ecoSPIRITS

ecoSPIRITS has secured USD 3 million in trade finance facilities from Singapore-based DBS Bank. The new loan facility, which was secured under Enterprise Singapore's 'Enterprise Financing Scheme – Green' (EFS-Green), will be used to help ecoSPIRITS scale up its capacity to manufacture and deploy low waste, circular distribution technologies for spirits, while also helping its existing partners scale up their circular packaging operations. . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Great to see lots of ecoTOTEs on display at New Zealand Bar Con earlier this month. ecoTOTEs were filled with some excellent spirits including Roots Dry Gin by Elemental Distillers Ltd, Ink Gin and Husk Rum by Husk Farm Distillery, a selection of agave spirits by True Believers and Planterary Rum by Maison Ferrand. Excellent work Team Proof & Company!  . . . #nzbarcon #nzbc2024 #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Thank you Cruise Industry News for covering the collaboration between Carnival Cruise Line and ecoSPIRITS in your latest issue, whereby Carnival's house pour rum – Bacardi Superior – is delivered in ecoTOTE™ format to four (and soon to be five!) ships. The predicted waste reduction figures are impressive for 2024. Here's to more success in 2025 and beyond.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Last week, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) came into force, as part of the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan. This means the EU will introduce design requirements for several categories, with the aim of ensuring products last longer, use less energy, can be easily reused or recycled, and have a smaller environmental footprint. At ecoSPIRITS, we have always believed in a design-first approach to product development and so this bold step by the EU is an important one. For businesses to make the transition to the circular economy, products need to be design-led from the start, so that they can be repaired, reused or at the very least, recycled.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Thank you to the team at Pernod Ricard for this video, which showcases closed loop spirits distribution. At ecoSPIRITS, we believe a transition to circular packaging technology can eliminate single use glass in the spirits and wine industry. This video, which features our ecoPLANT™ at the Havana Club distillery in Cuba and also ecoTOTE™ delivery to Iberostar Group hotels in Cuba, is a great example of how this transition can work.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Proof & Company has launched distribution of seven craft spirits from Husk Distillers' portfolio in ecoTOTE format across Australia. Husk Distillers, which recently joined Proof & Company's stable of distribution brands, is known for its 'farm to bottle' philosophy and passion for sustainability, and is the producer of the popular brands Ink Gin and Husk Rum. The Husk brands will be introduced to venues in New Zealand in ecoTOTE format in the future. . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

"Disruptive innovation at scale" – as described here by Diageo's President, Global Supply Chain & Procurement, Ewan Andrew – neatly summarises Diageo's plans to distribute several of its spirits brands in circular spirits packaging to an expected 18 markets over the next three years. Iconic brands such as Smirnoff, Gordon's, Captain Morgan and Ketel One, will be distributed in ecoTOTE™ format to venues in Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Dominican Republic, and more. This move is a powerful statement, and hopefully one which will raise greater awareness of the problem of single use glass waste in the hospitality sector and beyond. Thank you Diageo for including ecoSPIRITS in your 'grain-to-glass sustainability' strategy.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

Here's a great example of a sustainable venue. Not only is it the world's highest urban microbrewery, but the team at Singapore's LeVeL33 Pte Ltd make a huge effort to minimise its impacts, while still providing an outstanding experience. Founder, Dr. Martin Bém, appointed Faizal Wahab as its Sustainability Officer and Wahab, along with the venue's bar manager, Thomas Sobota, made the decision to take delivery of several spirits in ecoTOTE format. This – along with upcycled furniture, waste reduction, water conservation and more – is just one part of a bigger sustainable picture at LeVeL33.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowcarbon #lowwaste #nosingleuseglass #circulareconomy

ecoSPIRITS is delighted to be featured in this month's Drink Warehouse UK (DWUK) publication, Set The Bar magazine.

Thank you, Pernod Ricard, for inviting ecoSPIRITS Global Customer Success Manager, Solène Marie, to take part in your Responsib’All Day activities in Cuba. The Responsib’All Day initiative takes place annually involving all Pernod Ricard employees across the globe and this year’s event, on June 20th, was dedicated to circular initiatives. In Cuba, the team celebrated the day at Havana Club’s San José distillery, which included a visit to the ecoPLANT. Throughout the day, more than 500 participants, including Havana Club international and Iberostar Group employees, alongside representatives of the Cuban Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, learnt about the project and discussed the potential of circular economy projects.  . . . . #ecospirits #lowwaste #lowcarbon #nosingleuseglass #iberostarcuba Marie Benech
