Wine pouch systems – innnovative solutions
The wine pouch weighs about 20 times less than glass bottles. And if the wine is made & packaged for example in South Africa or South America and then shipped around the globe, the weight of the package makes a big difference to the eco-impact. (Trust me; this phenomenon is easily detectable on recycling day!)
The best way we scientists have to measure, or quantify, eco-impact is a life-cycle analysis or LCA. (more on that soon!) The results:
* 80% lower carbon footprint
* 90% less landfill waste compared to a glass (okay but NO excuses for not recycling glass!)
The light package is also perfect for picnics, tailgating and pretty much any other time you're carrying alcohol around – and the wine stays fresh for a month (not that it's ever around my house that long!)
