Eco-friendly Elegance – The Plastic Wine Bottle Revolution
A sustainable twist on tradition
Introducing our innovative plastic wine bottle – In a world where glass has long been synonymous with wine sophistication, we’re breaking the mould. As the wine industry strives for sustainability without compromising quality, PET bottles offer a promising solution. Say hello to our plastic wine bottle made of PET and rPET; it is a modern marvel that challenges convention and embraces a future of accessible, eco-friendly wine enjoyment for a sustainable wine industry.
Key advantages of using our recyclable bottle for wine
Why should you use PET for bottling wine? With environmental concerns at the forefront, wineries are seeking eco-friendly alternatives to traditional glass bottles. The PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are made of recyclable plastic. They offer features such as the ability to achieve 100% rPET or to simplify transport requirements. This sustainable wine packaging not only reduces carbon emissions but also minimises waste, supporting a circular economy. The benefits that make our wine bottles the go-to choice for bottlers worldwide:
Life cycle assessment
Choosing our 30% rPET wine bottle isn’t just a choice for quality, it’s a choice for the environment. Compared to a standard glass bottle, our plastic wine bottle has a 42% lower carbon footprint. By choosing our bottle, you’re fully recyclable, supporting a circular economy and reducing waste.
Flavour and shelf life
Blind tastings show no differences in flavour compared to wine from glass bottles. Whether it's a bold red, a crisp white or a delicate rosé, PET doesn’t compromise the flavour. These lightweight, unbreakable wine bottles have a shelf life of around six months, making them ideal for short-term storage.
Cost-efficiency with PET wine bottles
Switching from glass to PET wine bottles offers significant cost savings of up to 30% compared to glass bottles – without compromising on quality. Our PET bottles are compatible with conventional metal screw caps and closures; they are also suitable for all types of wine.
Seamless integration with existing bottling lines
Our PET wine bottles offer both environmental benefits and practicality. Available in 750 ml or 1,000 ml sizes, transparent or green, they seamlessly integrate with existing bottling lines and closures. This compatibility ensures a smooth transition to sustainable packaging without major adjustments. ALPLA provides flexibility in production, tailored to wineries’ individual wine packaging needs.
