Talk:Tetra Pak
Founding date
The article mentions two different founding dates: 1943 and 1951. 1951 is the correct year according to the tetra pak website. 213.142.27.122 08:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
> "For most people, Tetra Pak is synonymous with carton packages for milk, juice and beverages".
This is marketing, pure and simple. It is not factual. The very same sentence is on the company's web site. In fact, most of the article seems like investor information.
It is marketing - but it is close to the truth. Does anybody else apart from Tetra Pak make those sort of cartons ? I am sure people do say tetra pak to refer to any sort carton that is difficult to open.

Yes, other companies like combi block and international paper make cartons similar to Tetra Pak.
-- It still reads exactly like a marketing brochure to me - I feel it deserves the advert tag; if you agree put it back.
- It may be true but they are facts. It is the world leader in the industry. They have advanced technology. You can add a reasonable and sourced criticism section if you'd like to. -- Szvest 17:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC) User:FayssalF/Sign
- And, true or not, Wikipedia DEMANDS citations. Factuality is not on its own suitable for inclusion.Alvis 06:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Hans Rausing
This page says he ran the company from 1954 to 1985, but his page says he was MD for 37 years to 1996 (from 1959 ?).

A company in China, Tralin Pak, also make such materials. www.tralinpak.com I guess there is not much thing that China don't know produce nowadays.
Recycling
Anyone have any information on recycling Tetra Pak's? I have done a small amount of research and it appears to be possible however despite the large amount of tetra pak products there is only the one recycling plant in Scotland that most local authorities are unwilling to transport to for reuse.

- Status of Tetra Pak Recycling Activities (dead link) Archived copy Note: This is not about the Tetra Pak (the paper+plastic+aluminum product), but about a super-thin film of glass deposited on the inside of a plastic bottle to make it act much like a glass bottle (capable of storing beer and juice) and recycle like a plastic bottle.

Should this graphic be included on a page in the english Wikipedia? Alvis 06:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Competition
Seems weird how there wasn't any mention of Combibloc or Elopak technologies. Added them in Competition section. EpiVictor 15:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Mentioned the "Parmalat scandal" as well. - FayssalF - Wiki me up® 23:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I have moved the Parmalat piece to 'The Business' section as it didn't seem quite at home in the Competition section. I have also changed Aluminum back to Aluminium to link in with its Wiki page spelling. I have also added a company infobox.53.122.196.39 13:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
