Why Glass Bottle Packaging Is Becoming More Popular

A large part of the carbon footprint of wine comes from packaging. Can paper bottles reduce their impact? In terms of sustainability and improved

ecological practices, it is difficult to find an industry that does not focus on the future. Although the environmental impact of many sectors is more

obvious, there are many other areas where the environmental impact may not be so intuitive. The wine industry is one of them. Unlike many other agricultural

companies, the carbon footprint of wine does not come from the planting process, but from the packaging. Approximately 19 billion bottles of wine are sold to

the global market every year. Let us explore why this amazing number can lead to a trend toward more sustainable prospects, and how switching to paper

bottles can help reduce this impact.

Wine packaging has already seen a few examples of breaking with traditions, such as with recycled PET bottles. PET is short for recycled polyethylene

terephthalate and represents an alluring alternative to Glass Wine Bottles. These fully

recyclable plastic bottles save 500g of CO2 output across the production process because of its inventive shape and material.

Glass is another option when choosing water bottles. Most of us know that just about every beverage tastes better out of a glass bottle or cup, but the

downside is that they are breakable and less likely to last a long time compared to plastic or stainless steel. In addition, the recycling rate is low and

some public places do not allow glass too.
