Carlsberg Trials Fully Recyclable Bio-Bottle

June 22, 2022: 12:00 AM EST
Danish brewer Carlsberg Group announced a trial of its Fibre Bottle, a bio-based, fully recyclable bottle, in eight European markets: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, UK, Poland, Germany and France. Customers will be able to hold the bottles at certain festivals and events, and in targeted product sampling. The plant-based bottle has a PEF polymer lining developed by Avantium, The PEF is made from natural raw materials, can be put into plastic recycling systems, and can degrade naturally. The outer shell is made from sustainably-sourced wood fiber and also improves insulation, keeping the beer cold for longer versus cans or glass. Apart from the cap, the bottle is 100 percent bio-based. It’s also fully recyclable. Carlsberg aims to develop a version of the Fibre Bottle that generates up to 80 percent less emissions than single-use glass bottles and matches the carbon footprint of a refillable glass bottle.
