- Respect the terroirs and preserve resources
Reducing environmental impact and recycling waste
What else can the wineries do to reduce waste?
A number of initiatives can be implemented at each stage of the winemaking and packaging process in order to preserve resources.
Recycling
- Collecting and recycling of the packaging and plastic films used to package phytosanitary products.
- Recycling water and organic matter : In the winery, the water used for rinsing the facilities and equipment contains plant debris, filtration earth, yeast, micro-organisms, sugars, organic acids, alcohol, etc. This effluent is sent to a settling tank to recuperate the organic matter, which is then used as fertiliser*.
- Using recyclable packaging : The packaging for the wines going into bottle or Bag in Box (BIB) is optimised to make it recyclable. Less demanding in terms of raw materials, the weight of this packaging is reduced. This results in lower CO2 emissions during production and transport.
Usinge plant-based ink, glass and corks from 100% recycled sources…
The entire production chain is scrutinised in order to create an activity that is increasingly more sustainable.
