The biodegradable wood-fibre bottle for Carlsberg beverages, a project born from the collaboration with the packaging company ecoXpac, the Innovation Fund Denmark and the Technical University of Denmark, to develop a biodegradable bottle of organic origin made ofwood fibres from sustainable sources that will be called the “Green Fiber Bottle”, has been presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos. All the materials used in the bottle, including the cap, will be made using biodegradable materials.
“In Carlsberg we firmly believe in the importance of the circular economy to ensure a sustainable future of growth and development of the Planet. If today’s project will become reality, as we believe, it will make a huge difference with regard to the options we have for packing liquids and will be another important step in our journey towards a circular and waste-free economy” said Andraea Dawson-Shepherd, Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs of Carlsberg.
The initiative is part of the Carlsberg Circular Community (CCC), a cooperation between Carlsberg and a number of partners (which by 2016 should become 15) with the aim of achieving a circular and waste-free economy using the Cradle to Cradle approach for the development and marketing of new products, which has the objective of creating products that can be recycled indefinitely or can return to nature being completely biodegradable, without creating waste therefore.
