Where possible, industries are switching to paper packaging solutions to reduce plastic waste and Frugalpac is introducing the Frugal Bottle as an innovative, standard-sized wine bottle made mostly out of recycled paper. The Frugal Bottle is made from 94% recycled paperboard and it is five times lighter than glass, offering relief from heavy shipping and transportation costs. This means that the bottle is easy to recycle and has a carbon footprint up to six times lower than glass.
Naturally, the 750-milliliter bottle does contain a food-grade liner so that liquid can be stored within the packaging solution. According to Frugalpac, the Frugal Bottle is not just comparable in cost to a labeled glass bottle but also beneficial for the fact that it can “be refrigerated and keeps the liquid cooler for longer.”
