Tetra Pak to turn cartons into decks
Lowe to
replace
Garrard
at Orora
ORORA CEO and managing director Nigel Garrard will retire as of 30 September, with Brian Lowe to replace him in both jobs.
Garrard has led Orora for more than 10 years, while Lowe joined the company in 2011 to head up the Beverage Business group before becoming group general manager of Orora Fibre Packaging. According to Garrard, the time has come for new leadership at the packaging giant.
“I have been fortunate to lead the business over an exciting time with the creation of the Orora brand and culture when Orora listed on the ASX. Orora today has a world-class team of people, an expanding global footprint, and a strong balance sheet to support further growth,” he said.
The board tipped Lowe as Garrard’s replacement upon his retirement, a decision which the incoming MD and CEO describes as an honour.
“Orora is a strong business with a track record of executing against strategy, meet- ing its financial objectives and delivering value for its stakeholders. I look forward to working with the
TETRA PAK has partnered with a New Zea- land company to recycle used beverage cartons into building material by the end of the year.
The packaging giant will team up with New Zealand Plastic Products to turn bev- erage cartons into premium wood plastic composite (WPC), which can be used to replace timber in the building industry, especially for wide-profile decking.
“Until today, Tetra Pak cartons had to be sent overseas to be recycled, but later in 2019, we’ll be able to recycle them here in New Zealand,” said Andrew Pooch, managing director of Tetra Pak Oceania. “We’ll recycle them into this wood plastic compos- ite, which primarily can be used to
replace rainforest timber for decking, but also will have other uses in the building industry.”
The partnership will not only limit the number of cartons going to landfill and reduce overseas recycling dependency, but create a stable domestic end market for used cartons, Tetra Pak says.
Commenting on progress being made on this front in Australia, Pooch says: “Just as we did in New Zealand, we are currently working on a long-term local recycling solution for used beverage cartons in Australia to help reduce dependency on waste export channels. It is important that this solution caters to the unique needs of the market and we find the right partner.” ■
Board and the Orora team to build on that record of success,” said Lowe. ■
Stepping up:
