Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle to eliminate plastic from its packaging completely.
Coca-Cola was ranked the world's number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free From Plastic, last year.
The Paper Bottle Company Paboco is the Danish firm behind development of the paper-based container. However, extra-strong paper shell still contains a thin plastic liner.
The goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic-free bottle which prevents gas escaping from carbonated drinks by 2030.
