O-I Glass Presents Its 'Cento per Cento Sicilia' Bottles: Circular Economy Applied to Glass Production in Sicily - Seite 2

The bottles are characterized by a customized bottom logo depicting the concept of circular economy and they are made entirely within O-I's Plant in Marsala. These bottles are made of 90% recycled glass (at least) sourced uniquely from Sicily and are also extremely light, weighing in at just 410g, which ensures energy savings in terms of production.

A significant part of the project relies on the citizens, who play an important role in the sorting of waste and glass, thanks to the support of SARCO, which thoroughly sorts and cleans the glass to make it available to the O-I Marsala Plant - the only glasswork on the Island - which transforms it into the "Cento per Cento Sicilia" bottles. Indeed, the project also aims to make citizens and cities more aware of virtuous glass recycling - encouraging them to become more critical in their consumption of glass.

Thanks to the support and partnership with Fondazione SOStain Sicilia, once the bottles are made, they are delivered to wine producers in the region, minimizing the impact on the territory and reducing the carbon footprint to the bare minimum.

"This is exactly what the work of the entire SOStain community is about: combining energies and skills of responsible people in order to develop research projects that are able to respond, through innovative solutions, to the sustainability needs expressed by Sicilian wine producers, in harmony with the characteristics of the territory," says Alberto Tasca, President of Fondazione SOStain Sicilia. "With the "Cento per Cento Sicilia" bottle, it was the great teamwork we have with the O-I glassworks that allowed us to reduce the carbon footprint linked to the transport of glass and to improve our sustainability standards. It is an exciting result achieved thanks to the contribution of all 40 companies associated with Fondazione SOStain to date".

One of the most tangible examples of O-I Glass' sustainability lies within the Marsala plant. For example, the dust eliminated by the flue gas filter is recovered and reintroduced into the melting furnace, avoiding the formation of any waste type; on an energy perspective, heat from the flue gas is used in Marsala to pre-heat the combustion air, saving energy, and water from the local water purifier is used instead as industrial water.

The ‘Cento per Cento Sicilia' project, together with the marketing of its bottles, aims to be a concrete example of a sustainable economy, thus encouraging those involved in the supply chain - starting with the consumer - to choose products that are sustainable and able to safeguard the Sicilian territory.
