Are Refillable Beer Bottles Again Possible in Australia? Circular Economy // Are refillable beer bottles again possible in Australia?

  • Basic Guide to Bottle Identification Say You're Planting a New Tree in Your
    Basic Guide to Bottle Age Identification Say you’re planting a new tree in your backyard, and you dig a hole deeper than you’ve had to dig before. In the hole you find a glass bottle that you didn’t put there. How can you identify the bottle? How can you tell if it is old or just a piece of modern recycling that the previous owner left behind? Below please find a basic guide to help you identify a bottle’s age. Bottle identification is a rabbit hole that I’ve found fun to fall into; one bottle can take hours to research, and sometimes, you can’t find anything on it at all! In addition, manufacturing technological advances were adopted over time, not all at once, so older techniques were used at the same time as newer ones. This makes determining exact age for a bottle that wasn’t machine-made a little tricky. But, by looking at a few basic characteristics, you can learn if you want to toss your find in the recycling bin or place it at the center of your mantle. If you are interested in discovering more, I’ve listed some helpful web sites at the end. If you just want a basic guide, hope this helps! How was the bottle made? The first thing that I do when I handle a bottle is look at the construction – the sides, the top or lip, and the base. Free-Blown - Bottles were blown by hand in antiquity, and free-blown bottles were the main manufacturing technique used before the mid-1800s for utilitarian bottles.

  • Glass Beer Bottle Reuse in Bulgaria
    Glass beer bottle reuse in Bulgaria Kameliya Krumova Environmental Management and Sustainability Science Master Thesis June 2016 Introduction This study has been carried out individually in at the 4th semester of the Master Program Environmental Management and Sustainability Science at Aalborg University. The study has been conducted in Bulgaria between February and May 2016. The subject of this research was suggested by Margarita Georgieva, an ecology expert in Ecology department from Stara Zagora Municipality, Bulgaria. I have been on a three month internship at the Ecology department in Stara Zagora Municipality in the 3rd semester of this Master Program. In the last decades increase in the world’s population results in higher need for food and therefore increase in generation of packaging waste like bottles and boxes (Gómez, et al., 2009). The packaging material could have a significant impact on the environment (Meneses, et al., 2012) (Del Borghi, et al., 2014). Moreover the choice of packaging material could lead to impact on the whole beverage value chain (Simon, et al., 2016). Waste management could become a challenge in fast growing cities (Gómez, et al., 2009). Reuse of packaging should be considered before any other waste treatment, placed under ‘reuse’ in the waste hierarchy pyramid (Babader, et al., 2016) (WRAP, 2011). Although reuse is the easiest way to reduce waste, it has not been a common focus in studies (Babader, et al., 2016). One of the packaging, glass, could be easily reused due to its qualities (Brewers Association, 2014) (INFORM, 2012) (FEVE, n.d.) A common way in Western Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Germany) to reuse glass bottle packaging is through deposit system on beverage plastic, cans and glass bottles including water, beer, siders, non-alcoholic drinks (Zero Waste Europe, 2010).

We sold every single can, regardless of size, within three days! (So did every other supplier). They were supposed to last us until late Fall. Now with Hurricane Ida, and the ensuing tornados and flooding in PA, NJ, and New York, we are getting deluged with orders once again. We have a container on the water, arriving mid-October, but there’s a hitch: the cost of shipping tripled! That will have to be reflected in the prices, obviously. Furthermore, the future prices look bleak. The cost of raw materials soared 27%, and that’ll make ‘em even more pricey on the next go-around!
