The triumph of fibers continues: the paper bottle.<\/h1>\n\n

The \u201cPaper Bottle\u201d beverage bottle from the Danish manufacturer Paboco (now majority-owned by the ALPLA Group<\/a>) is made from sustainably sourced wood fibers. A thin inner barrier protects the material from liquids, water vapor, and oxygen. While PET or PE liners were still used in the early stages of development, the transition to production-ready, extremely lightweight solutions marked the breakthrough: In combination with fiber-based closures (such as those from Blue Ocean Closures<\/a><\/em>), the entire package now weighs less than 16 grams. Thanks to the minimal plastic content (less than 2 grams), the bottles can be easily recycled through the regular paper recycling stream. <\/p>\n\n

The Carlsberg Group has been <\/a>steadily advancing its series of tests on the Fibre Bottle<\/em>. Initial market tests in eight European countries showed that the wood fiber structure not only offers a completely new tactile experience but, when combined with innovative plant-based polymers (such as PEF), preserves the beer\u2019s freshness and carbonation just as effectively as conventional PET. So far, Carlsberg has primarily used the bottles for pilot tests and events. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
