Sapling Spirits, the world’s first climate-positive British-made spirits brand, sets itself apart with unique and sustainable solutions like the Sapling Climate Positive Vodka Refill. The 70cl refill pouch does away with heavy glass and in doing so, it is said to help reduce Sapling Spirits' carbon footprint by 25%. Environmentally minded consumers also benefit from purchasing this pouch and reducing their household waste, since they can refill a bottle and return the pouch for recycling.
The use of sustainable packaging is becoming increasingly important in the alcohol industry. While some brands are exploring lightweight alternatives to glass, others like Sapling Spirits are implementing the kinds of refill pouches that consumers are already familiar with using in other areas of their lives.
