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.

The European Union Just Voted To Ban Single-Use Plastics By 2021
www.forbes.com
The European Parliament just voted to enact a sweeping ban on single-use plastics - the scourge of the seas - by 2021 by a whopping majority.So no ban of single use plastic drink bottles. Just a 90% target collection rate for recycling?
A refillable glass bottle will reduce energy use and emissions through circular reuse cycles, and leveraging zero emission transportation adds to the overall energy savings and CO2 impacts. Well done ABInBev!

Could 'invisible barcodes' revolutionise recycling?

A pilot is in progress to see if invisible barcodes on packaging can improve recycling rates."Reuse is fundamentally different, it’s an area of business opportunity.” — Annette Lendal, Senior Research Analyst for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation
We at Conscious Container could not agree more.
