Paboco - the paper bottle company, in collaboration with Blue Ocean Closures, has launched the world’s first market-ready paper bottle and fibre-based cap. The design is lightweight, weighing less than 16 grams, and includes a thin HDPE barrier weighing under 2 grams. The HDPE barrier ensures the bottle’s durability. The bottle is still fully recyclable within standard paper waste streams. This innovation is set to impact the packaging industry by offering a paper-based alternative to traditional plastic bottles, with its first market release expected by early 2025. #packaging #innovation #sustainblepackaging More info: https://lnkd.in/ecMWN32G

Sleever in partnership with CARBIOS, has introduced SEELCAP ONEGO, the world's first home-compostable tamper-evident seal for wine and spirits packaging. This solution combines sustainability and packaging security, addressing the needs of regions with limited glass recycling infrastructure. SEELCAP ONEGO uses CARBIOS’ enzyme technology to break down in home compost conditions within six months, potentially reducing the carbon footprint of tamper-evident packaging by up to 70%. Presented at LuxePack Monaco, the seal offers a sustainable option without requiring major production changes. #packaging #innovation #sustainablepackaging #sustainability Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eVkuEVvv
