Cardboard seems to be the material of the hour and these cardboard wine bottles are the latest in a long list of products using the versatile material. Paperboy Wines is getting rid of the classic glass that most wine bottles are made of, in favor of the more eco-friendly option, cardboard.
The big pro when it comes to cardboard is that it's recyclable. Paperboy Wines knows this and with a recycle rate of 91%, the world seems to know as well. The eco-friendly pros don't only end at the recyclable aspect though. The fact that the material is lightweight is also a big factor, given the fact that with cardboard the US alone would save $50,793,750 in diesel.
Outside of the functional upside to the material, there's also the fact that the retro design also looks magnificent.
