17 Jul 2023 --- Amcor Rigid Packaging (ARP) and Ron Rubin Winery are launching “the first” premium wine packaged in a 750 mL bottle in the US made from 100% recycled PET (rPET) plastic, branded Blue Bin. As PET-based wine bottles are light and shatterproof, consumers can travel with the bottles more conveniently. Furthermore, glass bottles account for 30% of wine’s carbon footprint – reportedly the largest environmental impact across the product’s value chain. A wine bottle made from PET is 85% lighter than one made from glass and has one-third the GHG emissions, highlights Amcor.
