Eco-Friendly Alcohol Bottles : glass spirits bottle

This Bacardi glass spirits bottle is poised by the brand as the world’s first hydrogen-fueled alcohol packaging that prioritizes a decidedly more sustainable profile. The bottle packaging was created in partnership with Hrastnik1860 using a glass furnace powered using hydrogen as the main energy source to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions created. The trial saw 150,000 bottles produced with the glass furnace powered by more than 60% hydrogen for a total reduction in emissions by 30%.

VP of Safety, Quality and Sustainability Rodolfo Nervi spoke on the Bacardi glass spirits bottle saying, “Piloting this lower carbon glass production is another example of Bacardi leading the industry in environmental best practice. We will take the learnings from the trial to help shape a pathway to hydrogen-fuelled glass production and create a blueprint for others to follow. It’s only through making change as an industry that we can bring significant change to our impact on the environment.”
