HOW IT WORKS
WHY REFILLABLE GLASS?
IMPACT
Reduces single-use packaging waste and costs producers considerably less
SUSTAINABLE
Refillables have a 95% lower carbon footprint, use much less water, and requires significantly less energy than the production of single-use bottles!
ENGAGEMENT
Growing consumer participation and a unique marketing differentiator
Sustainability
Lower Carbon Footprint
A refillable 12oz glass bottle has a 95% lower carbon footprint than single use 12oz glass bottle. Latin America and European Carbon Footprint data from the Owens-Illinois The Complete Life Cycle Assessment Report.
Less Water
In Germany, for every 200 500ml bottles of beer delivered, the washing process for refillable 500ml bottles making 50 trips uses 82% less water than is needed for 12oz one-way bottles delivering the same amount of beverage. Based on data from Case Reopened: Reassessing Refillable Bottles by David Saphire.
Less Energy
A study of the Canada’s Ontario Liquor Board estimates that washing a ton of refillable bottles (4,000 12oz bottles) uses 92 percent less energy than is needed to manufacture a ton of glass. Based on data from Case Reopened: Reassessing Refillable Bottles by David Saphire.
Our Mission
To deliver an environmentally and economically viable refillable glass bottle system to reduce our single use packaging waste challenge while reducing producer’s packaging costs and CO2 impact.

Recycling is hard. That's why we have to eliminate single use packaging and not get distracted.
StackitNOW is a great idea but also demonstrates how intractable the problem is.Our large beverage and commodity producers are putting forward many solutions to hopefully reduce single use packaging production.
As you know, we feel the best avenue is companies investing in refillable glass solutions.

Aluminum bottles are not "the greenest bottle"
Aluminum is replacing plastic to deceive "environmentally conscious consumers" into buying an equally damaging single use container.Conscious Container also believes recycling is not going to save us from our single-use packaging crisis.
Refillable glass delivers a packaging solution to reduce the flow of single-use containers...of all material types!
And, refillable glass compared to single-use glass see reductions in CO2 footprint, water and energy by over 80%.

Many of our leading Consumer Packaging Goods (CPG) companies are launching sustainability initiatives and investments.
There is a call for single-use packaging producers to drive funding for infrastructure systems and sustainable solutions.
Here is article on one CPG setting an impressive marker.
