Denmark and the Technical University of Denmark, to develop a biodegradable and bio-based bottle made from sustainably sourced wood fibre, to be known as the “Green Fiber Bottle.” All materials used in the bottle, including the cap, will be developed using bio-based and biodegradable materials – pri-marily, sustainably sourced wood-fibres – allowing the bottle to be responsibly degraded. Commenting on the announcement from Carlsberg HQ in Copenhagen, Andraea Dawson-Shepherd, senior vice-president for corporate affairs, said: “At Carlsberg we are firm believers in the importance of a circular economy in ensuring sustainable future growth and development on our planet, and today’s an-nouncement is excellent news. If the project comes to fruition, as we think it will, it will mark a sea-of-change in our options for packaging liquids, and will be another important step on our journey towards a circular, zero-waste economy.” This latest initiative forms part of the Carlsberg Circular Community (CCC) – a cooperation between Carlsberg and se-lected partners whose aim is to pursue a circular, zero-waste economy by using the Cradle to Cradle framework when devel-oping and marketing new products.
