Biodegradeable Beer Bottle`

Carlsberg is aiming to produce what it claims will be the world's first fully biodegradable beer bottle. The brewer has started a three year project with packaging firm ecoXpac in a bid to develop the product. The "Green Fiber Bottle" will be made from "sustainably sourced" wood-fiber. All materials used, including the cap, will be developed using bio-based and biodegradable materials - primarily sustainably sourced wood fibres, allowing the bottle to be responsibly degraded, Carlsberg said.
