Tethered Caps
Tethered caps – caps that remain firmly attached to the bottle once it is opened and during use – will become part of daily life for consumers in the EU by 2024.
Technology: Injection Moulding (IM)
Paboco
In April 2019, ALPLA and BillerudKorsnäs, the leading Swedish provider of paper packaging materials and solutions, announced that they were starting a joint venture for the development of a paper bottle. This joint venture is now an established company by the name of Paboco (Paper Bottle Company).

Coffee capsules (compostable at home)
In cooperation with Golden Compound, ALPLA is bringing a world first onto the market: a biodegradable coffee capsule that consumers can dispose of in their home compost. Made from organically based material with sunflower seed shells, the capsule and filter fleece are completely biodegradable in the garden compost within a maximum of six months, and are free from aluminium and genetically modified organisms.

Vöslauer closure with pocket ring
The pocket ring can be folded up from the screw cap on 0.5-litre Vöslauer mineral water bottles. This enables the bottle to be carried conveniently and practically like an accessory.

Milk and dairy packaging
100% rPET NÖM Milk Bottle
ALPLA and NÖM setting new benchmarks in environmentally friendly packaging for milk products.
While its competitors have opted for glass, the company NÖM has intentionally set its sights on plastic as its packaging material. The new NÖM milk bottle is made entirely of recycled PET (rPET) and is fully recyclable.
Technology: Injection Stretch Blow Moulding (ISBM)
ECO-Bottle
Ultralight EBM bottle with handle. The special ALPLA design enables this cost-effective packaging solution with a reduced carbon footprint, ideal for milk.
Technology: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
Beauty care packaging
Aerosol
This PET packaging solution for aerosols combines benefits for consumers and for the environment. It is suitable for a variety of applications, from deodorants to sunscreens and even room fragrances.
Technology: Injection Stretch Blow Moulding ISBM
Foaming
EBM bottle with three layers, where the middle layer is foamed based on a special procedure (foam technology). Material consumption and weight are thus reduced by around 15 per cent, with the same functionality and recyclability. The process is a purely physical one and does not require any chemical additives.
This innovation has won multiple awards. In November 2014, ALPLA won the special prize from ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria AG) as part of the Austrian ‘Smart Packaging’ state prize. In 2015, ALPLA received the PackTheFuture award in the environmental design category, and then at the beginning of 2016, it received the prestigious WorldStar award in the Health and Beauty category from the World Packaging Organisation.

NOW
With NOW, ALPLA is presenting an ideal packaging solution for concentrated cleaning chemicals. Alongside the numerous environmental benefits, it also offers special added value: it is safe, easy and fun for consumers to use.
Technology: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
The Simple One
The idea behind The Simple One bag was to reduce the material as much as possible, while still having an attractive and functional packaging solution. With the reduction of material and careful selection of recyclable material, the bag underlines ALPLA’s efforts for a sustainable, environmentally conscious use of resources, thus decreasing the strain on the environment.
Technology: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
Two-chamber bottle
Convenient bottle with two individual chambers to mix two liquids together during use. No assembly is required during production, as the bottle is produced in a single process.
Technology: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
Pour dose
In the case of detergents and household cleaning products, it is important to ensure correct measurements – for optimal results with highly efficient use of the product. ALPLA developed a flip-flop closure with integrated measurement (25–180 ml). The flip-top closure is more convenient than a screw cap and also offers additional benefits to consumers thanks to its dosing unit.
Technology: Injection Moulding (IM), Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
Clorox
In cooperation with the Clorox Company, based in the USA, ALPLA developed ‘Smart Tube’ technology for optimal residual emptying of spray bottles. The spray nozzle cannot be moved, while the standing tube at the front reaches to the base of the bottle. This enables every last drop of the cleaning product to be used up without the need to shake or screw the bottle. The innovation received the DuPont Award in Gold in 2013.
Technology: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM)
Angled Neck
Convenient bottle with an angled neck allows precise application in difficult-to-reach areas. Can be used for toilet cleaners, for example.
Technology: Injection Stretch Blow Moulding (ISBM)
