Study proves higher recycled wine bottle content reduces carbon

by Claire Churchard
26 Mar 2008

Higher recycled content in plastic and glass wine bottles decreases greenhouse gas emissions,

according to an independent report which examined the carbon impact of the two materials.
The study, commissioned by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), has been

welcomed by British Glass, which said that it will help to “dispel unfavourable criticisms” that glass

has a greater carbon impact than PET. Researchers examined the manufacturing and transportation

‘life’ of the bottles and found that lightweight glass bottles with a high recycled content produced

broadly the same greenhouse gases as the lighter PET bottle. This is because higher CO2 emissions

from PET bottle manufacturing offsets much of the saving made with its lower weight.

British Glass recycling manager Rebecca Cocking said: “We are very encouraged by the findings of

this independent report, which may help dispel some of the unfavourable criticism that glass

packaging is receiving currently with regard to its weight.”

WRAP director of retail and organics programmes Richard Swannell said: “This demonstrates the

positive environmental impact of lightweighting and the incorporation of recycled content.
“ highlights that there are clear environmental wins to be gained by considering carefully the impact

of material choices.” The study compared the carbon impact of 75cl glass and PET wine bottles.

Bottles types included a 45g PET bottle with 0% recycled content, a typical glass bottle of 496g with

81% recycled content and a lightweight glass bottle of 365g with 81% recycled content.

Other comparisons considered included a 365g glass bottle with 92% recycled content and PET bottles

with 50% and100% recycled content. It was found that the emissions for the 54g PET bottle are within

the range of those for the 365g glass bottle.

The report was conducted by Best Foot Forward. For more information visit: www.wrap.org.uk/retail
