Packamama is internationally recognised for its lightweight, shatterproof, and fully recyclable bottles, which significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional glass bottles. The company’s distinctive flat-pack bottle design optimises space efficiency in transport and storage, further reducing emissions across the supply chain. Currently made from 100% recycled PET (rPET), Packamama’s bottles support circularity and sustainability in the wine sector.
With the introduction of releaf®, Packamama takes sustainable innovation in wine packaging to another level. Releaf® offers a unique sustainability advantage: it is plant-based, recyclable, and delivers a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional materials such as glass or conventional, virgin plastics. Beyond its environmental benefits, releaf® provides superior barrier properties that protects wine quality, making it an ideal choice for premium, sustainable packaging.
To support this development, Packamama has secured an AU$1 million grant from the Australian government. This grant, which Avantium supported, was awarded under the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII), provided to support Packamama’s efforts to decarbonize Australian wine packaging. This international recognition and governmental support underscore the growing global interest in sustainable wine packaging solutions.
