Personally, we first heard about a paper bottle back in 2021. And we immediately told you about it. At that time, this direction was just beginning to develop, but it was already quite promising. Over the past almost four years, several large companies working in this direction have achieved good results. However, they have not yet been able to achieve complete liberation of the bottle from plastic.

However, today we want to tell you about another player in the molded fiber bottle market. This is NBCo. It does not have such solid partners as PulPac or Pulpex, but NBCo is already ready to scale up production of bottles that are 90-99% suitable for further processing in the paper stream. It is claimed that biocoatings are used to maintain the necessary protective properties, providing WVTR and OTR barriers.

The company is currently launching an interesting promotion - Fast Forward 50. The idea is that the first 50 brands that sign up will be sent free molded fiber bottles to test their compatibility with the product they sell. The company claims that the bottles are suitable for both liquids and powders and are certified as safe for contact with food products.

Preference is given to brands whose areas of activity include beauty, personal care, food, beverages and consumer goods.
