A run of 2000 bottles of the plant-based beverage AdeZ will be offered in the pioneering package via e-grocery retailer Kifli.hu. The bottle is made of a paper shell with 100% recycla- ble plastic lining and cap. The paper bottle project, which is being co-developed by Coca-Cola’s R&D team in Brussels and The Paper Bottle Company (Paboco), a Danish startup supported by ALPLA and BillerudKorsnäs, in cooperation with Carlsberg, L’Oréal, and The Absolut Company, is mov- ing into the consumer testing phase to measure the package’s performance and shopper re- sponse to the format. Coca-Cola and Paboco unveiled the first-generation prototype, which consists of a paper shell with a recyclable plastic lining and cap, a year ago. The technology developed by Paboco is designed to create 100% recyclable bottles made of sustainably sourced wood with a bio-based material barrier capable of resisting liquids, CO 2 , and oxygen, and is suitable for beverages, cosmetics, and other liquid goods. The ultimate goal is a bottle that can be recycled as paper. The innovation supports The Coca-Cola Company’s World Without Waste sustainable packaging target to collect and recycle a bottle or can for each one it sells by 2030, while sub- stantially reducing use of virgin packagingmaterials and using only 100% recyclable packag- ing materials. Achieving this vision requires investment in innovation and collaboration with partners to drive collection, recycling, and sustainable design. In addition to beverages, the packaging is suitable for holding other liquid goods such as beauty products. If successful, the next iteration of its prototype with Coca-Cola would consist solely of paper without the plastic liner.
