The 100% Sicily Bottle from O-I is a glass wine bottle made with local raw ingredients and up to 90 percent recycled glass from Sicily. The bottle is created at O-I’s glass manufacturing plant in Sicily and used by Sicilian wineries.
The 100% Sicily Bottle: A Sustainable Solution for a Circular Economy
Glass packaging is inherently sustainable and the ideal material to support a low-waste circular economy. The more recycled glass that glass manufacturers use to create new bottles, the glass-making process requires less energy and creates fewer emissions.
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.
