Beer bottles are recyclable, but they have never been biodegradable. That might soon be changing because the Danish beer maker Carlsberg has announced plans to make a completely biodegradable beer bottle from wood and paper pulp. The bottles will have a texture similar to that of an egg carton. If you’re worried about a wood-y taste in your beer because of the paper bottle, don’t be. Carlsberg has said that the quality of the beer will not be compromised, even if the bottle is made from cardboard.
