Son La province.

The Tetra Recart® packaging solution allows food to be sterilized and preserved without refrigeration or preservatives. With a capacity of 6,000 cartons per hour, the new line offers cost-effective production, reduces waste, and meets growing demand for safe, convenient, and environmentally friendly food products.

Agricultural products such as sweet corn, pineapple juice, and various beans will be packaged in recyclable and lightweight cartons, aligning with the global consumer trend. These products will be available in retail outlets nationwide from July 2.

This milestone marks a significant advancement in the country's food and beverage industry which is expected to reach $96.68 billion in 2025.
