Maverick Enterprises, Inc is pleased to announce a new generation of eco friendly wine capsules called the Absolute Green Line. This new product line for Maverick is an ecological alternative for wineries which provides customers with a capsule manufactured with bio-based polyethylene (PE), produced with sugar cane and water-based inks, instead of oil and solvents.

This allows consumers to understand their packaging is of the most environmentally friendly as they enjoy their wine. Th
