The Bottle Collective, a consortium focused on developing sustainable single-use bottles, has announced a new member: Logoplaste, a global leader in rigid packaging solutions.
The Bottle Collective, a collaborative effort led by PA Consulting and PulPac, aims to create eco-friendly bottles that are cost-effective and suitable for mass production.
It utilises PulPac's Dry Molded Fiber (DMF) technology, which produces high-performing fibre bottles made from recyclable pulp and cellulose materials.
PA and PulPac said they have developed the underlying technology needed to bring a functioning DMF bottle to life.
The first bottle prototypes have been produced with an aim to release the bottles at scale by 2025.
The collective said Logoplaste brings expertise in injection moulding and blowing technologies to the table.
It will play a key role in enhancing the barrier performance of the bottle's lining, ensuring it meets the specific requirements of different products.
This collaboration aligns perfectly with Logoplaste’s mission of promoting sustainable packaging solutions.
"Together with our global brand partners, we can fast-track the development of the world’s first Dry Molded Fiber bottle. We’ve already created the technology and the process,” said Jamie Stone, partner at PA Consulting.
“Partnering with established leaders in the rigid packaging space like Logoplaste reinforces to the market that our Dry Molded Fiber bottles are capable of being produced at the speed, volume, and cost necessary to match the massive scale of this global industry challenge.”
“By joining the Bottle Collective we remain totally aligned with the DNA of Logoplaste, that is looking to solutions under a fully agnostic approach and offering a broad view of solutions that respond to the specific sustainability needs of each one of our partners,” added Paulo Correia, CTO at Logoplaste.
This partnership signifies a significant step forward in developing a commercially viable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional single-use bottles.
