Abstract

L'invention concerne, dans des modes de réalisation, un emballage écologique pour des liquides, familièrement connu sous le nom de bouteille en tissu. Un tissu biodégradable revêtu, mis à adhérer à une embouchure qui s'accouple à un capuchon pour boisson, peut permettre une étanchéification de type barrière étanche à l'eau et à l'air autour du liquide, et fournir aux consommateurs de la boisson une alternative écologique et esthétiquement plaisante au plastique, au verre et à l'aluminium.
