Recycled glass uses a fair amount of energy; reused glass is most energy efficient, but neither customers nor retailers like it.
Would these stand up to being submerged in a cooler of ice water?
This makes me think of milk cartons, which would not, the water would seep into the product.
Shallow greenwashing. Better not to buy bottles of beer - shipping packages of mostly-water around the world is environmentally stupid. (There's always homebrew.) Carlsberg would be a hell of a lot more expensive if we ever decided to do anything about climate change.

I agree, but the big international beer brands (Carlsberg, Heineken, Guiness, ...) don't do that. They buy local brewerys and treat the water to be like from the origin and then use the same recipe and ship from there.
Also, Carlsberg isn't even a good beer.
they should eliminate the extra waste in the paper and just go with bags of beer
Plastic is shunned currently, paper makes you look eco-friendly. Also they already have beer in PET bottles in Denmark for a long time.
I've seen booze sold in plastic bags, in Africa.
Is this processed wood fiber and polymer more energy efficient than using recycled glass? From my understanding, recycled glass can be pretty efficient. Especially for glass bottles which has almost no waste.
