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.

As recycling systems have been on hold during the pandemic it is great to see our big glass collection programs getting back to business.
Keeping glass out of our single stream waste system is critical... including refillable glass bottles.

States are rolling back their plastic bag bans and restaurants are turning to single-use utensils to reopen in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
We need to move forward with refillables/reusables.
This is why we started Conscious Container.

States are rolling back their plastic bag bans and restaurants are turning to single-use utensils to reopen in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.No single use!!!
Timeline PhotosWe are happy to introduce the work of our amazing startup Nomo Waste ➡️ @nomowaste !
Nomo works with waste pickers, a vulnerable community, collecting waste that otherwise will end up in landfill. With @abinbev they have an ambitious project recovering one-way beer bottles so they can be refilled and reused by the company.
ABInBev sells in Colombia one million one-way beer bottles daily. Hence, the potential for this project is huge!!!
This project will benefit the waste pickers community, making the price of glass more competitive and a dignified source of income.
We are hosting a Live Session tomorrow with @GeroBasile CEO and founder of @NomoWaste to let you know more about this startup and the strategic alliance with AB inBev.
Join us 💚!
