Bars and restaurants, when open for business, go through a lot of bottles of liquor. Though usually made of glass, which is recyclable, there is still room for improvement and opportunities to make less of an environmental impact from boozing.
Reducing the amount of packaging used at the bar is achievable with refillable bottles and returnable kegs, something London-based distillery Victory has done, serving up botanical-forward craft gins plastic-free. Victoryâs 700ml bottles are reusable by design, and its KeyKegs can refill the same bottle 28 times. The distiller also sells single, 700ml refills in recyclable aluminum cans.
