Sustainable bottles and packaging materials for beverages

From an ecological standpoint, it is decisive that a beverage is protected as well as possible. For where products other than mineral water are concerned, the production of a beverage has a far greater influence on the ecological assessment of the respective product than the manufacturing and disposal of the packaging. Nevertheless, the demand for sustainable packaging solutions is also very important to consumers. In the past decade PET bottles have achieved a high market share and are therefore particularly at the focus of consumers. In this context, the question arises: How can the recyclability of the PET bottle be increased? Or will we possibly drink from paper bottles in the future?
