Tetra Pak, Lausanne, Switzerland, reports that it will begin supplying carton packages in Switzerland with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label. Starting with a range of packages for Coop stores later this month, Tetra Pak plans to offer around 340 million FSC-labeled packages to Swiss customers next year, representing around 60% of its annual sales in this market.

Currently, only 5% of the global forest stocks are FSC certified, and Tetra Pak says that it is working with its partners to support an increase in supply. The world's first FSC-labeled liquid food cartons were introduced in the U.K. in 2007. Since then, Tetra Pak has introduced more than 2.3 billion through 2009.
