Sapling Spirits, the London based spirits company, have recently launched a range of vodkas available in eye-catching aluminium bottles supplied by Vetroplas in conjunction with its Spanish manufacturing partner Envases. The move is part of the company’s mission to produce sustainable products and packaging. A BCorp certified company Sapling has demonstrated its commitment to outstanding sustainable performance and transparency about its practices.

 

Aluminium is 100 per cent recyclable and resonates with a strong consumer trend for environmentally friendly packaging. Additionally, as aluminium is lighter than glass, fuel usage is reduced when transporting the finished packs. Aluminium recycling uses, on average, 90% less energy than glass bottles. Sapling also chose to use 100 per cent recycled aluminium (PCR), further increasing the packaging’s green credentials.

 

The 5cl aluminium bottles supplied by Vetroplas – which feature a ROPP neck thread and a BPA NI PE liner – are finished with an aluminium screw cap. The distinctive decoration was achieved by offset printing the artwork over a white base coat and sealed with a matt lacquer. 

 

Commenting, Ned Neville-Rolfe, Head of Operations said: ‘We have a distinctive range of vodkas, and this new packaging format provides both further low carbon credentials and really strong stand out on shelf. The ease with which aluminium bottles can be recycled, as well as them offering 100% PCR aluminium, were also major factors in our choice of Vetroplas’ bottles. We know this element is appreciated by customers and forms part of our philosophy of reducing carbon footprint where possible.”
