Danish beer brand Carlsberg has designed what they claim is the first-ever beer bottle made from paper.
The paper beer bottle has not been put into production yet, but there are two working prototypes.
“We are working on developing the world’s first ‘paper’ beer bottle made from sustainably-sourced wood fibers that is both 100% bio-based and fully recyclable,” reads a statement on the Carlsberg website.
It’s expected to be a few years still before the product is ready for the consumer market.
“While we are not completely there yet, the two prototypes are an important step towards realizing our ultimate ambition of bringing this breakthrough to market,” Myriam Shingleton, Carlsberg’s Group Development vice president said.
“Innovation takes time and we will continue to collaborate with leading experts in order to overcome remaining technical challenges.”
