Danish brewer Carlsberg could soon be selling beer in paper bottles

 Good News Notes:

“Carlsberg unveiled its Green Fibre Bottle at the C40 Mayor’s Summit in Copenhagen late last week as part of the company’s initiative to end carbon emissions at its breweries and reduce its end-to-end carbon footprint by 2030.”

“Carlsberg is joining the Coca-Cola Company, The Absolut Company and L’Oréal in a a so-called paper bottle community. These companies are also working to develop bottles made out of paper fibers.”

“Carlsberg unveiled two prototypes which both have a thin polymer plastic-based barrier. One has a recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film barrier and the other one has a “bio-based” PEF (polyethylenefuranoate) polymer film barrier. The company said the barriers are still being tested but the goal is to create a 100% bio-based bottle without the polymers.”
