Packaging is a logical place to start when developing green products.
Packaging is a logical place to start when developing green products. And wine packaging - wine in a box - is a first step. Lest you turn your nose up, a number of brands of wines sold in boxes have won national attention.
We have it directly from a trusted source -
Adam Dewitz of WhatTheyThink - that
Bota Box wines are "decent." That's his opinion after finishing a box of
Old Vine Zinfandel.
What's the "green effect" of the brand's new packaging?
- Produces 85% less landfill waste than traditional glass package
- Printed on recycled paper containing 100% post-consumer fiber
- Box is 100% recyclable
- Printed on Kraft paper which doesn't need to be bleached like white paper
- Paper layers are bonded together with cornstarch instead of glue
- All inks and coatings are soy based instead of petroleum based
- The bag does not contain phthalate plasticizers or Bisphenol-A (BPA)
