British sustainable packaging company Frugalpac is marking the second anniversary of its Frugal Bottle with news that it is set to produce its two millionth paper bottle in 2022.

Frugalpac also unveiled the latest customer for its Frugal Bottle, which is made from 94% recycled paper and is five times lighter than a glass bottle – TV presenter and wine expert Phillip Schofield.

At a Parliamentary reception to mark the launch of the paper bottle two years, Frugalpac revealed that as its Frugal Bottle uses six times less carbon than a glass bottle and four times less water to produce and dispose of, the company will manage to save 932 tonnes of CO2 and 3.8m litres of water. 

The Frugal Bottle is now used by 27 wines, spirits and olive oils brands around the world, and is on sale in Japan, North America, the UK and across Europe and soon to launch in South Africa.

According to the statement, Frugalpac has enquires to make 120m Frugal Bottles from drinks producers around the world and after recently selling its first Frugal Bottle Assembly Machine, it also has strong enquiries from 90 other international brands, contract packing and packaging companies to buy more paper bottle machines in the next few months.

Phillip Schofield, who spoke at the Frugalpac parliamentary reception, will launch his Phillip Schofield red, white and rosé wines, which are currently available in bag-in-box by the UK’s leading provider of wine in alternative packaging, When In Rome, in Frugal Bottles later this year.
