Pioneering Canadian packaging company KinsBrae Packaging has been selected as a finalist at the prestigious SIAL Innovation Competition – a unique international competition that awards the best innovations in food and non-food products – for the 2024 Innovation Award, with the first paper bottle for wine, spirits, and olive oil.
The annual SIAL Innovation Competition is the DNA of SIAL events worldwide. SIAL Innovation is a platform for the most innovative products globally, providing participants with an experience that will enable them to discover the latest trends in the food and beverage industry.
KinsBrae’s KB Bottle is the world's first commercially available paper bottle designed for non-carbonated beverages and oils. Made from 100% recycled paperboard, they are five times lighter than a normal glass bottle; weighing just 83g. KB Bottles have a carbon footprint up to six times lower than a glass bottle; they use 77% less plastic than a plastic bottle, and their water footprint is four times lower than a typical glass bottle.
KinsBrae Packaging manufactures KB Bottles on the Frugal Bottle Assembly Machine (FBAM-1), established by UK company, Frugalpac. This is the first machine in the world and is now running at full production in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
“It’s exciting that this innovative, sustainable, and revolutionary alternative to glass is being recognized around the world, and we are honoured that the KB Bottle has been chosen as a finalist for the SIAL Innovation award!” – Katy Saito, Marketing Manager, KinsBrae Packaging.
Ontario based company, Frisky Beaver, was the first winery to launch two wines in the KB Botle in Ontario and can be found at the LCBO. Launch partner, Georgian Bay Spirit Co.’s Eco-Friendly Gin is also available at the LCBO, with plans to distribute across Canada.
