Brewer Carlsberg wants to produce a 'paper bottle' for its beer

In the years ahead, the way drinks are packaged could dramatically change.

Carlsberg is one of many major international firms looking to change the way it packages products.

In an announcement made during the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen on Friday, the Danish brewing giant said the "Green Fibre Bottle" prototypes were produced from sustainably sourced wood fibres and "fully recyclable." An "inner barrier" is used to ensure the bottles can carry beer. One prototype uses a recycled polyethylene terephthalate polymer film barrier, which acts as a thin internal lining. The other uses what Carlsberg described as a "100% bio-based" polyethylene furanoate polymer film barrier.

In a statement Friday, Myriam Shingleton, the Carlsberg Group's vice president, group development, said the firm was "pleased with the progress we've made on the Green Fibre Bottle so far."
