Searching for innovation in all packaging formats, Carlsberg is developing that which could become the first “paper” beer bottle, produced from wood fibres of sustainable origin, 100% biologic and recyclable.
Currently, there are two investigation prototypes of the beer bottle in green fibre, the first “paper bottles” capable of containing beer. Both prototypes have an interior barrier (a thin plastic layer) to allow the bottles to hold beer. One of the prototypes uses recycled PET and the other contains a PEF with a 100% biological base. However, the goal is to reach an entirely plastic free solution.
