This summer, a raft of drinks in plant-based bottles are hitting the market, boasting a tiny carbon footprint
Here are a trio of drinks business world-firsts worth raising a glass to: beer, wine and tequila in bottles made of plant-based materials.
Carlsberg has developed a new wood- and plant-based fibre bottle that the company says protects the taste and fizziness of the lager just as well as glass, and also insulates the drink, keeping it cooler for longer. The bio-based fibre bottle is fully recyclable and has a plant-based polymer lining. It is currently being trialled in its largest pilot by Carlsberg to date – 8,000 bottles containing beer brewed with regeneratively grown barley – in countries across the UK and Europe.
