O-I PACKAGING SOLUTIONS AND REVINO ROLL OUT RETURNABLE, REUSABLE GLASS WINE BOTTLES TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST
16 Aprile 2024 - 11:26PM
O-I Packaging Solutions (“O-IPS”), along with Revino,
announce the introduction of returnable, reusable glass wine
bottles to advance the sustainability of wine packaging,
first rolling out in Oregon and extending soon to the west coast.
O-IPS, a global manufacturer of sustainable glass packaging,
will locally produce more than 2.4 million reusable glass wine
bottles as part of Revino’s return system. Revino was founded to
revive the reusable glass bottle ecosystem for beverage producers
and consumers.
“Glass packaging for wine is made from pure and natural
resources that are inert, infinitely recyclable and reliably
preserve the integrity of the wine it packages,” said Randy Burns,
Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer for O-I Glass.
“By extending the use phase of the glass packaging through return
and refill winery partnerships, Revino is maximizing the
sustainability of packaging for environmentally conscious wine
producers.”
A 2020 study by Zero Waste Europe identified reusable packaging
as the most environmentally friendly option. Revino with its
end-to-end returnable glass bottle reuse system, built for the wine
industry, seeks to create a more conscious mindset that encourages
wineries and consumers to invest in more durable, and long-lasting,
packaging for wine that will endure multiple use cycles.
On average, a
reusable glass bottle can be reused 25-50 times before being
retired and recycled into new glass packaging.
By providing a closed
loop system that keeps bottles in circulation, Revino will
support the wine industry’s drive towards lower emissions, reduce
reliance on imported glass, and drive a more circular and
sustainable model.
“In the spirit of hope
and possibility, I envision a world where reusable bottles are not
just a practical solution, but instead symbolize our collective
determination and commitment to safeguarding our natural resources
for future generations,” said Keenan O’Hern, founder of Revino.
“Revino is more than a business venture; this is a shared journey
toward a more sustainable and thriving future.”
More than 70
wineries have joined in with Revino's mission since the company's
inception. As part of the program, Revino will deliver reusable
glass bottles to participating wineries, which will be filled
using standard bottling equipment, Wine in Revino bottles will
be available beginning in the summer of 2024.
Once empty, the
reusable bottles can be returned to the winery it was purchased at,
or any partner locations, including all participating winery
tasting rooms, and select retailers and restaurants. Collected
bottles will be brought back to Revino’s state-of-the-art
bottle washing facility where bottles will be washed,
inspected, and tested to ensure they are ready to start the process
again.
