Did you know that Coca Cola uses 3 million tons of plastic every year to make bottles, most of which are never recycled.
Coca-Cola is working on a solution to this problem, and they think paper is a good alternative. It is made from sheet paper to help make it strong enough to withstand the pressure of the bottling process, with the label printed directly on the bottle itself. Even the lid is made of paper. Coca-Cola will test the paper bottles in one of its more than 500 brands over the next few years, said David Stein, Coca-Cola’s r&d packaging innovation manager.
But it seems impossible to completely replace glass and plastic bottles, which are still in the lab due to production and stability constraints. But it’s conceivable that in the next decade or two, these paper bottles will also be on the shelves Or choose a glass bottle with corks.
Are you ready for these paper bottles?
