Having just become the majority shareholder of Paboco (otherwise known as The Paper Bottle Company), ALPLA sets out plans to produce a fully recyclable paper bottle made from FCS-certified fibers from a new state-of-the-art manufacturing site in Denmark in 2024.
Coca-Cola launches paper bottle trial in Hungary Coca-Cola plant-based drink, AdeZ, will roll out 2,000 bottles of its paper prototype: marking the first market test for the innovation.
The paper bottle prototype design was unveiled last year; and will move into a market trial with the dairy-free smoothie brand this summer to see how the packaging performs and how consumers react.
The technology aims to create 100% recyclable bottles made of sustainably-sourced wood with a bio-based material barrier suitable for liquid goods, such as carbonated and still drinks.
The
current prototype consists of a paper shell with an rPET recyclable lining and cap. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a bottle without the plastic liner that can be recycled in the same way as paper.
