Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles aren't quite ready to go yet, but you may see then appearing on shelves over the next few years.

Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo need lots of bottles. Usually, these bottles are made of plastic or glass. But caring more about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.

Paper bottles have many advantages. Perhaps the most important is that they should be easy to recycle, and paper bottles are lighter than glass or plastic ones, meaning they'll need less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to mold, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.

But paper bottles aren't perfect. Most paper bottles use water pulp, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles. That could harm animals and others who depend on the forests. There's still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic ones. Companies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don't affect the taste.

But with so many companies working together, it's sure that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
