Rewine is a project inspired by the amount of glass bottles that are not recycled in Catalunya: they represent around 70,000 tons of glass a year. The UE is financing the rewine project, an incentive to use go back to old bottling methods and reutilize bottles that have already been used. These bottles will have a Rewine lable, indicating that that bottle is not being used for the first time.
The pilot has been a huge success: since October 2018, 50,000 bottles already have the rewine label. Adherence from different vineyards has also been a huge success: 4 catalan wineries and 50 restaurants in the region are already part of the program.
Let's hope this effort serves as an example for other regions, to make people aware of the importance of reutilization and contribute to the UE's fight against climate change.
