Diageo Innovates Sustainable Glass Scotch Whisky Bottles
Diageo Innovates Sustainable Glass Scotch Whisky Bottles
Spirits giant Diageo recently collaborated with glass manufacturer Encirc in a pilot project to create what’s said to be the lowest carbon footprint glass bottles ever produced for a Scotch whisky brand. Diageo and Encirc worked alongside industry research and technology body Glass Futures to create waste-based biofuel-powered furnaces to reduce the carbon footprint of the bottle-making process by 90%.
Diageo used its Black & White Scotch whisky brand to test out the innovative technology. It produced 173,000 Black & White bottles using 100% recycled glass, making it the most environmentally friendly batch of Scotch whiskey ever made, according to the company.
Fresh from their honeymoon, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were looking forward to the highlight of their 12-day tour of Nazi Germany: afternoon tea with Adolf Hitler.
They would be meeting him at the Berghof, his private retreat in the Bavarian Alps. At last, they thought, they would be able to thank Hitler in person for his wedding gift an inscribed gold box.
With Nazi efficiency, police cleared the roads on October 22, 1937, for the Windsors’ motorcade. Unfortunately, this meant that Wallis and Edward arrived an hour ahead of schedule.

Hundreds of thousands of bottles of Black & White Scotch have been produced in furnaces powered by waste in a pioneering trial that could set a fresh standard for low carbon glass bottle production.
Drinks giant Diageo announced late last week it had produced 173,000 recycled-glass whisky bottles in waste-based biofuel furnaces as part of a successful pilot project with glass manufacturer Encirc and government-backed research and development (R&D) body Glass Futures.
