The global spread of aseptic packaging technology in 1960, exemplified by Tetra Pak, revolutionized the way liquids were packaged and stored. This innovation allowed for sterile packaging without refrigeration, significantly extending the shelf life of products like milk and juice. The adoption of aseptic packaging transformed the food and beverage industry, improving distribution and reducing food waste.
