Description
To analyse the feasibility of implementing a glass bottle reuse system in the wine industry at a 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 a national level.
- Validation of a standard bottle to implement the reuse of packaging in the sector.
- Identification of barriers, limitations and opportunities for the implementation of the system in Spain on a global scale and training of wineries to implement the reuse of glass bottles.
- Technical, economic and environmental feasibility of the system in the wineries participating in the pilot test and consumer perception study.
- Simplified technological tool for Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) for environmental analysis of the system.
- Strategy for transferring project results to the sector and stakeholders.
