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.

Beverage makers have dodged California's recycling crisis. That may soon change

State lawmakers are mulling bills to make beverage makers more responsible for recycling their cans and bottles.Although not as well known in the US, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation is driving an authentic, actionable, and accessible narrative on how we all can shift from a "wasteful linear" to "resourceful circular" economy.

Blue Bottle, aiming for 'zero waste' in 2020, could eliminate to-go coffee cups

The upscale coffee chain's goals mirror a larger shift as more and more companies target their waste footprints. The cup pilot will begin in two California locations.🙏 !!!!!!
First off—refillable glass bottles can be used, collected, washed, and refilled OVER 25 TIMES....a zero waste packaging option.
A challenging recycling option we all need to be aware of is 'chemical recycling'.
This article shares the impacts and influencers of this, quite frankly, scary plastics recycling option.
Stay aware....

What's happening to all the "recycled" waste now that it's not shipped to China?

It's déjà vu all over again as the industry pushes "chemical recycling".Refilling in glass is critical to reducing single-use plastic waste while not contributing to more plastic waste.

Decades ago it was common practice in the beverage industry for customers to bring glass bottles back to the bottling company for a discounted refill. Local bottlers sold directly to the public to lim..."Glass has not only received FDA's seal of approval, but it also allows manufacturers to produce products in a way that can lead to higher quality.”
Glass and refillable glass are gaining ground as the most sustainable and best packaging option for beverages and food products. We are hearing from all types of food and beverage companies on how they can bring refillable glass into their packaging options.
