Absolut Vodka Bottle Cap
The absolut vodka bottle cap is the lid that secures the vodka inside the bottle.absolut vodka bottle cap It also protects the liquor from light and air, which could affect the taste of the beverage. It is usually made of plastic or glass, and has a screw or twist-on function. It is common for the lid to be printed with a logo or design, and to have a tab to open and close it.
The Absolut Company, part of the Pernod Ricard Group, has partnered with Blue Ocean Closures and ALPLA Group to develop an innovative fibre-based cap for its current glass bottles.absolut vodka bottle cap These new caps are fully recyclable and ocean biodegradable, as well as being made of sustainably sourced materials. The caps reduce the amount of plastic by using a thin top-seal barrier layer made of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), which can be recycled along with closely related polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in small proportions.
In addition, these new caps will feature a metallized film to improve barrier properties and increase clarity. During the development phase, the caps were tested by The Absolut Company and a leading packaging industry recycler to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements and performance standards. In addition, the caps have been subjected to a range of environmental tests, including cyclability, water resistance, oxygen permeability, and strength.
This new cap has been patented, and is currently being manufactured at Blue Ocean Closures’ facility in Sweden. It is expected to be available in 2023 and will replace the current standard plastic caps on the brand’s existing glass bottles. The caps will be produced using a new, high-efficiency press forming method that, according to BOC’s Lars Sandberg COE, makes for a high quality forming with a very short cycle time.
During the testing process, the caps were found to be resistant against a wide variety of conditions and to be reusable. In addition, they are able to withstand freezing temperatures and can be used to store a wide variety of liquids.
These new caps have been compared to the plastic cap used by Absolut since 2008, and show no difference in appearance or functionality. They are also designed to be compatible with the same production lines as the plastic bottle cap, meaning they can be easily swapped for the more sustainable option in current and future production.
These new caps are the first step in achieving The Absolut Company’s ambitious goal of creating a fully circular business by 2025. The company is working with suppliers and partners to make 100% of its packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable. In the past, The Absolut Company has already taken steps to reduce its plastic footprint by removing cardboard dividers from boxes and by replacing wooden pallets with more environmentally friendly alternatives. The company has also stopped sending reusable plastic bags to stores and is reducing its use of PET in its bottles.
