Great packaging doesn’t just protect a product. It tells its story.
Brilliant to see Wine Business Monthly spotlight Nature’s Grace from Scheid Family Wines, which uses the Frugal Bottle to bring together sustainability, shelf appeal and standout design.

One of the biggest advantages of the Frugal Bottle is creative freedom. Unlike a traditional glass bottle, the entire surface can become part of the label - giving brands more space for colour, storytelling, sustainability messaging and visual impact.

As Scheid’s Kristina Peterson put it: “The entire piece is your label.”
The result? A bottle that is five times lighter than glass, six times lower in carbon footprint, fully recyclable and proof that sustainable packaging is beautiful, modern and premium.

Great conversations, inspiring brands and growing momentum behind low-carbon packaging 🌍🍷

The growing debate around EPR is highlighting something the entire food and drink supply chain can no longer ignore: weight matters.

With reports warning that the UK’s £2bn packaging tax could increase food prices and put pressure on manufacturing investment, businesses are being forced to rethink the true cost of packaging.

At Frugalpac, we believe innovation is part of the solution.

Our recent Reshaping the Bottle report found:
♻️ Glass bottle costs have risen by up to 70% in some markets
♻️ EPR schemes are making glass one of the most expensive packaging materials
♻️ 73% of consumers say they would switch to products with more sustainable packaging
♻️ The Frugal Bottle delivers 84% lower carbon emissions, 77% lower EPR fees and is 5x lighter than glass

Sustainability and affordability shouldn’t be competing priorities.

The future of packaging must reduce carbon, reduce waste and reduce unnecessary costs across the supply chain.

Great to see the launch of alkatera - a platform bringing much-needed clarity, transparency and actionable sustainability data to the drinks industry.
We’re also proud that Frugalpac has become the first verified supplier on the platform, helping brands access independently verified packaging sustainability data as they look to reduce carbon across their supply chains.
As conversations around carbon, packaging, sourcing and green claims continue to evolve, tools like alkatera will play an important role in helping the industry make better-informed decisions backed by real data.

Congratulations to Tim Etherington-Judge and the team on building something that pushes the sustainability conversation forward in a practical and meaningful way. 🌍

What if olive oil packaging protected the product AND the planet? 🌿🫒
This fantastic feature in Greek Liquid Gold explores how paper bottles are helping the olive oil sector rethink its footprint, combining lower-carbon materials with superior product protection.
From AEONS (Enia Foods) in Greece to Jordan Olivenöl in Germany, premium brands are proving that moving beyond traditional glass doesn't mean compromising on quality.
In fact, it means enhancing it.
As the article highlights, the Frugal Bottle offers a "triple win" for the olive oil industry:
✨ Preserving Liquid Gold: Our 94% recycled paperboard provides a 100% light barrier, protecting delicate Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) from photo-oxidation and preserving vital antioxidants.
✨ Lighter Logistics: Being 5x lighter than glass radically reduces transport emissions and makes handling easier across the entire supply chain.
✨ Climate Action: With a carbon footprint 84% lower than glass, it’s a tangible way for producers to meet the growing consumer demand for sustainable, planet-positive choices.
Packaging innovation isn’t just about sustainability claims, it’s about designing formats that work better for the producer, the planet, and the consumer.
A big thank you to Lisa Radinovsky and Greek Liquid Gold for spotlighting the growing role of lower-carbon packaging in this historic industry.
