SIG TERRA
PORTFOLIO WITH
DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH IN 2024
SIG ANNOUNCE THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF ITS SIG TERRA
PORTFOLIO, WITH A 15% INCREASE IN SALES FOR SIG TERRA
PACKAGING MATERIALS FOR ASEPTIC CARTONS IN 2024.

The growth is well above the strong
6% overall revenue growth of the
company’s carton packaging and
demonstrating the unbroken increase
in market demand for sustainable
packaging solutions. SIG Terra is SIG’s
marker for sustainable packaging
innovations, which the company
constantly evolves for better.

In 2024 alone, approximately
1.7bn litres of food were packed in
packs made with SIG Terra packaging
materials. Since its introduction, SIG
has now sold enough packs with SIG
Terra solutions to fill around 6bn
litres of food, marking a milestone
in SIG’s mission to drive sustainable
26 innovation. Market expansion in Europe
and a successful sales ramp-up of
the SIG Terra Alu-free + Full barrier
packaging material in China further
highlight the growing preference
for SIG’s even more sustainable
offerings. SIG Terra solutions in
aseptic cartons accounted for 9.3%
of the food packed in SIG aseptic
cartons in Europe where uptake has
remained strong and 4.1% worldwide.

Sustainable Innovation as
Strategic Pillar
SIG is dedicated to creating a
regenerative future. The company
continuously strives to actively
protect and restore ecosystems, mitigate
climate change, improve access to
nutrition, cut food waste and accelerate
innovation on circularity. To achieve
this, SIG focuses on areas where it has
the largest impact and opportunities.

SIG’s packs are among the most
sustainable packaging solutions in
each relevant market segment – and
the company is innovating to reduce its
environmental impact even further.

By developing innovative, even
more sustainable packaging materials,
SIG offers industry-leading solutions
for customers with significantly
reduced lifecycle carbon footprint
and environmental impacts. The SIG
Terra portfolio represents SIG’s most
sustainable packaging innovations,
including aseptic carton packaging
materials without aluminium layer, with
polymers linked to forest-based and
recycled materials through certified
mass balance systems as well as
recycle-ready bag-in-box and spouted
pouch solutions.

With a strong focus on reducing
fossil material use and carbon
emissions, SIG has set multiple industry
benchmarks, including the launch of
the world’s first aluminium-free aseptic
carton in 2010, with a full-barrier
version for wider use with oxygen-
sensitive products such as fruit juices,
