Are these like milk cartons? How do they hold in the carbonation?
I remember paper straws from early elementary school in the 60’s.
I have an idea, how about glass bottles. Less dangerous chemicals in the manufacturing process.
Maybe they should just go back to glass bottles. Made from sand which is everywhere. Which can be pulverized back into sand. How much more recyclable can you get?
Would be better if you just drank water and avoided all the extra sugar and chemicals. Nasty stuff
Dont buy “Woke” Coke. Problem solved.
And why not glass bottles?
Refillable glass bottles created no waste, and the nickel deposit caused many a roadside to be picked up by teenagers to pay for gas!
Glass bottles. Hey they still work in the Philippines for both soft drinks and beer. Amazing that.
I read this the other day, its stupid.
Its still basically a plastic bottle.
I pondered this concept long ago. Eventually they should be able to come up with a container that easily degrades but still does its job. I wish them luck.
What is paper made out of again?
I don’t think that a standard paper milk carton could handle the pressurized contents of a carbonated soft drink. It’d have to be thicker, stronger paper and the sealing system would need to be more durable.
and they taste way better
what if opening the container releases the carbonation from a pellet
so they threw the rain forest under the bus?
“And here’s a trick: “The barrier must…ensure no [fibers] flake off into the liquid.””
Simply coat the paper bottle inside with pine pitch.
Which would raise the question as to whether or not it is really any more environmentally friendly...
While Coke was once my choice for a cola I no longer use the product.
