July 19, 2021
Pulpex is the world’s first widely recyclable, brandable paper bottle; the eco-friendly paper bottle is designed to hold a wide range of liquids.
WILMINGTON, Del. (USA) – Solenis, a leading global producer of specialty chemicals, is joining forces with Pulpex Limited and its global consortium partners to collaborate on the ongoing evolution of the Pulpex eco-friendly paper bottle.
Pulpex is a new world-leading sustainable packaging technology company established by venture management firm Pilot Lite and spirits producer Diageo. The company has developed the world’s first widely recyclable PET-free paper bottle made from sustainably sourced pulp.

Last year, the Absolut Company announced a trial of 2,000 paper-based bottle prototypes across Sweden and the UK, to test the viability of paper as an alternative to single-use plastics in beverage applications.
The first prototypes were made up of 100% recycled content, with 57% paper and 43% recycled plastic, with the latter used to create a barrier layer for the bottle.
Dive Brief:
Pulpex, a packaging technology company co-founded by Diageo, has partnered with Finnish renewable materials company Stora Enso to mass produce 100% recyclable bottles and containers made from sustainably sourced, formed wood fiber pulp. The companies plan to have a high-speed production line operational in 2022.
Pulpex will use Stora Enso s formed fiber material to create paper bottles for global brands in applications including alcohol and nonalcohol beverages and liquid foods, along with home and personal care products. The Pulpex bottle can be embossed, labeled and colored, according to the companies.
Diageo and PepsiCo have committed to using Pulpex technology in their packaging as founding partners of a consortium of CPG companies who together plan to produce 750 million paper bottles per year. This latest partnership would help advance that effort, and could assist both beverage companies in meeting their broader sustainable packaging goals.
