Danish brewer Carlsberg has unveiled prototypes of the world’s first beer bottles made from recyclable and bio-based materials, with the company’s sustainability director claiming that the innovation could have “endless impact” if upscaled collaboratively by corporates including Coca-Cola and L’Oreal.

The two prototypes consist of sustainably sourced wood fibre with an inner barrier that enables to bottles to contain beer. One version prototype uses a thin recycled PET polymer film barrier, and the other a 100% bio-based PEF polymer film barrier.
