Paper wine bottle

17-11-2011

The UK will soon see the launch of the world’s first paper wine bottle. Greenbottle, the company behind the product, is already negotiating with a leading supermarket chain and insists it will be on the market in the beginning of 2012. The UK is about to run out of space for landfill within seven years, hence this biodegradable packaging will become a huge issue for both consumers and manufacturers. The paper bottle weighs only 55g compared with 500g for a glass bottle, meaning that transport costs will be hugely reduced. In addition, its carbon footprint is only 10% of that of a glass bottle.
