One hits the market bottle of very light cava, developed by the global producer of glass containers Verallia in collaboration with the Codorníu winery. This new bottle weighs 775 grams, 125 less than the traditional ones, maintaining the same firmness and quality. The company will bottle more than half of its cavas with the new bottle and, in the coming years, the forecast is to extend its use to all of its production.
The new packaging will mean great savings in CO2 emissions and glass. For a consumption of 10 million bottles per year, the difference between using the old containers or the new ones is clear: 250 tons of glass will be saved and as it is manufactured just 75 km from the Cava, the reduction of the carbon footprint is important.
The new bottle, like all those used by the company, is made of glass, a 100% recyclable material.
The action responds to Codorníu's firm commitment to sustainability and its purpose of 'giving value to the land', generating the minimum impact on the planet and guaranteeing that value is regenerated throughout the chain, from the grape to the bottle. The winery, which produced the first bottle of cava in 1872, is once again a pioneer in sustainability.
Raventós Codorníu, the oldest wine and cava producer in Spain, is the largest producer of organic cava in the world. Currently, it sells close to 5 million bottles of organic cava a year, 35% of the world market. In 2023, Codorníu will be a 100% organic winery.
