Ardagh Glass Packaging-Europe (AGP-Europe), part of Ardagh Group, has released a new glass wine bottle that weighs 300g.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This development features a lightweight design while maintaining strength and visual appeal, the company said.<\/p>\n

The introduction of this bottle comes as the wine sector faces challenges related to environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

The 75cl bottle is designed for still wines and is engineered to perform effectively on high-speed filling lines.<\/p>\n

It is built to endure the rigours of supply chain handling while preserving the aesthetic qualities that glass packaging is known for, all with a notable reduction in weight, the company added.<\/p>\n

This new product reflects AGP\u2019s focus on advancing sustainable packaging solutions, aimed at assisting wine producers in achieving their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

AGP-UK sales director Nick Witton said: \u201cThis is more than a lightweight bottle, it\u2019s a complete packaging solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve developed a 300g bottle that also delivers the strength and premium look that brands and consumers demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, AGP-Europe announced that it would<\/a> produce emerald-green bottles for its long-term partner, J\u00e4germeister, using its NextGen Furnace technology.<\/p>\n

This collaboration aimed to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of the existing J\u00e4germeister glass bottle.<\/p>\n

AGP-Europe had been manufacturing bottles for J\u00e4germeister for over 20 years.<\/p>\n

Ardagh reported that the NextGen Furnace technology has shown its capability in creating amber glass packaging, resulting in a 64% decrease in carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

This was accomplished by using 60% renewable electricity and integrating up to 70% recycled materials.<\/p>\n
