Carlsberg makes paper beer bottle

Danish beer company Carlsberg has unveiled the first paper beer bottle in the world. The bottle is made of sustainable and recyclable wood fibres. The bottle forms part of Carlsberg’s Together Towards Zero initiative, which includes a commitment to reach zero carbon emission and a 30-percent reduction in its full-value-chain carbon footprint by 2030. Carslberg has revealed two prototypes for its green fibre bottle: both have an ‘inner barrier’ allowing the bottle to hold beer. One uses a thin recycled PET polymer film barrier, while the other has a bio-based PEF polymer film barrier.
