Demand for sustainable packaging drives 15% increase in sales for SIG
SIG is reporting ongoing success for its SIG Terra portfolio after a 15% rise in sales of 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, says SIG, demonstrates an unbroken increase in market demand for sustainable packaging.
In 2024 alone, approximately 1.7 billion litres of food were packed in packs made with SIG Terra packaging materials.
Since its introduction, SIG notes it has now sold enough packs with SIG Terra solutions to fill around 6 billion litres of food, marking a milestone in SIG’s mission to drive sustainable 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.

SIG’s packs are among the most sustainable packaging solutions in each relevant market segment.
The SIG Terra portfolio represents SIG’s most sustainable packaging innovations, including aseptic carton packaging materials without aluminum 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.
As demand for sustainable packaging grows, SIG’s advanced solutions allow food and beverage manufacturers to align with consumer preferences and achieve their sustainability targets.
SIG Terra packaging materials without aluminum layer are designed to be compatible with existing SIG filling lines.
SIG continues to refine its portfolio, ensuring that its solutions not only meet but exceed industry sustainability standards.
Christoph Wegener, chief markets officer at SIG, underscores this dedication: “The success of our SIG Terra portfolio shows that the demand for even more sustainable packaging solutions is accelerating. At SIG, we are driven by a vision of a regenerative future, and we are proud to support our customers in making meaningful progress in their sustainability targets.”
