Important to offer multiple shapes and sizes

Since 2019, the Danish joint venture The Paper Bottle Company – PABOCO – has been working on developing a recyclable bottle made from FSC-certified fibres. The bottle is expected to be an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic and glass packaging, as we know from the largest and most common consumer goods. The paper bottle is now being tested in several markets, and PABOCO is ready to scale up production.

Shaping the paper pulp material is one of PABOCO's innovative core technologies. In this process, PABOCO uses a creative solution provided by Betech.

Global brands are testing the new packaging

Paboco has come a long way since its inception, and Betech's expertise in elastomers has in recent years contributed to the possibility of series production, both in terms of standard types and individual designs, which constitute distinctive, high-value visual characteristics for brand manufacturers.

Global brands such as The Absolut Company, Carlsberg, L’Oréal, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble have launched product and consumer tests of the paper bottle around the world. Mass production of the next generation of paper bottles is planned, and the goal is to deliver more than 20 million paper bottles by the end of 2025.

Fast, effective design iterations

The collaboration between The Paper Bottle Company and Betech has been centred on the development of a key feature in the production of paper bottles. Fast and cost-effective design iterations yielded major progress on the road to scaling up production.
