The Tetra Recart packaging solution allows food to be sterilised and preserved without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. With a capacity of 6,000 cartons per hour or 6-8 million cartons per year, the new line offers cost-effective production, reduces waste, and meets growing demand for safe, convenient, and environmentally friendly food products.

It aims to support the sale and export of local produce, create more jobs, and promote the agricultural value chain for farmers and cooperatives in Son La and neighbouring provinces.
