Aluminium vs Glass ♻

While glass’ raw material is more sustainable, aluminium has a super low footprint, which makes it not only a convenient, ready-to-drink anywhere, but also a great environmental packaging.

Some facts:

• 70% of all drink cans are recycled worldwide

• it takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminium than making it from its raw materials

• aluminium can be 100% recycled indefinitely

• it’s lightweight makes its greenhouse gas emissions smaller than glass for transport

• but if left in landfill, it will take 500 years before it oxidises. So, please recycle!

Glass bottles remain a favourite sustainable packaging option for beverages despite their high energy requirements to produce and weight, which increase greenhouse gas emissions compared to aluminium. 

Here is why:

• It's made from natural ingredients (such as sand)

• Glass is non-toxic and less porous than plastic

• 100% recyclable, indefinitely without losing its quality

• recycled glass bottle consumes less energy to produce than from its raw material

You can pick your favourite option, with season 1 in an aluminium can and season 2 in a glass bottle. Whether you want it for style or sustainability, you have the option.
