Can I order some bottles?

When bottle manufacturers begin to produce bottles, they will be able to produce certain standard bottle shapes which will be available for sale at the minimum order quantities and prices they set.
Why do we need a paper bottle? Glass is great, and recyclable too.
At Pulpex, we believe consumers should decide what type of bottle they prefer to use. Glass bottles are created using a lot of energy (which can create CO2 emissions) and recycling glass also takes a lot of energy. Many glass bottles are not recycled, especially in geographies with poor recycling infrastructure. Glass bottles that aren't recycled can last hundreds of years in the natural environment and if broken can create a safety hazard to humans and animals.
What are the technical specifications / can I have a data sheet?
Technical specifications for three of our typical bottle shapes can be found here. When bottle manufacturers begin to roll-out the technology, information packs on how to work with Pulpex for your packaging design will be more broadly available.
