By GlobalDataWith a weight of 390g and using 82% recycled glass in its manufacture, the Estampe bottle’s carbon footprint is 25% less than that of classic 500g bottles at only 249g of CO₂ equivalent.
The bottle’s performance can be further optimised by the dematerialisation of the overlapping capsule and the adoption of a cork stopper and a paper label.
Its residual carbon footprint is being offset by the purchase of carbon credits, including the planting of orchards in France and the financing of a reforestation project in Brazil.
O-I Glass general manager in France and Spain Walter Ferrer commented: “In line with the demands of winegrowers and bottlers, Estampe offers a packaging solution expected by the market and is already giving rise to the first sales.”
In mid-2023, O-I Glass released a sustainability report stating that it had retained more than 100,000 tonnes of glass packaging in the circular economy by the end of 2022.
Key customers of O-I Glass include Anheuser-Busch InBev, Brown-Forman, Carlsberg, Coca-Cola, Constellation, Diageo, Heineken, Molson Coors, Nestle, PepsiCo and Pernod Ricard.
