In collaboration with Blue Ocean Closures, Paboco is launching the world's first market-ready paper bottle with a fibre-based closure. The sustainable packaging solution is expected to be available to consumers in early 2025 and is fully recyclable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paboco<\/a> has worked with Blue Ocean Closures to develop the first market-ready paper bottle with a fibre-based closure, which is expected to be launched in early 2025. The total weight of the bottle including the closure is less than 16 grams, allowing the company to realise its approach of a lightweight, material-efficient packaging solution<\/strong> is being pursued. Michael Michelsen, Commercial Director of Paboco, emphasises that this innovation represents a significant step forward for the packaging industry, as it is offered not just as a concept, but as a real, recyclable packaging solution.<\/p>\n

The bottle is Fully recyclable and consists of a thin HDPE barrier<\/strong>, which weighs less than 2 grams. According to Paboco, this combination should pave the way for further sustainable packaging solutions and drive the switch to bio-based materials. Ola T\u00f6nnberg, CCO of Blue Ocean Closures, sees the fibre-based closure as a new standard that can be applied to bottles made of different materials.<\/p>

The partnership between Paboco and Blue Ocean Closures is part of the \u201ePioneer Community\u201c, a group of companies that supports the development and introduction of sustainable packaging solutions. The Absolut Group is one of the first partners to utilise this packaging solution. Elin Furelid, Director Future of Packaging at Absolut, describes the development as an important milestone for sustainable packaging.<\/p>\n

The paper bottle with the fibre-based closure is placed on the CPHI<\/a> in Milan and the Scanpack<\/a> in Gothenburg and can be pre-ordered by partners.<\/p>
