NBCo, which works with fibre-based sustainable materials, joins existing participants Diageo, Opella (formerly Sanofi), Haleon and Logoplaste in the collaboration.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

NBCo CEO and founder Alvin Lim stated: \u201cWe\u2019re now looking to push both dry and wet bottles as part of our portfolio. The Bottle Collective is a natural extension of our mission to scale regenerative fibre systems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining PulPac\u2019s innovation with our manufacturing expertise, we can broaden what\u2019s possible for fibre bottles and bring circular packaging to more brands around the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group is a collaborative ecosystem, focused on speeding up the development of commercially viable fibre-based bottle systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Citing The Courage to Change Report, the announcement notes that the beauty industry produces more than 120 billion packaging units each year, with a significant share going to landfill.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sector is responsible for one-third of global landfill waste, while 70% of its plastic waste is not recycled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bottle Collective has been set up to support brands in moving towards fibre-based bottle solutions that meet design and performance expectations while aiming to lower their environmental footprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PulPac and PA Consulting formed the Bottle Collective to bring together brand owners, manufacturers and technology providers to push forward the commercial roll-out of dry-moulded fibre bottles at scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NBCo specialises in fibre-based packaging and runs a decentralised manufacturing network designed to enable local production, cut transport-related emissions and support scaleable supply arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PA Consulting is an innovation and transformation consultancy employing more than 4,000 specialists across various sectors, with offices in the UK, US, the Netherlands and the Nordics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PulPac is the developer of dry-moulded fibre, characterised as an industrial fibre-forming technology intended for high-speed, resource-efficient packaging production, delivered through a global network of partners and licensees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
