Carlsberg just hit another major milestone in its sustainable packaging journey. The Denmark-based brewery unveiled the Green Fibre Bottle, the world’s first paper bottle for beer.

The two new research prototypes of the Green Fibre Bottle are made from sustainably sourced wood fibers and sustainable polymer-based barriers to prevent the beer from seeping out. One prototype uses a thin recycled PET film barrier. The other is lined with a bio-based PEF film barrier. Carlsberg is using these prototypes in tests as it seeks to develop a beer container that is 100 percent bio-based without polymers.
