25 May 2021 --- Altia is introducing wine bottles made from recycled PET (rPET) and 3 L recyclable bag-in-box (BiB) wine containers to reduce its carbon footprint. According to the Nordic alcoholic beverage company, the BiB container has “the lowest” carbon footprint: 70 g CO2e per liter, compared to 675 g CO2e per liter for a traditional glass bottle. Meanwhile, the rPET bottles’ carbon footprint is reportedly less than 40 percent of a typical glass wine bottle.
