WHEATON Sustainability

COMMITMENT TO A GREENER FUTURE.

wheaton brasil

The circular economy is a new way of thinking about the future, rethinking the entire process of a product, from manufacturing to disposal, including its useful life, end-to-end, to reduce environmental impacts.

INTERNAL GLASS REUSE:

We reuse 100% of the flint and amber glass generated in our operations during the production process. It returns to our melting furnaces in the form of cullet, which is also considered a raw material and is reused to produce new packaging, reducing the extraction of virgin raw materials from nature.

WHEATON-BRASIL




01. ENERGY MATRIX

Since 2023, our electricity has been 100% sourced from certified hydroelectric power.

02. CULLET

Every Wheaton bottle contains at least 20% internal glass cullet, originating from our own production process. It is reused to produce new packaging, reducing the extraction of raw materials from nature.

03. Post-Consumer Recycled Glass

Flint glass (transparent) uses post-consumer recycled glass (PCR). We produce flint glass packaging with 15% PCR and amber glass with around 40% PCR.

04. LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

The design of lightweight bottles involves lower water and energy consumption, as well as reduced CO2 emissions.

05. SCREW FINISH

Refillable bottles can be reused multiple times. This sustainable finish facilitates and speeds up the separation of materials in the recycling process.

06. WATER-BASED INKS

Colors, textures, effects, and innovations to differentiate products without the use of solvents, with a lower environmental impact than traditional solvent-based inks.

07. CARDBOARD PACKAGING | Special Projects

The cardboard boxes used for transportation are 100% recyclable and can be reused through the development of exclusive projects for returnable boxes. This significantly reduces waste disposal and environmental impact. Commitment to sustainability beyond glass.
