Pepsi Develops Recyclable Paper Bottle

Pepsi has partnered with Pulpex Limited to develop a prototype for a fully recyclable paper bottle. With Pulpex and a consortium of global consumer goods companies, PepsiCo is working to scale the fully recyclable paper bottle.
Ron Khan, PepsiCo V.P., Packaging for Beverages, said, “Versions of the paper bottle concept have been attempted in the past, but they’ve all required some form of an inner plastic liner that would prevent them from being recycled via mainstream methods. What makes the Pulpex version a game-changer is its base material: sustainable, renewable wood pulp. It’s topped off with a cap, which is also recyclable.”
