In February 2022 Russia attacked Ukraine. Few people outside the trade know that a significant share of Europe's glass bottle production sat in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Ukrainian furnaces stopped or lost their logistics, and embargoes closed the Russian and Belarusian ones.
The price of a bottle doubled. The market has calmed since, but the price never came back. Energy stayed expensive, so a glass bottle still costs 50 to 60 percent more than it did before 2022.
I was running a bottling plant at the time. I was not looking for innovation. I was looking for anything I could pour wine into.
The first idea was PET. It failed for two separate reasons. Consumers believe PET is bad for the environment, and there they are wrong. They also find it inelegant, and there they are right. It does not belong on a premium shelf.
So I went looking for a bottle that is light, premium, low in carbon and saves money at every stage. I came across the technology of a British producer and saw in it what only someone from inside the industry sees: where it is too expensive and why it does not scale. Fixing those points was the whole idea behind CorruGet.
And the part that matters most today: we arrived at this before anyone had heard of PPWR. Even then our numbers said it paid for itself on cost alone, with no regulation behind it. PPWR did not create that case, it strengthened it, and it confirmed what we believed: replacing glass in beverages for good works in three directions at once. For the producer’s margin, for the environment, and for a customer who wants a solution that is cheap and ecological at the same time, not one or the other.
All four categories share one problem: packaging cost rises faster than the price you can charge. For companies that live on contract bottling, cutting logistics cost and carbon is not an ESG project. It is the only room left to save the business.
Bartłomiej Sarecki, founder of CorruGetThe beverage industry relies on a 2,000-year-old heavy container that drains margins through weight, energy, and rigid supply chains.
Plastic and carton (Tetra Pak, bag-in-box) serve the commodity segment — they cannot replicate the premium brand experience that glass provides. Wine, spirits, and functional beverage brands refuse to downgrade their packaging aesthetics.
CorruGet is the only sustainable alternative that delivers premium shelf presence comparable to glass — with 360° printable surface, tactile corrugated texture, and bottle-shaped form factor.
CorruGet's two-component architecture (separable corrugated shell + mono-material barrier bag) is directly recommended by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) and Polish Packaging Chamber (PIO) official guidelines for designing recyclable packaging. Separable single-material components = the gold standard of circularity.
A two-component architecture — precision-formed corrugated outer shell and high-barrier inner bag — engineered for industrial-scale assembly at up to 5,000 units per hour.
Precision-formed from FSC-certified corrugated board. 82% lighter than glass. Inherent structural rigidity through flute geometry — sealed with natural adhesive at closure, no plastic laminates. Fully recyclable in standard paper streams.
100% Fiber-BasedMulti-layer barrier providing near-glass-level protection against O₂, CO₂, and UV light. Developed with university R&D partners. Ensures aroma retention and extended shelf life for wine, spirits, and functional beverages.
Near-Glass-Level ProtectionAutomated turnkey production line: shell forming, bag insertion, filling, and capping — up to 5,000 units/hour. Designed by Magma SAP with 25+ years of industrial automation expertise. Scalable by multiplying lines.
Industry 4.0Material foundation built on two granted Polish patents held by our CTO (P421.230 & P427.412) — cellulose fibre lamination and nano-enhanced corrugated structures. Freedom-to-operate analysis for the CorruGet bottle shows no conflicts; the company's own filings are in preparation, with PCT extension. EFSA and FDA food contact certification pipeline in progress.
Freedom to OperateBottle blanks are already produced on industrial thermoforming machines at our partner in Germany, and the prototype bottle is ready for inspection. Next comes a certified demonstrator line at 5,000 units per hour, targeted eighteen months from closing the round.

We do not sell lines through a sales rep. You talk directly to the people who built the technology, and at every stage you know what you are getting and what we still do not know.
You can walk away at any of these stages and lose nothing. The first three steps cost you nothing.

Request Pilot Line Quote65+ combined years of industry expertise — from the initial vision, through materials technology, to full-scale industrial automation.
The idea started here. With 10+ years building and scaling a wine business through market upheavals, Bartłomiej identified a core, structural pain of the beverage industry — and set out to solve it. As CEO of AWE Sp. z o.o. (until April 2024), he built and operated an industrial bottling line rated at 10–15M bottles/year, steering the company through multiple market crises. AWE's structural challenges directly inspired the CorruGet concept. He leads strategy, commercial development, and fundraising.
Jacek brought the technology. With 30+ years in the corrugated packaging industry — across Poland and the US — he developed and refined the materials and processing technologies that make CorruGet possible. Author of two granted patents (P421.230 & P427.412) covering cellulose fiber lamination and nano-enhanced corrugated packaging. Active scientific collaboration with Białystok University of Technology. A material platform ready to scale.
When the technology was ready to scale, Maciej joined to tackle the hardest part: making it real on the factory floor. As CEO of Magma SAP, he leads a team of technical experts across engineering and automation disciplines, routinely called upon industry-wide to solve complex production challenges. 25+ years deploying full-scale Industry 4.0 production lines across food, beverage and chemical industries.
