What other requirements does the Svanen ecolabel place on packaging for liquid food product?

We impose several stringent requirements on the packaging, for example on the chemicals and additives used in the packaging and certification of renewable raw materials. There must be clear routines for quality and sustainability work and the manufacturer must continuously carry out extensive risk assessments of the product's health and environmental impact. One aim is to reduce the risk for migration of dangerous substances to the food.

Furthermore, - The packaging is manufactured with a lower energy consumption in the production of cardboard materials and plastics - Suppliers must actively work on the recycling design - Raw materials in all packaging must be traceable - All materials harvested from forests for cardboard must be FSC-marked
