Bag-in-box’s positive environmental profile was another factor in its selection by Becker’s Bester. The format generates up to five times less waste than rigid containers: empty packs collapse fully to reduce space during disposal and the cardboard outer is fully recyclable. Bag-in-box is also up to 80% lighter than alternative pack formats, which can equate to a saving of 20% of energy costs during transport.

"The Rapak bag-in-box is the ideal convenience pack, delivering fresh juice to customers when they want it," comments Ulrich Günther, director of Becker’s Bester. "We needed a pack that would meet demands for larger sizes but it was imperative that the quality of our product was not compromised in any way. The Rapak solution perfectly meets both these requirements."
