Ste. Michelle Wine Transitions to Sustainable Glass Options
Transitioning one traditional glass bottle into Ardagh's ECO Series glass bottles enables Ste. Michelle Wine Estates to reduce its environmental impact and annually save the equivalent of:
- Greenhouse gas emissions from 237 gasoline-powered cars driven in a year
- CO2 emissions from 214 homes' electricity use for one year
"Making sustainable packaging choices, like selecting the ECO Series glass bottles for our portfolio of wines, is a highly impactful change we can make towards reducing our overall carbon emissions," said Juan Muñoz-Oca, Ste. Michelle's Chief Winemaker, who also leads the organization's sustainability practice. "Not only does it make good business sense, but perhaps most importantly, it's the right thing to do."
