Description

To analyze the feasibility of implementing a glass bottle reuse system in the wine industry at the national level, as a sectoral contribution to the Spanish Circular Economy Strategy.

Objectives
  • To determine the quantitative scope of application of the wine bottle reuse system in Spain and the interest of producers in introducing reusable packaging.
  • To design and validate a standard reusable bottle model to facilitate its implementation in Spain, in order to explore its possible approval at European level.
  • Identify the main barriers, limitations and opportunities for the implementation of the system in the Horeca channel and propose solutions to overcome these barriers through a guide to good practices.
  • Design a real pilot test of the reuse model, integrating digital applications for traceability and assessing its technical, economic and environmental viability.
  • Develop a simplified technological tool to guide wineries on the potential environmental benefits of reusing glass bottles.
  • Design the communication and dissemination plan for the project in the wine sector.
Results
  • Measuring the potential of the glass bottle reuse system in the wine sector at the national level.
  • Validation of a standard bottle to implement container reuse in the sector.
  • Identification of barriers, limitations, and opportunities for implementing the system in Spain on a global scale and training wineries to implement glass bottle reuse.
  • Technical, economic, and environmental viability of the system in the wineries participating in the pilot test and consumer perception study.
  • Simplified technological tool for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) for environmental analysis of the system.
  • Strategy for transferring project results to the sector and stakeholders.
