Plastic wine bottles trialled to boost recycling.
The Hertfordshire-headquartered Wine Society (UK) launched a trial of the polyethylene terephthalate bottles.
Created by innovative packaging produce Packamama, the containers weigh 63g compared to an average of 460g for glass equivalents.
They are made from recycled material, can be fully recycled themselves and are shaped to better stack in a box to further reduce transport costs and carbon emissions.
While the Society believes taste isn’t impaired by the plastic bottles, it is urging drinkers to consume the wine within six months.The recycled plastic bottle is a really good option. It has a lower-carbon footprint than glass and can be recycled at home.
