A large part of the carbon footprint of wine comes from packaging. Can paper bottles reduce their impact? In terms of sustainability and improved ecological practices, it is difficult to find an industry that does not focus on the future. Although the environmental impact of many sectors is more obvious, there are many other areas where the environmental impact may not be so intuitive. The wine industry is one of them. Unlike many other agricultural companies, the carbon footprint of wine does not come from the planting process, but from the packaging. Approximately 19 billion bottles of wine are sold to the global market every year. Let us explore why this amazing number can lead to a trend toward more sustainable prospects, and how switching to paper bottles can help reduce this impact.

Wine packaging has already seen a few examples of breaking with traditions, such as with recycled PET bottles. PET is short for recycled polyethylene terephthalate and represents an alluring alternative to Glass Wine Bottles. These fully recyclable plastic bottles save 500g of CO2 output across the production process because of its inventive shape and material.
