For the love of nature

Vinolok’s commitment to sustainability drives all parts of the glass production and delivery.

Vinolok™ Sustainability - Fully Recyclable

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

Vinolok™ strictly adheres to a comprehensive program of environmentally responsible business and production that complies with all major EU standards and legislation.
Production and technology are regularly subjected to voluntary audits by accredited laboratories and organisations. Our priority is to ensure safe and sustainable production and safe working conditions for employees worldwide. 

Keep it green

Glass is known worldwide as not only the safest for food and beverage packaging, but also the safest for the environment. It can be infinitely recycled and refilled without losing clarity, purity or quality. This makes glass the archetype of sustainable packaging and as such it is usually the first choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Vinolok™ Sustainability - Natural Materials

Vinolok’s commitment to sustainability drives all parts of the glass production and delivery.

Vinolok™ Sustainability - Glass Recycling

Glass
recycling

99% of glass cullet from the Vinolok™ production is used again in the production of the closures. Glass recycling has a direct impact on climate change and the use of recycled glass reduces carbon emissions and saves energy. Recycled glass melts at a lower temperature than virgin materials, so the use of recycled glass instead of raw materials helps to conserve natural resources.

Water
conservation

Vinolok™ adheres to strict emission limits for pollutants set for water discharged into sewage systems. For example, the adoption of a closed cooling water loop minimizes water consumption during the glass melting process.

Responsible sourcing

The glass closure is made from the best raw materials from local sources. Furthermore, production takes place in northern Bohemia. Mining of glass sand, glass melting and pressing all take place locally within 40 km of the company headquarters.

Packaging and shipping

Even after the Vinolok™ closure is produced, we continue to focus on efficient and low impact materials and procedures to deliver the closure to the customers.

%

The cardboard box in which  closures are delivered is made of recycled material (68%) and is suitable for further recycling after use. The surface is made of primary fiber to ensure the packaging hygiene.

%

The trays, which hold the closures in place during transport, are made of PET three-layer foil. The inner layer, which represents 80% of the total blister thickness, is made of already recycled PET material. Both outer layers are made of virgin PET material and thus meet the specifications for food contact material. The entire tray is completely recyclable.

%

The pallets used for shipping the boxes with Vinolok™ closures are 100% reusable.

Recycling
shipping trays

The efficient design of these trays allows them to be stacked one on another tightly wrapped in a sturdy package. After bottling, for smaller quantities you can throw them in the recycle bin for plastic or, for larger quantities, search for a PET recycling company. Contact our customer service department to help you find one near you.

Vinolok™
sealing ring

The sealing ring is made of material EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer) manufactured by DOW. It is not silicone resin and it is PVC and phthalates free. The ring complies with European regulations for materials intended to come into contact with beverages. It is not glued to the closure, you can remove it by hand and recycle.

Upcycling

The life cycle of a glass closure can be unlimited. Upcycling means turning a product into something useful and often beautiful; this can happen with a glass closure and a bottle. Not only is it good for the environment, it also creates memorable branding.

Quality first

One of the main objectives of the Vinolok™ company is to provide customers with high-quality products and services. Every single glass closure passes 100% quality check four times during the production process and therefore Vinolok™ is a guarantee of securely sealed beverage. In order to satisfy customers‘ existing and future product quality and safety requirements, the Vinolok™ company has established an Integrated Management System with the application of modern management principles and international standards.
