bottles for the company in 2020 , we all know what happened next ! Those 18 + months were put to good use as research and development time for Event Wine Solutions and their dream of mono-layer 100 % rPET bottles finally became a reality in 2021 with projections for 2022 smashing all expectation .

“ As the world transitions away from fossil fuels there is a clear need for all fossil fuel derived plastics to be phased out , as the amount of waste and carbon emissions that our ‘ civilised ’ society creates is obviously totally unacceptable . By using recycled plastic in their products and moving away from all virgin sourced ( primary sources ) plastic , Event Wine Solutions ( EWS ) are making use of the rubbish that would otherwise be consigned to landfill , giving relief to the burden of primary sourced aluminium and help to give value to ‘ rubbish .’ This is a considered and sensible approach to the plastic problem and a realistic way of phasing it out .
Once the carbon audit of the packaging , ( measuring the emissions of the rPET , bottle cap and paper ) was complete , the Clean Earth Collective ( CEC ) presented EWS with the opportunity of offsetting the emissions that the packaging creates . They have now supported a variety of projects , including a cookstove project in Malawi , a wind farm in Costa Rica , an Indian Solar project , a geothermal project in El Salvador and a rainforest conservation project in Peru . The rainforest project in Peru has been backed up with another project to give absolute assurance that the correct number of tonnes have been mitigated and avoided through the support of the projects . All projects have

been chosen by the CEC for their contribution in the fight against climate change in countries that need the most help , and have been verified and certified by international standards , including the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate change , the Gold Standard and VERRA . Climate action needs to be a worldwide collective effort , and by supporting projects that will have the most impact we will dramatically improve the possibility of keeping global warming below the 1.5 degree increase that is essential in avoiding climate breakdown .
This now means that from 2021 , the packaging of EWS ’ bottles have achieved carbon neutral status , support recycling and that their wine has been sourced locally from Europe rather than farther afield , giving then the environmental credentials that many of their customers now expect .”
