Eco-friendly PET wine bottle: Alpla offers a revolution – Economy –

Alpla's PET wine bottle is an innovative packaging solution that, according to the Austrian company, offers several advantages over traditional bottles. It weighs only 50 grams, which is only one-eighth of the bottle's weight. This significantly reduces carbon dioxide consumption during transportation, which helps improve the climate balance. According to ORF reports, PET bottles are made from 100 percent recycled PET (rPET), which increases sustainability.

Another advantage of the PET wine bottle is its compatibility with existing closure systems and filling lines. This enables seamless integration into existing production processes. At the Wegenstein winery, PET bottles are filled in the same way as bottles.

Managing Director Herbert Teufel emphasizes that the PET bottle is not only visually attractive, but it also ensures the quality of the wine and is practical. This makes it an innovative offering for consumers who care about environmental and climate protection.

The PET wine bottle is made from recycled PET, a material made from discarded PET waste. This helps reduce mountains of waste and supports the circular economy. Producing the PET bottles themselves also saves energy and resources, as PET is a light, break-resistant plastic that is easy to mold.
