As outlined above, Tetra had submitted a patent application for a new barrier technology related to Tetra Fast which, mentioning juice explicitly, underlined the gas barrier enhancing properties of the new technology and stressed its aseptic qualities, the latter being of high importance for commercially successful packaging of both juice and LDPs. Tetra itself outlines that improvements in gas barrier technologies are of high relevance for future packaging of juice and that aseptic filling is of high potential relevance for packaging juice and LDP. Consequently, it should have discussed Tetra Fast in its reply to Question 4 which asked for technologies which would be needed to enable PET to be used successfully for the packaging of LDPs and juice and requested Tetra to discuss its own activities.
