SPARTA, N.J. – PAPACKS, an award-winning Germany-based manufacturer of sustainable, molded-fiber packaging solutions, will introduce its Fiber-Bottle to the North American marketplace at Pack Expo Las Vegas, September 29-October 1. At Booth #N-5172, the company will be showcasing its new plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging solution, which is suitable for replacing traditional plastic containers in a wide variety of product applications.
Unlike hybrid fiber-plastic solutions, Fiber-Bottle does not require plastic linings, caps or closures, making it recyclable in common paper waste streams. The result is a full-lifespan CO₂ reduction of up to 90% compared with conventional PET or HDPE bottles.
Molded as one piece, PAPACKS’ new Fiber-Bottle is composed entirely from cellulose fibers – including an integrated screw-thread closure that eliminates the need for a plastic cap. To ensure product protection, Fiber-Bottle can be coated with the company’s plant-based barrier technology, which provides ample oxygen and water vapor resistance (OTR/WVTR) without sacrificing the bottle’s recyclability profile.
