Our returnable kegs and bottles are sent back to our
brewery where they are cleaned and reused. Broken
kegs are sold as scrap metal and our cans, bottles,
crown corks and labels rejected during production are
sold to contractors for recycling.
Packaging
GAB’s brews are proudly packed in glass bottles, kegs
and cans. This includes the use of crown corks and
labels as primary packaging for our glass bottles as
well as cardboard and plastic film for transportation.
The use of known or expected carcinogenic or other
harmful substances such as solvents and pigments
are strictly prohibited. The coatings and inks used on
labels, returnable bottles and cans are free of heavy
metals and copper. We also avoid the usage of PVC in
our crown cork liners.
At GAB, our packaging is governed by the highest
quality standards which include ISO 9001:2008 and
HACCP and the Company also complies with the
statutory guidelines.
Bi-products and Waste
Our brewing process creates a number of by-products,
namely spent grain and yeast. The spent grains are
sold as animal feed while most of the spent yeast is
partially treated in the wastewater treatment plant.
Our Plans for the Future
To ensure the environmental sustainability of our
operations, we will continue to set new benchmarks,
targets as well as environmental conservation
initiatives.
We are committed to improving our processes,
conservation resources and undertaking good
recycling practices to minimise the impact of our
business on the environment. As we pursue our Vision
of becoming an Icon in Business, we will work towards
ensuring that the Company remains steadfast to its
environmental sustainability in a way that truly befits
our role as a responsible corporate citizen.
