St-Rémy switches to recycled PET for XO, VSOP bottles
St-Rémy changed its plastic 50-cl St-Rémy XO and VSOP bottles and its 1.75-liter St-Rémy VSOP plastic bottle from PET to recycled PET plastic. With the transfer to rPET on these three formats, St-Rémy will emit 29% less carbon dioxide, and use a third less water and energy than with plastic bottles made with the traditional PET, it says.
The packaging will celebrate this change, with “this bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic” displayed in a green icon on the new bottles. The move to non-virgin plastic when producing these new bottles will save nearly 50 tons of virgin plastic and almost 100 tons of carbon dioxide, it says.
