The reWINE's final event is comming
On 21 October 2020, we invite you to the final workshop where we will present the results of reWINE project, which demonstrate the viability of a sustainable system for the collection, cleaning, and reuse of glass bottles in the Catalan wine industry.
Within the framework of the project, 7 Catalan wineries, more than 30 shops, 50 restaurants and 3 collection centers have participated for 20 months in a pilot test to demonstrate the technical, environmental, social and economic viability of a system for reusing bottles of wine. During this time, we recovered 80.829 bottles.
On 21 October 2020, the results of the environmental and economic study of the pilot test will be presented, showing how reuse can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of wine bottles and reduce costs for wineries. In addition, it will be shown which washing and logistics systems are most favorable to achieve this objective.
Due to the COVID-19, the event will be hosted as a virtual online and it will be broadcast on the YouTube channel. It is aimed at all entities related to the production, sale and consumption of wine bottles. In addition to showing the results of the pilot test, the event will also feature a round table on different initiatives that promote the reuse of bottles and a debate on how to implement reuse in Catalonia.
The workshop will be in Spanish and it will be enlivened with the interpretation of different piano pieces from the album ÈTIM (2020) by Lluís Capdevila, from the modernist cooperative winery in Falset.
