Recycling Waste
PRODUC T PACKAG I NG
GAB’s brews are 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 is 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.
Our kegs and bottles are returnable and 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.
We are reducing our use of aluminium by reducing
the wall thickness of our cans. In 2009 we used
141.5 million pieces of reduced-wall aluminium
cans, saving 28.3mt of aluminium, and in 2010 we
used 159.9 million of even further reduced-wall
cans (0.280mm), resulting in savings of 31.98mt
of aluminium. This translates into a significantly
reduced impact from both the production of the raw
material, and subsequent transport emissions.
WAS T E F ROM PRODUC T I ON
The vast majority of our industrial waste – over
22,000 tonnes - consists of used grains and yeast.
These products are used for animal feed. An additional
1,400 tonnes annually consists of packaging waste,
which is sent to be recycled locally. This year,
we achieved a major milestone, when we achieved a
100% recycling rate for industrial waste.
We generate 0.6 tonnes of hazardous waste, primarily
from cleaning operations. This is sent to a licensed
contractor.
