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.

Collaboration is key.
Organizations and companies like AB InBev, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Toast Ale are sharing information and collaborating with competitors to solve climate change.
It’s becoming a business necessity because our sustainability challenges are more important than higher profits.
And, many are finding that the collaboration and transparency are having surprising effects. Unexpected participation, connections, and even profits going up….in addition to building trust.

How can the beverage industry bring about a sea change in sustainability?
www.beveragedaily.com
The drinks industry scores a measly 4.8 out of 10 for sustainability in a report released this week. How can it improve?
Straub Brewery is one of the very few breweries in the country offering Reusable Bottles and Packaging.
Their refillables are available at select distributors across PA. A $5 deposit is charged at the time of purchase and is redeemable upon return.
We at Conscious Container commend them for continuing the tradition that started at Straub Brewery in 1946.

Tony Milikin, chief sustainability officer at AB InBev, is gearing up to find the next group of startups solving global sustainability issues.
We love the idea of curbside collection that separates valuable recyclable and refillable items!
Separation at source, basically at the home or business, is a core solution to keeping valuable materials in a circular system of use and reuse.
Kudos to Bradley Beach, NJ, in collaboration with SCJohnson corporation, for collaborating on this real-world circular economy solution.
And for reference, "film" recycling is not your mom's old kodak ephemera. 😀 "Film recycling" is all that horrible plastic wrap that comes on everything but, more than likely, your local recyclers do not want. It is zip locks, plastic grocery bags, plastic wrap, bubble wrap, etc etc etc.
