Absolut Vodka in a Paper Bottle – Importance
During times of growing environmental awareness, companies have been facing significant pressures to start implementing more environmentally friendly solutions in the packaging of their products. More than 75% of global consumers state that environmentally friendly packaging is either essential or nice to have. Thus, companies need to rethink their packaging solutions. Absolut Vodka claimed that the launch of their new paper bottle was a way to meet both clients and the planet’s needs.
Absolut Vodka argues that one of its main motivations in releasing the paper-based bottle was to pressure the global recycling industry to enhance and develop efficient recycling streams worldwide and drive consumer engagement in sustainability. Absolut’s paper bottle is the first paper-based packaging content of 40% ABV sold commercially in-store globally, which can be considered the first innovation of this kind in the market.
