Glatfelter, Blue Ocean Closures, ALPLA Group partner to develop fiber-based cap for Absolut Vodka




CHARLOTTE, NC, June 30, 2022-

Glatfelter Corporation, a leading global supplier of engineered materials, is pleased to announce continued progress in its partnership with Blue Ocean Closures (BOC) and ALPLA Group by working with The Absolut Company to develop an innovative natural fiber-based screw cap for Absolut Vodka’s iconic bottle.

Glatfelter and ALPLA will support BOC and their partnership with The Absolut Company by developing a cellulose- based cap that will be used on Absolut Vodka’s existing glass bottles. These uniquely designed caps will be made from airlaid material, resulting in a product that is recyclable and ocean biodegradable. Prototyping and final design of the caps will be completed in 2022, with plans to launch commercially in 2023.
