Tetra Pak led different initiatives on the social side, one of which was the "The National Campaign for Milk and Dairy Products safety", that has been launched in 2009 under the auspices of the ministry of Health and in cooperation with key dairy producers. The campaign was meant to deep root the health benefits of the packed milk and dairy products compared to the hazards of the loose milk.
Other initiatives include recycling initiatives in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment. A recent study issued by the Ministry proved that each recycled ton of remnants provide six job opportunities, reduced unemployment rate and enhances the Egyptian economy.
