mySmoothie owes its entire success to fruits and berries. It simply wouldn’t be possible to make mySmoothie if it wasn’t for Mother Nature. That’s why environmental concern has influenced every step of production and packaging.

mySmoothie’s production process reflects the company’s concern for the environment. For instance:

• The company’s grade A Swedish factory uses one of the best energy saving production processes around. The high heat recovery is used for the factory and offices and results in no external heating.
• 1 truck can transport enough packaging material for 1 million cartons, whilst 58 trucks would be needed to transport the same number of glass bottles.
• 1 pallet can hold more cartons than the equivalent in plastic bottles. mySmoothie only uses recycled wooden pallets. 
• Whenever possible, mySmoothie prefers to purchase untreated whole fruit locally, like wild Swedish blueberries.
• mySmoothie uses a combination of juices, pulps and small amounts of concentrates. Not just for the taste and nutritional values, as proven scientifically, but also for the environment in terms of less shipping volume (15-18% less).
• Both concentrates and non-concentrates go through the same heat process after harvest. Independent scientists have helped shape this process in detail. mySmoothie would never compromise on nutritional values, taste or the environment.
• Every business flight is compensated with carbon neutral points.

mySmoothie’s carton packaging is great for the environment because:

• Cartons are the only liquid food packaging type made predominantly from a renewable source (in our case: trees).
• The carton raw material comes from sustainable forests, where two new trees are planted for every one harvested.
• The cartons are made from parts of the tree that would normally otherwise go to waste. 
• One tree can supply a household with a 1 litre carton every day for 30 years.
• They are 100 % recyclable (up to 5-7 times)
• Our aseptic cartons require no refrigeration and thus save energy.
• The minute amount of aluminium used is infinitely recyclable, both in the paper recycling plants and Tetra Pak’s own recycling plant.
• After consumption, the cartons can be squashed flat to 6% of the original volume. Therefore far more quantities can be transported for re-cycling compared to glass or PET bottles. (38% more to be exact)
