The go-to Well vodka for Colorado restaurants and bars since 2009, MEll Vodka now sets a new standard in the restaurant industry with MEll Zero Waste Vodka.
MEll Zero Waste Vodka with reused packaging takes the industry back to the future, when we all bought milk in reusable glass bottles delivered and picked up by the local milkman. It’s as simple as that. Same great taste, same great 1L bottle, but now at a fraction of the environmental cost of trashing or even recycling bottles.
Of course recycling is lots better than pitching bottles in the trash bin. But, according to gov’t stats, in the US only 30% of glass bottles are recycled! In Colorado, over 320,000 tons of glass bottles were thrown away in 2015 –with only 20,000 tons being recycled. That means only 6.25% of glass bottles were recycled in Colorado!
The other problem: a recycled glass bottle has about the same carbon footprint as a bottle made from virgin materials. According to a report by the NREL, It takes almost as much energy to make a bottle from reclaimed glass as it does a bottle from raw material!
A reused bottle has a trace of the energy intensity of a recycled bottle. It’s as simple as that!
Pour MEll Zero Waste Vodka, and raise a toast to Mother Nature!
